Musicians' Corner
« on: November 24, 2007, 21:29:42 »
So... any of you guys play any instruments?

I play mainly bass guitar and a bit of guitar too.  I started off playing classical and Spanish guitar when I was a kid. I got an electric guitar when I was about 16 but lost my way with it, and I was too preoccupied playing rugby at that point, before I got injured and had to quit.  A couple of my mates got a band together and were looking for a bass player - they knew I played classical guitar and wanted a finger-style bassist so they came round with a bass and said 'try this' and I was hooked.  I've been in loads of bands and written loads of music of my own and with others. I've just got into a band playing rock cover tunes and a sprinkling of original stuff, which should be good fun as I haven't gigged in years.   :rockon

Anybody else?

I play guitar and keyboards. Not in a band, just at home for personal entertainment/de-stressing!

Yep, totally! It's definitely great therapy isn't it.   O0

I play bass in The People's Alibi (www.myspace.com/the peoplesalibi - still with the old line-up), have played folk, country, blues rock, trash metal.  :D

A lot of people don't realise how close metal and blues are in terms of technique. But I have to say that's a pretty eclectic mix!

That's me, I'll play with people I like, not (only) the music I like!
