What instruments do you play/want to learn? - Evan - Nov. 16, 2010
I play guitar, bass, banjo, piano, drums, and harmonica mainly, but I dabble in mandolin, slide guitar, and theremin.
I started with bass about 4 years ago and I've just added more and more since.
What about you guys?
Instruments I own:
Takamine G-Series EG363SC Acoustic\Electric Guitar
1972 Fender Telecaster Thinline Reissue Electric Semi-Hollow Guitar
Squier Affinity P Bass Guitar
Hohner Banjo
Hohner Music Maker Harmonica
Korg Nano-Key
Radioshack Rebranded Casio Keyboard (Not sure of the model number, but it's a nice workstation with a full grand piano keyset)
Latin Percussion Mini-Conga
African Djembe

Trombone. Although this is no use for anything much except jazz, but I can always go with piano...
RE: What instruments do you play/want to learn? - Ray Joker - Nov. 16, 2010
I've been playing piano for about 3-4 years now.
At first it was boring, learning songs I hated, but after awhile, I finally got to play my own song.

No use except jazz?! Are you kidding me? Trombone is such a versatile instrument. Listen to some reggae, ska, folk, and indie music man! I wish I could play brass or woodwind, but unless I have a fretboard or a physical way of knowing where the notes are it confuses me beyond belief.

I play the Piano, not too good yet.
And I also play percussion at school, I still suck though.
RE: What instruments do you play/want to learn? - Evan - Nov. 16, 2010
Piano is a very tricky instrument...but also one of the most expressive. I've been "playing" it for a few years but I'm just now starting to grasp the basics.
RE: What instruments do you play/want to learn? - Pyro - Nov. 16, 2010
I'm actually pretty good, I just can't stay with the metronome.
RE: What instruments do you play/want to learn? - 桃太郎 - Nov. 16, 2010
I play the piano, and I've been playing since I was about five or six. Hm, that would be about fourteen to fifteen years now. I used to play the flute, the alto-saxophone, and the violin, but I've forgotten how to play them.
RE: What instruments do you play/want to learn? - Link Ratchet - Nov. 16, 2010
I play Guitar, Bass, Drums, Piano/Synthesizer, Cello, Violin

Can you count music? That will really help. Try setting your metronome pretty slow and tap your feet with each count. In 4\4 simply count 1-2-3-4 or 1-and-2-and-3-and-4-and. Once you get this down in tempo you can try speeding up.
Other time signatures are a little harder, but counting becomes very easy the more you do it. 3\4 is counted as 1-2-3-1-2-3, 6\8 as 1-and-2-and-3-and, 5\4 as 1-2-3-4-5-1-2-3-4-5-. Those are the basic time signatures that most others are based off of. I can illustrate this by using a 7\4 count (such as in my band's song Wasted Days or the Pink Floyd song Money) it as 1 bar of 3\4 and 1 bar of 4\4. 1-2-3-1-2-3-4-1-2-3-1-2-3-4-. Or as two bars of 3\4 and 1 one 1\4 like 1-2-3-1-2-3-1-1-2-3-1-2-3-1-.

Any instrument you currently play will help you play any other instrument. Music is universal (aside from Inidian semi-tones and stuff) so once you have an ear for it you will be able to pick up other instruments quicker. If you can read music, by all means use it, but as a word of advice fretted instruments are much easier to learn when using tab.
