Guitar, harp, and teaching myself piano...

Saxophone, *very* rudimentary guitar.
That there are harpists is extremely cool, and a little unexpected. What prompted you harpists to learn?

Having a saxophonist is pretty cool as well
Last School Year I was taking a music theory class, which greatly enhanced my appreciation for classical music. Combine that with a Joanna Newsom obsession, and the Harp was the perfect fit for me.

I would love to learn cello.
We have a piano. I should start dabbling in that. Maybe this winter when I'm bored.

I heard Dalton plays the skin flute, but he makes a lot of bold claims when he's plastered.

Drums (almost 8 years )
I started taking guitar lessons back in April. It's so much fun.

Piano, Cello, Glockenspiel, Clarinet
Drums (I did for about three years, but stopped over a year ago now because I broke my arm) & the violin (which I gave up after three years too)
I'm a big quitter when it comes to instruments. I'm just not musical, and they're just too hard.

I played piano for a few years, just the basic books and stuff, but then we went to a different campus for half a year in Year 9, and they didn't have a piano, so that stopped that. But I would love to get back into it... does anyone know if there are any good like "piano tabs" sites or something? I'd love to learn how to play RTSS or October or Imagine on piano.
I also want to teach myself guitar down the road... any tips?

I've been a singer for years (mainly chamber choir-type stuff, with some forays into singing with rock bands and singing for weddings), and used to be a very proficient pianist.
I majored in music and gave an hour-long piano recital my senior year of college, but haven't played for some years now. I can't play any of the pieces I used to know, but slap some music in front of me and I can play it. I get roped in to plunking out notes for choir from time to time, and it's a relief to know I CAN still play, I just need to get back into the groove.
I really miss playing.
I also played French Horn in junior high and high school. I don't miss that.

Thanks, pf.
I've been debating whether or not I should record a video of Shine On You Crazy Diamond (pts. 1-5), but nftube would own me in every way possible.

I have a black Flying V that I should probably play more often. A trumpet, too.

Thanks! It looks nice, but it's a piece of shit actually, heh. I want to sell it to an unsuspecting teenager. I much prefer my Strat...

Truth! I'm hopeless at slapping and popping, though. I need to take some lessons...

That's awesome, GibsonGirl!
I play acoustic guitar and the piano, and can very horribly play a few tunes on violin and the flute. My musical background has been mainly vocal and piano, although I haven't been a part of a choir or had piano lessons in many years.
I took guitar lessons at a local community centre last year, and it was an incredible price, with a fabulous teacher. I'm hoping to take the next level in the fall.

Yeah, I can't do any of that fancy stuff. I can play without a pick though, so I sort of consider myself able to play bass
Strats are awesome. that was my dad's main axe for a long time though he recently just got a gorgeous all black Telecaster. I love my Explorer but sometimes I'm a bit jealous...
I also have a Fender Squier which is the cheap version of the Strat for anyone who isn't familiar. it's cream and white and left-handed so I string it backwards...I'm like the reverse Hendrix
i have an acoustic tooi'm jealous of anyone who can play piano. I'd love to learn sometime. I had lessons as a kid but wasn't disciplined enough.

Saxophone, focus mostly on soprano
Guitar
Basic piano playing, mostly use it for composing
Some shit harmonica playing that I throw in once in awhile when I'm feeling folksy haha, I need to meet someone who could actually teach me to play it well.
