TheDevilAside Posted September 9, 2004 Posted September 9, 2004 Oh yeah, and I used to play the recorder for about 8 years, hehe. School forced me to. Parents forced me to play Clarinet as well. Same with Piano. I was pretty much forced into being musical. "If you're going through hell, keep going." - Sir Winston Churchill
Kicks Posted September 10, 2004 Posted September 10, 2004 (edited) I quite fancy learning guitar though!I found the guitar one of the easiest instruments to learn to play, but one of the harder ones to learn to play well. Years ago I played guitar in a couple of bands. Now I'm teaching my daughter. I also play harmonica (somewhat). I play the radio all the time.

aefibird Posted September 10, 2004 Posted September 10, 2004 Piano - 18 years Flute - 15 years Piccolo - 15 years Clarinet - 12 years Bass guitar - 5 years Saxophone - 3 years They're all the instruments I still play (although, not at the same time - now that would be a good party trick!) Here's one I no longer play... Recorder - 5 years (I was a proud member of my Junior School Recorder Band! ) If I ever got the time to study it properly I'd love to learn to play the harp. I'd also like to learn to play the guitar. I can play bass guitar, but I've never tried a 6-stringer. "Was it really worth it? Only time and death may ever tell..."
