Do You Play an Instrument? (everyone vote)

[Fractured]

I have played guitar for almost 15 years.
I'm okay at drums. =/

 

[Fallen]

Guitar - 3years

I can play bass due to the knowledge and skills i've learnt from learning guitar.

and i really enjoy playing drums, whether i play them good is another thing all together.

 

[Fifth_Horseman]

I play:
piano (13 years, took lessons for the first 11 years),
guitar (2 years),
and I was in a semi-professional chorus for 8 years but stopped some years ago.

Yeah right.... I am a bassist I can play bass better than any of you guitarists. You may not need us, but compare the bass on Morningrise to My Arms Your Hearse for example. And Mikael played bass on MAYH.

[Opeth V]

I am a guitarist.

I was actually into Opeth before I started playing guitar. Although, who here honestly doesn't appreciate their musicianship? That is what makes Opeth a great band. Unlike so many other bands out there, Opeth is a band that is trying to push the boundaries of music.

 

[Dvoters]

Bass, piano, trying to learn guitar, but isnt going to good because of the lack of guitar


\m/

 

[YaYo]

Guitar - 12 yrs?

And i think its more general, its metal that attracts musicians because it is largely music based. Whereas a lot of other genres are vocal based.

 

[Olórin]

Yeah I play with myself.....

(I mean I sing!!!!)

 

[no country for old wainds]

I play piano.

 

[NAD]

Bass - 11 years
Guitar - mostly knowledge gleaned from playing bass
Drums - have fooled around with them for a few years, getting an actual drumset tomorrow so I can learn.
Clarinet - played it for years, but haven't touched it in a long time.

HA! Only because you have shitty bassists.

 

[veil the sky]

four strings
you've only got four strings
you've only got four strings

 

[Opet]

Damn, the cheese stands alone. I saw one other person say they don't play an instrument. I don't. I was hoping to see proof there was an equal amount of both sides.

After reading the comments, I have to admit to myself if you love great music, why wouldn't you try to make something equally amazing yourself.

Good question, david411.

So, what do you think? Are all the musicians in this part of the Opeth forum and all the non-musicians in the Off Topic section?
