Well, if so, what do you play? and for how long? and what made you pick that instrument over the others.
I've been playing bass for about 4 years now.
And I play bass because it's sound's more powerful and smoother then guitar, to me. and i can kinda do more stuff with it.
I also play keys. not really though, Like two months. I wanted to play chords and take a different approach to making music that not alot of instruments can offer exept a piano (or keyboard in my case)
What about you guys?

I started off with playing the piano with a private teacher for a year, then I went to a music 'school' where I was put in a group and we played two-levelled electrical organs with pedals. My group changed throughout the many years and finally it was just me. Then my teacher moved away from my town and I had to go back to a private teacher (at a music school though). She had a piano and I stayed with her for about a year, but when she got sacked, I had to find another teacher. She had an electrical piano. I stayed with her for almost 2 years. Then she got sacked and I graduated and went to study in a town 5h drive away. So I had to quit playing. And I haven't really played since, that was 3 years ago. It's sad, I know, but I still have my keyboard stuffed in a closet and all my notes for future wants and useages.
All in all, I played these various piano-like instruments for 9 years in total, performed at Christmas and spring-concerts (in groups and alone) and went to a number of electical organ/piano camps, which were held in the summer. I met some of my best friends there. Mm.. good times.
And the reason I started was that I quit ballet, since the teacher hated me. And my parents thought I needed another hobby. They knew my first teacher, so that was also an easy transition from dancing to playing the piano.

OMG rolleyes Another bass player. This is slowly turning into Metal bass players reign guild wink . Ha ha ha, Don't worry, I don't play metal too much, I mostly play jazz, particularly at this little bar and grill that has an open jam session. We play standards like stella by starlight, leapfrog, salt penuts and Scores more. I do play metal with my friends some times. I don't like it too much because you cant jam, and the metal they like is too dense. @ Dark Mana - you sound like a serious pro.... I wish I had alot of teachers like that. What style do you like to play the most? and have you tried playing any other instruments or are you soley a keys person?

I play the guitar. I have done for just over a year now domokun
I chose the guitar because I love it! Guitar solos, heavy riffs, melodic riffs...it's just awesome. Also, if I get an acoustic which I am hoping to soon, I will be able to take it camping n stuff which should be pretty fun

Uh, I used to play whatever my current teacher wanted me to play. I mostly played contemporary songs and melodies, but also the classics by Mozart and pals.
I've tried to play the guitar, but since my left wrist is messed up, I can't bend my hand around the neck of the guitar, which means I can't play. sad I fell over quite badly when I was a kid and the bones in my wrist healed extra thickly, so I can't bend my left wrist normally. I also can't use utensils properly. I have to keep switching the knife and fork between my hands constantly. sad

I play guitar. I like it because of it has kind of like an iconic status and that I can play all the riffs I like from my favorite songs. I'm not to good at though and I have been playing for roughly two years now. And I don't know if this counts, but I've been programming on drum machine software for 3 months now.

I can do vocals...and little bit of drums. I can keep a steady beat but my ADD kicks in an ruins it, I would better in a noise band than anything else for drums.
and I just bought a guitar, so I'll probably start teaching myself that, or take lessons. I am unsure of taking lessons or not, I guess it depends on how well I pick it up.
I am pretty good with synthesizers, but many don't agree its a real instrument or that it takes talent, but in order to be good, it takes a lot of talent trust me.

I've played guitar on and off for about 15 years now. I unfortunately have had too many "off" stretches in there, but nonetheless I'm decentish. My younger brother plays bass, and my youngest brother is a vastly superior guitarist to myself. We get a sweet little jam band this way, though. In fact, we got together and recorded a blues album for my dad as a Father's Day present this year.
