Any Musicians Out There?

[CoreyDaun]

I wouldn't refer to myself as a "musician", exactly, as I don't think I'm at a high enough skill level.

I can play/am learning: Guitar, Piano, Harmonica

I own a few guitars, one being a 12-String, and another being a Goya classical guitar from the 1940's (I believe).

[TBasich]

"Musician" is relative, I guess.

I sing. I was accepted into college for vocal performance (long story as to why I didn't follow that road). I've played classical guitar since I was 8, though I don't play often anymore.

My guitar is one of my favorite possessions, even if I don't pick it up much right now. Collectively, my dad and I own five or six guitars. 

Next up? BANJO!

I sing, and I own a couple of guitars.  Daughter and I started taking lessons a few years back and go to busy with life to keep going.  With her going off to college this fall, I may get  back into it.  One is a stratocaster knock-off electric, and the other is an electric acoustic.  Back in my younger years I was known to (try to) write a song or two.

I sing choral music at church, my range is technically baritone, but I can hit most of the bass thru tenor range.  Most of the singing I do is in the car on the way home from work, where I can belt out rock and roll with no one telling me to shut up!  On a good day I can sing along passingly well with Brad Delp of Boston.  Always been tempted to try out for America's Got Talent... not sure I have to guts for it though.

In the Shower I think I'm Caruso (wife disagrees).

In the Garage I think I'm the next James Cotton (dogs in the 'hood like to join in by howling).

Critics 🙂

Rockin the Electric Guitar, some acoustic.  AC/DC, mostly.  Some blues riffs & lead.  I play too hard, have to re-tune every other song.  The Electric guitar is the HOT ROD of music instruments.  I made my own guitar with a 1x3 pine, shish-kabob skewers and some cheap tuners.  I take it camping so it doesn't use much room.

If i didn't play guitar, i'd play piano.

I am personally not a musician, but my wife is.  In fact she runs a personal bussiness as an "entertainer"  She does sing-a-longs at different nursing homes in the area.  She usually take a piano/keyboard but sometimes she will take a guitar, a ukelele, a mandolin, and a harp.  She ends up with about 10-15 "shows" a month.

Just a wanna-be here.

I used to sing with a church group when I was a teenager. Did you know there was Christian Rap and Hip-Hop? Well, now you know. Hehehe... we did some of the Sister Act stuff, too, that was pretty popular when I was a kid.

Always backup, though, no solos. My husband isn't a fan of my vocal displays, though, so now I just usually keep it to the car and shower. I think I've got a pretty narrow range... those of you who have met me can tell I'm not a soprano, lol.

I do own a guitar (which I've always played right-handed 😉 ), but, I didn't have very many lessons when I got it (back in college... the first time around).

Since I've finally finished my degree and the kids are old enough to not need me constantly, I told my husband I'd like to pick back up on it, and, he's all for getting me out of the house more 😉 , he's even found me an instructor. I'm looking forward to getting back into it.

Didn't Robert Green do a poll a couple years ago about how many CAD Mangler types are musicians? Seems like there's a lot out there.

So far, it appears that I'm the first drummer! Only 27 years only and been playing drums since I was 10. It's more of a hobby than anything. I never played in a band with friends, but always enjoy rocking out to some of my favorite bands.

[Charles_Shade]

Steering-wheel-air-guitar is about as musical as I can get.

[bgingerich]

Yeah, buddy!  Piano and any bass/baritone parts!!  Currently working on this song, but my dream is Gershwin's Rapsody.

[CADiva]

I play the piano with our church music team 1-3 times a month.  The youth finally found another keyboard player for their Sunday leading music, so I may get to back off a bit again. I don't typically sing while I play 'cause it's hard enough to keep up playing, but occasionally I will prepare a solo to throw in my offertory selection.  As long as I can play what I'm singing, I generally stay on key.

I have played the oboe for 5 years growing up, but didn't end up sticking with it.  I also played alto and tenor sax a bit about the same time.  I still have an oboe, but it hasn't seen the light of day in many years.

Excuse me, young lady... ~makes shooing motion~ Get back over there where you belong!!!

[CoreyDaun]

Hey! She can post anywhere she wants to - she's a big girl and can make these decision on her own!

Says who?  I's a big girl!

[Mistress0fTheDorkness]

I went there, and there were no new posts... it was awful!!! ~sniff~

[Electrik]

I started life as a drummer, gigged 100 dates/year for a bit, while doing this CAD thing 40-50 hours/week.

Now, my 6 guitars and 2 basses entertain me. The oddballs? A Kramer Ferrington, and a BC Rich Bich 10-string. Not many people are familiar with those.

[asommer]

Those who have and play a guitar tend to have more than one.
