[Archive] Musicians?

AGPO:

How many musicians do we have here? I myself play bass guitar (well) double bass and keys (not so well) and am planning to take up trumpet over the summer (I have three months holiday). Mostly I play solo bass but 've jammed in a few skit bands and played a few pubs, nothing recorded. I love soul, jazz (all kinds) and funk/funk rock. Main influences Flea and Jaco Pastorus (obviously)

Anyone else? What stuff do you like playing? Are you in a band, and if so are you gigging/recording? Who are your influences? Be interesting to find out.

Ingrown:

I play drums, bass guitar (not greatly) and a vague array of brass in either bad classical or ska. Been in and out of a few bands, which mainly revolve around me and the same bassist with different people

Canix:

I play didgeridoo and trumpet and a bit of guitar,didgeridoo mainly at the moment with friends in various jamming bands :hat

Theory_Man:

I play the trumpet mostly in community bands, and wind ensembles orchestras at college. I have also played in jazz bands small ensemble and some solo work with a piano.

I can also play the piano but nowhere near a performance level.

Vexxus:

Ancient History:

Minoring in electronic music. Which basically means I can’t play anything, but I can compose fine.

Though one might argue that a banjo never sounds good hehe

Narflung:

Ohhhhh man! >_< I've wanted to do this for years.
My mum used to do it -and she still has all the equipment- but it's been stored away for ages now, and it's like... 10 years out of date for today's standards. XD
I play didgeridoo
Hahaha AWESOME! *high fives* XD

Myself- I don't play anything. -_-;;
But I REALLY want to make electronic stuff with the keyboard and synthesisers and stuff. *sniffles*

bow_for_hashut:

I play bass guitar in a death metal band (the correct term is “heavy death metal with black metal influences”) check us out @ Metalized (getmetalized) on Myspace

we’re coming out with a new demo within days!!!

AGPO:

Please note, a guitarist who goes “a bass is just a four string guitar, how hard can it be?” CANNOT ALSO CALL THEMSELVES A BASS PLAYER and if they try they will be fed to the boar centaurs

No, not really. There are those who prefer the legit route rather than the jazz one. I can't see why anyone would do that, but whatever. Some people just don't like jazz. I for one absolutely adore it.
