    Of all things I would like to learn piano. I browsed the forums and saw you play guitar. Very cool.

    I watched a vid a few nights ago, a very enthusiastic and talented lady was playing two skin flutes at once.

    Now that was interesting.

    I'm a guitar player, singer, song writer. Out of necessity, I learned to play the bass, the drums, the keys, the pedal steel, mandolin, fiddle, and congas for recording. My recordings are all trial and error....lots of error. Here's how they came out......

    Harmonica and Guitar.

    Does vocals count? I suppose they would.

    As of right now I'm learning to play the guitar and I might hire a teacher for guitar lessons since I'm a beginner at it. I've had someone offer to give me guitar lessons over Skype but it never worked out and haven't heard back from them. Before guitar I played the bass guitar and I had lots of fun with it.

    What are you like on the piano. A lot of people do not realize that it is a percussion instrument, since hammers hit the strings. LOL.

    In my college days, I played the violin in the orchestra. A difficult instrument because without frets, you need a perfect ear for tone. Today I only play the piano, so simple because you just press a button and the note comes out. All you need to do is press them in the right order without getting your fingers knotted together.

    I began with piano , and now having lived a long time have mastered a few others . All require perfect pitch , for
    this is what you think with . Play an extreme out-of-tune piano with grace and this will be discovered .

    I play the guitar, drums, percussion, harmonica, wooden recorder, and I do subtle things with keyboard.

    Lately I've also been training my voice more seriously as well.

    I play guitar, bass, and violin. I can play mandolin but don't own one. I find them all similar in their standard tuning. The bass being the same as the four lower strings of the guitar EADG. The violin and mandolin being the same four but flipped with G being the low string GDAE. I'm more proficient on guitar but can play the others with friends and not destroy the music. Music really does make the world a better place!

    I've got congas and a piano at the house also. Congas I can keep a beat with. Piano I can tinker with but not really play.

    Mainly piano and guitar much less. However, I began as a drummer but more or less gave it up when I had my first stint in the navy a few years after high school. My brother took over my drums and subsequently became a tympanist with a symphony. Dad and I loved drum solos (Buddy rich, Krupa, Lionel Hampton, Louis Bellson) but once the kid was educated he would just curl the lip and say he didn't do jazz any more - only classical

    I play guitar, bass, and a bit of drums. I tried learning piano, but it just didn't take.
