Play any instruments? *would you like to? (if you don't) (bass, jimi hendrix)

I play the keyboard decently, but my strong suit is singing. I have no idea why the first poster said keyboards suck, though it seems he is quite the ignoramus to make such a statement.

I had wanted to play the guitar, but my hands are so large that my finger joints hurt to play, and each of my fingers usually pressed against two (sometimes 3) strings at the same time instead of 1. The bass, upright bass, or cello would probably suit my fingers better. I would like to learn bass or cello, the harp (maybe), the drums (which I have a little experience with), and either the flute or saxophone, but only after I have polished my keyboarding skills to my liking.

I play the vocal cords. :P And keyboard too. Man there is so much talent here it's a little intimidating... I'm virtually the only musician in this little backwater town so I'm not used to meeting many other musicians.

Alot of great guitarists had huge hands like Jimi Hendrix

I've been playing bass since I was 14. I did sold all my basses about two years ago, to buy me a double bass. Some piece of art made in Slowakia about 70 years ago.
Only electric bass I still have is my 'splendid' Ibanez Roadstar II-series, wich is getting a paintjob at the moment.

Next to that, I play nothing else, although I always dreamed about accordion and trumpet...

Accordion is the best !

Piano, Guitar, Drums, Vocals, Trumpet.

5 Years of Piano Lessons.

1 year of guitar. (CURRENTLY IN GUITAR)

Never took druming lessons but I can keep an okay beat.

Took 8 months of vocal lessons.

Piano, Guitar, Saxophone.

I'm not so good at piano anymore, though. I gave it up for guitar, and now I can't remember half of the pieces I played, and have a hard time trying to learn new ones. Oh well, I'd rather play guitar. I play Saxophone as well for band. It's a sweet-ass instrument, and not too, too complex.

I'm one of the few that play bass.

cause your gay, but anyways having big hands allows you to use your thumb to mute the strings and in my opinion its alot easier to hold the neck

Update: I know it was only a few weeks ago or something when I posted on here but I'm much better with the guitar now. I can even finally make my own songs without wanting to delete them a few days later. Ironically now I'm having trouble vocally which I was good at before I started practicing guitar.
