Anybody here musicians?

I play guitar, bass and piano. I own a Fender Telecaster ('tis my baby), some cheapy bass (I'm thinking of buying my friends Epiphone T-Bird) and I need a Midi keyboard to hook up to my computer, been playing music overall for about 5 years. I can play most styles on guitar, and compose for most of them, apart from classical guitar and I can't compose for blues, I haven't really tried to be honest. I need to learn some classical guitar, fingerpicking is so satisifying.

Anybody else here play instruments? If so what do you play and what styles do you prefer to play/make music for/listen to?

Guitar and piano. Though I'm not really that good at it.

Hi musicians ,
 
I'm a guitarist and songwriter, been in a couple of bands in the past, done a couple of gigs but nothing huge.
My favorite music is Hard Rock and Blues but I'll always find something great in all genres of music and my CD collection spans most stuff.
 
Been playing guitar and writing for over 20 years now and still dream of being a big rock star, but need to realise that i've missed that boat.
 
My main guitars are:
 
Gibson Les Paul Classic fitted with Seymour Duncan pickups
Fender Mexican Telecaster
Ibanez RG Prestige
Ibanez GSR Bass
Ovation Celebrity Deluxe electro acoustic
 
Amplification:
 
Marshall JMP1
Mesa Boogie Triaxis
TC Electronics G Major
Marshall AVT 150X
 
I've pixeled some of my amp gear on hear and hope to carry on with my guitars soon.
 
It's great to meet other musicians who also have a big love of Pixel Art ...keep Rockin'

I play guitar. I was in a band for few weeks once.
But nowadays I just play it as a hobby.

I play guitar and scream for a band.
We're local and small, but I hope to some day get a "real" gig as we've only played twice at my high school.
 
I love alternative and metal and punk rock music: stuff like Silverstein, We Came as Romans, Of Mice and Men, and Escape the Fate is what I'm wanting to sound like with my own band.
 
If you're wondering, I use a Line 6 half stack for an amplifier and a Fender Squire for a guitar.
Here is a pic of the custom paint job I did for it. Hehe.

If I had to get a gibson it would be a Gibson SG Supreme :D

My favourite bands atm are;

The Beatles
Led Zeppelin

Kasabian
The Prodigy
Queens of the Stone Age
The Foo Fighters
Nirvana
The Artic Monkeys
Daft Punk

Many more that I can't remember atm.

I'm in a band but it's a family band, me, my cousin, his dad and my dad. Me on lead guitar/lead singer. When I go to college I'm going to form a band with my drummer friend, but we need a bassist.

I already have like 11 songs that we're gonna play; once we find a competent bassist we can make an album :D

I'm a guitar player mainly, but I own a bass an drums to.
I've played all of them in different bands.

And I compose allot of music style's, but mainly beatle like things, or eric clapton. But I try everything, from hip hop beats to classical music. From metal to blues.

Anyways, been making noise now for around I guess.. mhh, 6/7 years now?
I love making it. Started recently on chiptune-esk stuff, and mixing that with a real band.

I have finisht one song, (a while ago tough)..

Anyhow, I almost literally breath music.

I mostly play guitar, it's been roughly 22 years now,
also did 5 years of saxophone and some piano, but
I don't feel really creative with these. I am currently
learning the cello and I can't wait to master marry
had a little lamb, it's a slow process, I'm getting too
old for this :)
