I pretend to play guitar, have a couple telecasters that I make terrible noise with. It keeps me amused though and I've mastered the opening lick of Folsom Prison!

Piano. A thousand years ago. I had to take piano lessons, and actually enjoyed it once I was advanced enough to play entire pieces. But I drifted away from it, and now can't even read music any more.

Viola back in Jr high, started electric guitar and drums in high school. Haven't played drums in about 5 years.

 

[Dannydet]

Bass guitar since the late 70s onwards.
Mainly rock, but I'll play anything, from country to jazz. Some of my favorites are Rush, Van Halen, Deftones, Led Zeppelin, to Tower of Power

I'm an opera singer. I was trained at The Juilliard School, where I got my Bachelors and Masters Degrees. I sang professionally and then starting teaching singing years ago. I have a large practice now. My daughter got her Bachelors in music from Univ of Kentucky and now teaches in my NJ studio, while I'm in my NYC studio. I teach professionals and those who want to be. So, I guess I qualify as one.

Does this count? My grandsons are learning to play several instruments, including the piano and ukulele.

Thank you for the Welcome there Steve and everyone else... My daughter self taught herself piano at around 3 yrs of age and I was awed. My granddad was a jazz musician and played piano, drums, banjo and harmonica. Music to me is an escape.

We did recorded a b-side not long ago, so it should be in my band's little project soon,
no inboxes or anything of that kind, we are off the grid kind of musicians thanks - Milo.

I envy those that have mastered an instrument. Personally, I play a mean radio.

I wasted a good half of my life chasing the dream.

Learned to read music while taking piano lessons as a kid.

Never advanced too far, but one day someone put a bass in my hands, and within minutes I had figured out the majority of Sweet Leaf from Black Sabbath.

That was the start.
Our equipment was always poo, and as I was always the 'fixer', I learned how to set intonation by ear and install pickups all by myself.

Eventually worked my way into a heavy death metal band that played originals and covers.
Used to play around Detroit a little, and it was so cool to blow everyone's mind with a night of Slayer and Metallica broken up with originals and a few oddballs from The Rolling Stones, Kansas, Black Sabbath, etc.

After that, it was a slow, miserable, downhill spiral as heavy metal faded and that heroin addled Grunge crap took over for 20+ years, yuck.
(Who needs all those bands that sounded the same, with singing that sounded like a constipated cat?)

Anyway, wound up running sound for a few years at various places locally, for multiple hundreds of different acts.

After not playing since 2008 or so, I am trying to get back into it, but my arthritis is telling me not to push it and I am not so enthusiastic about what we are playing (or trying to, anyway).

I was the second best piano accordion player in a class around that age, for about 3 or 4 years. Got my picture in the paper at the annual Cork shindig.
Our glamorous lady teacher figured we were too dumb to learn to read real music so she had an ABC system. I rue never learning, though I could have pursued it later.
I picked up an accordion 20 years on and couldn't string 3 notes.

Took drum lessons in the 80's which I would have loved but didn't have the natural skill or talent.
