Jonathan Chance, “Yamaha classical. I stick with the steel strings regardless of the blood.” (note, corrected a typo)
Please tell me that you don’t put steel strings on a classical guitar! I got shivers all up and down my spine when I read that. That is bad. BAD! BAD! BAD! BAD! BAD! Never, ever put steel strings on a classical guitar. Not even if your granny went to her death bed telling you she would never love you again.
Back on topic. Classical Guitarist, Lutist, Recorder player, bongo player, pianist (albeit not very good), singer, shawm player, and pretty much every other instrument to some degree (even the didjeridoo). Oh, I left out composer.
Fine, I’ll just whip out my Fender Precision 4-string Electric Bass guitar. Turn the volume way up on the amp, and pump out some eclectic grooves to win this brawl.
silent_rob starts playing Tower of Power’s What is Hip?, some Primus with Devil Went Down to Georgia, Kool & The Gang’s Jungle Boogie, some Red Hot Chili Peppers, and some Sly and the Family Stone.
Double-ha! HA HA HA!!! I spit on your “I am an elephant in heat” instruments! I throw both you and your hellish noisemakers in the case of my upright grand and then I nail down the lid! And then I play some of Rachmaninoff’s loud, thundering chords! And I do not stop, ever!!!
Now wacky and I are going to go make some REAL music. sniff
Well then . . . I can drum. But my real talents are playing music on various parts of my body.
Yes, I sing . . . but I also play music on my throat, cheeks (face) and head by flicking them. In the case of my head, I knock it with my knuckles. I suppose I’ll have to demonstrate this at a future dopefest.
As for my singing, I can go anywhere from tenor (a bit of bass, but I can’t do true bass) to soprano I (falsetto, which I suppose doesn’t count, but it hasn’t yet bothered the music groups I’ve been in).
Well, I can play the flute, but I since my sister and I shared the flute she now has it. She’s older so it was hers first. :rolleyes: At least I think I could still finger the notes. I know I still have the proper mouth technique. I play straws and bottles all the time. My kids think I’m a genius.
I think my real ability lies in back-up singing though. No one else thinks so.
I can play backwards, upside down, with my tongue, fast, slow. Can make my guitar talk…(hey, how ya doing?), improvise,… No but really there is little I can’t do with the guitar…I’ve spent the past 8 years of my life worshiping it day and night. I have acquired my own style and can play with the best of 'em. I have many guitars but aside from my trusty Strat, my fav. would have to be my customized Musicman.
Umm, I wrote a slow peaceful ditty for Wally…It’s the only piece of music I have online right now:
Step back, y’all! I’ve got a banjo and I’m not afraid to use it! There’s 2 good things about a banjo - it’s nice and heavy; and when I whack somebody upside the head with it, it sounds like the second riff from “Cripple Creek”.
Whadya mean, “Do I ever tune this thing?”. Hell, no. I bought it in tune!
Well…here are my instruments:
One Piano
Two alto saxes
One Bassoon
One Harmonica
One Tambourine
One Alto Recorder
One Acoustic Guitar
One Set of Maracas
I think that’s all I have for now.
Is the conductor thread the only place we’re gonna fight or what? All we got in here is “Check out what I play”. Where are the insulting jokes? Where are the barbs spiked with the wit of years of playing experience?
Where’s the fucking BLOODSHED, for fuck’s sake?!
Or is it maybe we’re just listing our armaments for when the hockey game breaks out? Altho’ having a lutist and shawm player here is pretty cool.
Me? I got two fiddles, a mandolin, and a banjo (Mrs. O’s, but she never plays it. Anyone recommend any good clawhammer technique books?). As I said in the conductor thread, I’m not afraid to use ‘em either. I used to play piano and trombone and am inflicting music theory on myself so I can pretend I know somethin’ around here.
iampunha, any idiot can sing. Hence such abominations as N’Suck and Backdoor Boyz. Come back to the brawl when you’ve learned to play something.
missbunny ROTFLMAO “I am an elephant in heat” instruments. That’s the kind of stuff I was looking for in here!
I notice there don’t seem to be any viola players in here. Typical; they’re probably all on the other side of the door 'cos they don’t know an entrance when they see one.
Hello, friend, did you not see where I wrote “I can drum” or where I listed my musical body parts?
And not every idiot can sing. Hence such abominations as you listed, where some of the members are in because they can look cute and dance, but they can’t sing well.
