    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

        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.
