Musical Instruments, do you play?

[korn101]

Well, Do you play a musical instrument? What do you play? What kind of music do you play with it? What Model/Make of Instrument is it? Are you a beginner/intermediate/pro ? etc etc



I'll start

I play guitar and have been doing so for 2 and a half years, i have an Ibanez Art-120 in White its a les paul copy guitar, it cost me R5000. I love it, its awesome, i've had it for half a year now, I used to mostly play metal with it, but now i play more blues and rock (hendrix, zeppelin, bad company, etc.) I'd consider myself an Intermediate player, I can play Hendrix and stuff, but im not hectically amazingly good. yay

I play acoustic guitar, and bass . I've been playing acoustic for about 6 years, and I still suck. Bass I've been playing for about a year. I'm okayish, but still not where I want to be. All it takes is practice, but lack of time and laziness puts a stop to that :/

Drums, been playing for about a year now, too little time to practice nowadays. Mostly play classic rock and thrash metal. My snare skin broke the other day, fark. I have to get 'nother one.

I guess i'ma professional muso, in that I make my living out of writing/performing music.
Bass is my first love, got 2 usa made fender precision basses, one with rosewood neck and one with maple. These are my go-to basses, really the ultimate all round bass imho.

next, i have this warwick limited edition 5-string that is sort of my prize bass, one of 200 made.

I also have an Ibanez acoustic 4-string and a classic hofner beatle bass, as well as this unusual jack casady epiphone bass, with flatwound strings.

For amplification I have a roland 100w cube and a markbass new york 1x12"

As for guitars, got a usa fender strat and fender tele and a fernandez strat copy, an ibanez steel string and an epiphone nylon classical.

Amp - fender jazzmaster vintage tube amp.

I have a casio weighted piano keyboard, 88 keys, and a novation remote sl61 for the midi stuff, as well as the NI Maschine drumpad and kore2 midi controller.

thats the basics of the setup, i love my instruments!

That's cool! Do you play in a band? I want to make a living from music, it is certainly one of my passions.

I have been playing the drums for about 4-5 years but I am no where as good as I should be. I am now starting the piano as it will help me greatly in music production.

My ultimate dream is also to work in music production. It would make my life complete.

Some people do that for fun you know.

If there is anyway I can engineer it, I am hoping to maybe do a B.Mus next year majoring in music tech, of which I have already completed 2 years.

What do you do assegai?

I write the music for a couple of drama series and the odd film/documentary/commercial/jingle etc
also got some ongoing contracts doing the music for some soapies, all that background stuff/beats etc.

Also have a band (busy recording first album) and make some of my own stuff, mostly for fun but i've had a couple of commercial releases over the years.
Here's a vid from my previous band, I'm the guy on keyboards: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXEU-JjtwHY

I play the harmonica and the guitar (crappy acoustic I have had for ages, I have an old Morris acoustic as well but it is quite banged up, beautiful sound though). I have been playing for just under 10 years.

Harmonica I play like a retard, guitar I am not too bad. Probably intermediate.
