I got a music challenge by my fianceè

[Terry Sampson]

A strumstick will make my feet tap.

[Stanyon]

Play guitar from time to time old blues and slide, it's what I grew up listening to and taught myself by ear imitating the sounds. Can't read music and I probably have created enough bad habits over the years that would probably make me unteachable from a pro. Also play Native American flute which I also learned by ear, easy to play but the secret to great playing is the nuances.

 

[Windwalker]

My wife made me give my flute away...it was probably for the best.

I'm assuming you screeched the high notes once too many?

I thought one clear note every 3-6 months was doing good....evidently I was wrong.

 

[Estro Felino]

Yes, flute...but I have little time.
I love playing Braveheart theme

 

[leov]

Already have a guitar

Steel or nylon strings? Make sure it properly set up - it would save a lot of pain.

It is a steel-string guitar (Morgan) And yes I delivered it to a music store for upgrade and fine-tune today. So it will be good
Price for it when it was new was 5000 Norwegian Kroner (560 USD)

Cool! As long as comfy with the size which you will know in a while.

 

[Evangelicalhumanist]

My fianceè is learning to play Ukulele and today she challenged me to learn how to play Acoustic Guitar
I do play flute already, but to learn a totally new instrument will take a long time

Do you play an instrument?

Piano.

Would love to play it better, but can manage some almost reasonable Beethoven, Brahms, Gottschalk, Scott Joplin, Debussy, Eric Satie and (improbably, and less competently) Liszt and Chopin.

 

[Twilight Hue]

I have tried to learn guitar (acoustic, electric and bass) without success
I have tried to learn piano without success
I have had a go on drums and failed miserably
I have tried to master saxophone, again no success.
I once took a singing lesson, i got as far as "doh, ray, m..." before being asked to leave.

It seems i am totally tone deaf, have fingers that tie themselves in knots and am missing my rhythm.

My cats bring the expert critics that they are run and hide whenever i sing along to the radio.

Look on the bright side. There's always the kazoo.

 

[Twilight Hue]

I can play the piano as well as .....

I would rather not, i respect my neighbours

 

[Wu Wei]

Do you play an instrument?

I played the guitar for years, and then one day, I just stopped... still have a steal string acoustic, my classical guitar and my first electric. But I sold a couple when I quit, years later I discovered how much the guy who bought my Guild electric ripped me off.
Decided to take up the electric bass, bought one, played it for a week and stopped, still have that too.
I played the Mandolin and also appear to have stopped that as well. Still have it, but it is broken. I am considering buying a new one
I played, and still toy with, the Ukulele
I play the didgeridoo

My ex plays bass, he has (among others) an Epiphone casino from 1968.

With that guitar i honestly did not sound complely awful, is essentially played itself.

There no other sound in the world like my six year old grandson playing "Hendrix" on a didgeridoo....just sayin'.

My main reasons for playing the didgeridoo are
1) its fun
2) it confuses the neighbors

But they sometimes attract dingos, so small pets should be secured when playing.
