What instrument do you also play?

i can play simple piano (i learnt myself by listening and playing back the Spirited Away soundtrack)

I can drum a little bit, not advanced, but a little

And I played trombone for a couple years in school, I was good at it, but didnt really enjoy it that much

i keep trying to learn guitar/bass, but my stupid fingers wont do what i want them to

And no, not what everyone does in 3rd grade. I've been playing for like 9 years...

Still haven't used it in any songs yet.

do you play baroque stuff and such?

Yeah, I do classical and baroque and all, Telemann, Vivaldi, and whatnot.
I also play some contemporary pieces, some are pretty weird. I'm currently learning a pice written for 10 tenor recorders...Nobody writes ANYTHING for 10 of the same instrument (where each part is unique, i.e. not a marching band or whatever), let alone for tenor recorder.

I can play hot cross buns on my recorder...does that count?

Not quite...

Recorded this just now, I've been meaning to, but never got around to it till now. It's kinda sloppy, I was too lazy to do more than a few takes to get it perfect, and I haven't played this piece in a while...
I hate c minor, the 3 flats can be killer.

RECORDER SKILLZ

(ignore the crap quality video and bad camera angle)
edit: Wow, the forum censors "c rap"?

Awwww bummer.

Nice recorder skillz though...much respect. My hero, Dwight Schrute plays the recorder too.

thats super awesome recorder skills you got mang! sounded like more than 1 was playing at a time

and if you go into the control panel you can uncensor the curse filter.

Keyboard, Electric Guitar (Thank you Rocksmith!!!), Acoustic Guitar, and Electric Bass. I played violin back in the day but not in the last 14 years. I also tried trumpet once. No bueno.

I hope you are joking...


if you were being serious, then I'll spoil your amazement by saying that it's 2 recordings... the recorder can play very few chords.

cool, i used to play soprano and alto recorder
glad i switched to trumpet though.. i hate that playing louder on a recorder means having **** up intonation

I play violin, piano and a couple of brass instruments (baritone/euph and bass trombone). All these at semi-pro to pro (when I actually practice).

As well as a bit of guitar...as in I can throw a few chords together...

wow, that first and last video... BADASS!! how well do you play?

im guessing your iranian: ever since i read 'persepolis', i wanted to visit iran, but the government dissuades it... do you think it should do it anyway?

AntonPD wrote:wow, that first and last video... BADASS!! how well do you play?

Thanks. Not as well these guys, or rather NO way as close they're masters (apart from the young chap on Santur). Wrote an album with Setar (in recording process). Been playing Santur for 3 years. Though I mainly play my own songs. Also able to tune the instruments.

Sure am. Persepolis was cool. You should visit Persepolis, loads of tourists in Shiraz city (Fars province).

Na its all good. US govt tends to hype things up. I would only say that you'd enjoy yourself a WHOLE lot more if you had friends over there.

I'm a Londoner. Otherwise would have invited you already

haha ill take invites to london too nah, visiting iran is on the to do list, but im not going soon though. i hope greed wont destroy this country.

is Santur a chord instrument?

Ha! Let me know when you do decide to visit, Iran or UK.

Greed is the problem everywhere.

It is, you can play any 2 notes simultaneously across the board, or 4 notes with restricted palette of notes.
