Play any instruments? *would you like to? (if you don't)

Lorenzo L. · 12-31-2016, 07:02 PM

I play guitar and sing

pauldoon · 01-17-2017, 01:55 PM

Guitar, bass, drums, keyboard/piano, harmonica and sing. I'd love to learn the violin or something like that but don't think I have the patience to start from scratch with it

Drums atm

I just started playing the Ukulele. Over the past year, art, music, and literature has turned into forms of oxygen for me.

I am not very "good" at playing the uke yet, but I'm working everyday at it and will improve. I feel so at peace when I play.

In a month or so I will buy a piano (used to play as a kid).

Being the untalented blob that I am, no, but I'd like to learn the banjo, maybe the lyre (partly just for the drama of being able to wander around with a lyre) or harp, the accordion, and the santoor (pretty much all varieties of the dulcimer).

If you learn the banjo we'll start an Americana group if I move to Austin

Banjos and accordions are fun as hell and relatively easy to learn if you have experience with playing stringed or keyed instruments. The dulcimer type instruments are also awesome and really fun but be warned that they run the risk of lack of variation with the fret placement. Of course, like anything you can become a G at that instrument.

I feel like I am obsessive enough by nature to be able to learn whatever. Hopefully. Accordions and banjos do look like a lot of fun. It seems the cheapest santoors are $300, which seems reasonable enough (However I still have no clue what instrument I should start with; I will have to research more)

We all should just move to Austin already!
I would love to be in a doom-folk band, personally.

Oh, and since you like Red House Painters, I feel I should mention this somewhat embarrassing factoid: I once recorded a toy piano cover (because a regular piano would not have sounded pitiful enough, I guess) of Mistress and put it on the internet. Actually there were two toy pianos (and ghostly layered vocals) involved. Thankfully it's long gone!

:O doom-folk you say??? That sounds ****in rad

Lmao I'd kinda like to hear that, sounds interesting. Maybe I could record my own toy piano cover...

:0 You should! The public simply demands toy piano covers of Red House Painters songs.

Any yes, either doom folk or a 1950s rockabilly halloween-themed band (which only plays covers of obscure and unpopular halloween songs of yore) !
