Re: Who plays an Instrument no reason just being nosy

I played the Trombone for a year as a kid and could give a mean rendition of twinkle twinkle little star!

I started to play bass in my teens but I was not much cop, I was more fussed about the being in a band part, I got to play the only bass line I new well enough at one gig it was Nirvana's In Bloom. I spent the rest of the Gig stopping the kick drum from sliding accross the shiny wodden floor.

There ended my musical career, although I can still do the bass line from the old formula one intro music......

I play guitar, never progressed beyond much beyond 3 or 4 chord rock /blues turnarounds, used to play a mean johnny b goode, with the assistance of a little alcahol.

Re: Who plays an Instrument no reason just being nosy

hi eyecandy I play bass, acoustic guitar and keyboards - all of them at level 8. 8 years old, that is. have mastered the black notes on my Korg M1 - now for the left hand :-) think I'm better at writing. have had a few tunes released ( new agey stuff I suppose it would be called if you were being polite ) probably best known for a tune I wrote as a joke called The Stick and Bucket Dance probably the only Ninja Morris Dance accompaniment in existence - it sold well into the double figures. no, really ! Sorry you asked now, eh ;-)

that's a coincidence. I used to play the most amazing version of the bass part to la villa strangiato after a few mushrooms :-/

thats cool ! respect to anyone who plays an unfretted neck. I have to stay focused when i'm playing fretless bass. fraction out and you bum the note. used a bow and fx pedal on my bass many years ago when i were a nipper. think i'd just seen led zep perform at knebworth- that would be 1979-oh dear. violin bow guitar by jimmy page - brilliant ! violin bow bass by adi - utter sh*te !

I've played guitar for 13 years, used to play the violin but I was awful so gave it up!

I'd love to play the drums but just don't have the room (or coordination!) for them!

Bit of a novice on the spoons but am told I play an amazing uncoordinated air guitar (Only when beer fuelled mind).

Re: Who plays an Instrument no reason just being nosy
