    That would certainly be sweet if you picked up the sitar.

    I forgot to mention I also play Harmonica. As lame as it sounds, I'd like to pick up a cheap banjo and learn it.

    if by "play" you also mean "occasionally attempt to do a tune and fail misrably, spending the next 30 mins prating around with the drum section making a racket then put away for a few months and forget about it" then i play the keyboard.

    I mostly play piano, but I also played Baratone, French horn, and Percussion instruments when I was in band. I'm currently trying to play the accoustic guitar when I have time.

    I'd like to learn to play the recorder, violin, banjo(YEA-Ah! :P ), and the Bag Pipes(also YEA-Ah! :P ).

    I can play 2 songs on the piano/keyboard, does that count? I can play mary had a little lamb and the tune that Yosemite Sam wanted Bugs Bunny to play when they were both running for Mayor, and the piano explodes because Sam had the piano rigged to explode when a key was pressed.
    You're Abe Froman? The Sausage King of Chicago??

    Yep, that's me.

    My Stuff
    Guitars/Bass - I build most of my own, and customize them all; Custom Squier/DiMarzio/Arbor Strat Mutt, 96' Fender Jag-Stang w/ EMG pickups, 97' Fender Jaguar w/ SD Cool Rails, 2 Kramer Focus 3000s - one custom, one stock, a Yamaha gut string classical, Rogue beginners electric, red/black/chrome Explorer copy consisting of Kramer/Arbor/aftermarket parts, Explorer copy with a prototype whammy bar system I made, B.C.

    Oh, and I forgot, I also mess around with Harmonicas, Pitch Pipes, Yack-Back toys, and Kazoos from time to time too. And no, I'm not kidding, I really do play all this stuff, however, I never seem to have it all on me at any given time.

    I played a few things. Currently I'm working on electric guitar, been at it just over a year. some of the other things I've played are:
    -Tennor sax (by far my favourite, I'm gonna have to get me one of them)
    -Drum kit (Geek without a band!)
    -Snare Drum (Whee band geek!)
    -Clarrinet (Hated it with a passion)
    -Harmonica (more like brutally maimed whatever I TRIED to play on it)
    -Cymbols (A great stress relief, just bash those babies together!)

    Edit: Duh. Keyboard and piano.

    I play the recorder! :D

    For the past five years I've been an amateur at playing guitar... yes I am a slow learner :wink: Actually I've just been pretty lazy about it, but I'm trying to get my hands on an acoustic. I'm not sure if I still can but I can play "Seven Nation Army" by White Stripes. Which is probably nothin compared to everyone else :shock: but it makes me feel coooooool AND I CAN PLAY WHEN THE SAINTS GO MARCHING IN OOOOO YOU DIDN'T SEE THAT COMIN DID YA :twisted::twisted::twisted::oops:... My goal is to one day be able to play Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody". If one day I play Children of Bodom or Joe Satriani like a piece of cake I will be entirely amazed outta my mind :shock:

    I've played drums for about 24 years, guitar for almost the same, and bass for about 11 or 12. I've always been the guy that fills in wherever someone needs an instrument. My ma was a band teacher, so first she needed a bass clarinet, then a drummer, so that's what I played. Thank God she didn't need the bass clarinet anymore! It's hard to pick up chicks w/ those things! :lol: I was gonna post a pic, but it's hard to get a cool drum pick, unless you're just wailing, and even then, you gotta catch it at just the right time. I already posted a bass pick from a few years ago on the "Show Yourself, Damnit" thread.
