I figure since everybody is a creative bunch, some of you must play instruments.This thread will be a place to talk about what instrument you play, how long you've played, why you play, and even for those who might do the occasional show. You can talk about the different gear you own, or wish to own. What musicians influence your style and what not.

You can even talk about horrible experiences either in bands, band, solo performances, or orchestra.

I play a handful of different instruments, some I'm good at, others I am horrible at. Guitar has been my main instrument, and I play harmonica, trumpet, sing.

I took up trumpet, because my Junior High band wouldn't allow guitars. Fast forward 2 years to High School, and they had 3 guitarists, go figure. I never got good at trumpet though, I could play simple songs, and that was it.
