Title: What instrument do you play? (WARNING: PICS!!!!)
Post by: R0CK on August 01, 2009, 04:55:37 PM
The topic says it all.  What instrument do you play?  BFM is a pretty big clan, so I'm sure that between BFM and its guests, there ought to be lots and lots of music lovers and makers out there.  Pictures are welcome, but keep it rule-abiding.  You all already should know what I play... my siggy xD.

I would have to say that the one instrument i can actually play (out of all the ones ive tried) is the violin 
:violin:<---hehe ive allways wanted an excuse to use that smiley xD
i have a classical one simalar to the pic on the right and i had an electric one exactly like the on in the pic on the left (but sadly we sold it after i quit lessons :sad:)

piano/keyboard and guitar and I'm hoping to learn the saxophone in the future. I might post pics of my piano and keyboard when i get back home. My guitar is a pretty standard acoustic but it's been passed down through our family so kinda special.

The electric violin... I've heard of an electric cello, but not a violin.  Wow!  I think that would be a difficult instrument to learn.  Starz I'm jealous =p  I'm still working at beethoven's 5th on guitar.  It's kinda tricky in places if you want to make it sound professional.  I can't imagine what most of this classical music would sound like if the violins in the orchestra were electric!  Oo  Very cool instrument.

Bass. Bass guitar. 4-string. Never have or never will use anything other than 4-string! :Woop: ...I'm serious. :chief:

If only I had a spare $1000... Love Deans!

Well, I can play guitar(acoustic & electric, basically the same, but meh), recorder :XD:, clarinet, violin, and thats all I can think of right now :haw:. I own a $1,500 clarinet(iz quite fancy :neckbeard:) and a Fender Squire electric guitar(white). Here are a couple pics of both(not taken by me :P)

Wow skittles that's a lot of money for a wind instrument!  I'm sure you're happy with the tone it gives :drool:  My guitar cost half that much xD (well it probably comes to $1300 after you figure in the amp and other necessary equipment to go along with the guitar itself).  I wanted to learn an instrument early on, as I'm sure you learned to play clarinet in school.  That's what I wanted to learn, clarinet...  My parents wouldn't spend the money for me to get an instrument when I was in gradeschool, so I had to save up my own money for whatever I wanted... and I only got my guitar a little over a year ago now!

pssst why hasnt' Fender posted yet?  He probably plays trombone or piano or something anyway...   :LOL:

It sounds SO much better than the one that I had. It was a plastic one rented from the school(I started playing back in 6th grade), and we finished paying it off. Once I hit high school, we decided that I needed to upgrade to a better clarinet. So we went with that one, and flat out bought it. It's wood, and silver. Iz quite shiny :neckbeard:

Here are a few pics of my ESP V-500 electric guitar with dual EMG-81 active humbucking pickups (same pickups Kirk Hammett prefers, but this is not a KH model).  The named guitars tend to be more expensive simply because they have the name of a famous person.. I figure that I got a better deal if I went this route, and I'm not disappointed after over a year!  =D

note: skittles I think you're going to be happy.. my guitar is very shiny and its surface is mirror-like... I can see myself in it.  I would have taken a picture to show that, but BFM would remove the pictures x.x

Post by: R0CK on August 02, 2009, 01:20:18 AM
Skittles I recommend the heavy 1.00 mm picks.  I sometimes switch to nylon .60mm ones because I really don't care about my .60's and I pretty much just beat the crap out of those for fun.

My favorite picks:  Fender 1.00 mm heavy shell picks
As you can see, they're also very pretty.  They're pretty much solid black when there isn't much light.  If you shine light through them, the red lava patten shows.  R0CKs!!

I'm jealous too Starz. I played the violin when I was littler. I idolised Vanessa Mae (http://www.youtube.com/v/kTZ2NXtD-AU&rel=0) and was really excited to see Escala (http://www.youtube.com/v/6pDTMYPFmtE&rel=0) in Britain's Got Talent last year. I love this kind of music.

from about 2nd grade to about...um...2 years ago, I played the piano.  I quit after a while, because the person we were paying for my lessons wasn't actually teaching me anything...
I've been playing the cello since about 3rd grade, though, and I'm a senior in high school now, so...yeah.  It's lots of fun.
I'm thinking of taking up singing soon, as well.

I play a LAG Arkane M100 (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0f/LAG_Arkane_AF200_BSH.JPG/800px-LAG_Arkane_AF200_BSH.JPG); have been playing for almost three years now, and have reached Grade 7(ish). I've largely taught myself; my lessons (started in January of this year) have more been 'How to Play Jazz' than 'How to Play Guitar'. I play a lot of styles, from Metal to Jazz, from Rock to Classical(ish). I play over vent quite a lot, earning me 'BFMs Live Radio' status...

lol yeah its pretty cool, shivrz would get annoyed when i practiced so i could plug in some head phones to the electric one and everyone around me could barely hear me! :D then i could ajust the volume and stuff (had an awesome amp to plug it into :D)
it was great while i had it but i bought i with my own money and lost intrest with the electric one quickly (harder to play than the classical one :P) then sold it after a few months

The Euphonium is my main instrument, but I can play any other brass instrument as well. My ability to play a woodwind instrument is limited, but I can play at least 4 major scales on each. For non-wind instruments, I can play the piano and the drums quite well, and I can manage a little on the violin :D
