Still very curious about the demographics of Lemmy :3
I’m good enough at guitar to do it professionally. Not my only job but part of my income is playing as a hired gun for local acts and artists touring the region. I play mostly country, a lot of chicken-pickin, bending style telecaster stuff. Been at it over 25 years.
Proficient at mayonnaise and okay at the gun.
Piano Flute Saxophones Bassoon Melodic percussion
Strongest on piano. I have dabbled a bit with accordion since a relative has one, beautiful instrument.
I can play some Zelda songs on the piano, not very well, but I enjoy it
I play and teach bass for a living. Been playing for over 12 years and making my own tunes on the side.
Vocal Cords, expert
Woodwinds: (Flute, Bass Flute, Piccolo, Clarinet, Bass Clarinet, Saxophone, Bari-Sax, Pan Pipes) Journeyman to Expert
Strings: (Violin, Viola, Cello, Bass) Journeyman
Brass: (Trumpet, Trombone, French Horn, Tuba, Sousaphone, Cornet, Bugle) Apprentice to Journeyman
Percussion: Apprentice
Piano: Beginner, though I took lessons when I was 3-6, and I can sit and make it sound good, just can’t play sheet music with one.
Guitar: Bass and Rhythm guitar: Apprentice. Can’t do lead, chords mess with my fingers.
I’ve been playing instruments and singing my whole life.
Oh, technically I can play a recorder, but I hate that thing.
I can also “play” a didgeridoo, as in get consistent sound out of the thing. If there is more of a mastery than that, I don’t know.
bass (pretty good), gitfidle (ok’ish), piano (beginner, but I can sorta play ‘something I can never’ have by NIN. :))
Vocal Chords: Expert
Ocarina: Pretty good.
Harmonica: Decent.
Piano: Amateur.
Guitar: I can pluck strings and make it go “twang!”
I’m decent at mayonnaise.
I’m a serious skin flutist. I play mine like a seasoned master of the highest order.
I started learning violin almost 3 years ago. I take lessons. I still suck a lot but I keep going because I do enjoy learning, even if it’s often frustrating. I have absolutely no musical background and was actively encouraged not to pursue an instrument when I was young because of the expense, so I guess it’s also a way to reclaim my childhood.
I play every instrument but very badly
im pressive
Modular synths for me. I built a “Synthcase” out of an old antique suitcase in 2025. Now I’m learning to tease signal from noise.

How do you even
At 9 I played violin.
I played guitar for 20 years (started at 10) in a somewhat successful few metal/hardcore/screamo bands.
I sang with some of the bands. I picked up bass and piano along the way. Can kinda play drums. Basic beats and understand most of the connections.
If I was to do it all again I would play bass. Probably the most intuitive for me. But it’s hard to say that the others didn’t lead to bass just seeming natural. But it was fun.
Wow, that’s a one-man band even if you’re not as skilled at everything, congratulations!
That was actually my last project. I did an industrial kind of thing where it was all me. But it didn’t go anywhere and I had done it for 20 years. I had enough time to walk away. Plus then my son was born and jumping from city to city just wouldn’t be responsible.
Guitar. Been playing for close to 35 years now, and I’m half decent. I also play bass, but I consider myself a beginner.
And I was pretty good at trumpet when I was a kid, but I haven’t played since I was 16.
What kind of guitar? Answer carefully.
Several. A Montana acoustic, an Ibanez electric, a Yamaha electric, and a Jackson electric.
You have answered INCORRECTLY!!!
A Mexican Fender Tele?
Closer.
I don’t remember if it was a telecaster or a stratocaster, but I do remember that it had a heat of chrome and a voice like a horny angel!
anyone can play bass! nobody can be good at bass unless you’re one of those guys
claypool, wooten, etc lolol
just kidding
anyways wanna start a ska band?
The first part of starting a ska band is having difficulties keeping a band together, so naturally I would have to say No.
fuck yeah I’ll see you at 6!
