BCF band?

[Saraya]

Noticed talk of guitars on another thread and was wondering…
What instruments do you all play?

I’m great with a recorder or tin whistle. I have a 4ft Clarsach harp that I play really badly and have strummed and picked guitars since I was 9. I play them all by ear (or tab) and recently decided to try and learn to read proper music and got a full size digital piano. I’m having great fun making a hell of a racket – but don’t think I’ll ever master it. The reading music isn’t going too well either and I resort to playing by ear.

Bass, sing, lead, keyboard, ukulele, recorder, kazoo, armpit.

I used to play bass guitar, until I realised that nobody wants to finger a bassist. True, sad story.

Six posts in and no mention of the pink oboe.

BCF, I am disappoint.

I'd be good in a wind section though.........

Electric and acoustic guitars, and used to dabble a bit with Mandolin. I've also had some success playing racked harmonica with acoustic guitar, but never really stuck with it. Bob Dylan I ain't. Mind you, he's shit on harmonica. Mind you, that doesn't say much about my playing

[MCN]

I can play cello and Piano.

Not anything you'd recognise though.

He's got a range of music he's composed up on Soundcloud.

I try to do Spanish fingerpicking on a Telecaster.

Guitar & bass guitar, dabbling in drums and keyboard.
Can cover some floyd, led zep, Radiohead to a recognisable level.

Mostly by ear, although learned a few bars of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata from YouTube but gave up when it got too tough.

Forgotten all about sheet music after playing violin badly at age 8! Almost as bad as my singing.

I may play a piano. Not sure though, never tried it...

I do have tried bass quitar. Have you listened to Deep Purple's Smoke On The Water bass for 6 hours?

None to any great level of accomplishment but started playing guitar at 18 which put me in that band environment,
but if I'm honest I always wanted to play drums, mum and dad weren't having that so guitar it was.

Once I'd bought my first house I bought a cheap drum kit and have been trying to break that with sticks ever since.
I don't pick up guitar nearly as often as i should, but a friend wants to have another go at learning to play and is
on the case acquiring a guitar, I'll get back into making a racket with that when he does. I'm very rusty but bought
some nice guitars back in the day so at least I'll be starting again with decent equipment...

[Suntan Sid]

I play guitar and sing, I do a weekly gig, at the local Kafeneion, when I'm in Cyprus.
Eric Clapton I am not!

My Dad keeps threatening to give me his bass, haven't taken up the offer as yet, I might give it a go.

I played the cornet, in a brass band, for years, although I haven't done so for a long time!
Although I can read music because I learned on a monophonic instrument, Cornet/Trumpet, I have very little grasp of music theory, as far as chords are concerned, I suppose I should learn but I CBA at the moment.
My other downfall is I can't memorise the chords or words to songs, so I need the lyrics and chords in front of me when I'm playing and singing!
