Insturments

My dad's a jazz guy. He plays in jazz bands all over, specifically FAT jazz and the Bruce James orchestra around here. But he still has his day job. I think I'll end up like that.

I want to see The Germanator in this thread.

I've been playing Alto for 7 years..and I stopped playing it as my main instrument in my 10th grade year. I started Baritone Sax then, and it has been my main instrument. It's so fun to play some of the bass parts of songs. I love how deep it is.

Try Tuba. It's taxing on the lips but the conversion is really easy. A concert Bb is on the same line in the bass clef for Tuba as it is for the Treble clef of the alto and bari's music.. so it's easy. Fingerings are easy to learn to. You want bass power, definitely try Tuba.

I'm more of a rocker, but I have played alto sax, clarinet, and the piano.

Now I play the axe (guitar), and I play keyboards. I do some synth work too, like programming and stuff. I make beats, and bass lines.

In my current band, I am the guitarist/keyboardist/vocalist. How? Well I put my guitar in drop D tuning, and hold a power chord while I do keyboard solo or something with my other hand. I use the sustain pedal to hold a keyboard chord, and start shredding on the guitar. I've been practicing this ever since last battle of the bands when my guitarists have ditched me

Yes, I know about concert Bb being the same line in bass clef for Tuba as it is for the treble clef of alto and bari, but with b's instead of #'s. The next instrument I was thinking about playing is Trombone. It looks like it's fun. I would just have to get used to playing a brass instrument.

Go for it.. that's what I started on.

These are the keyboards I play at live shows...

That's the Realistic Synthesizer by Moog...That's my favorite thing to play...You can make so many interesting sounds and such..

I also play this old cheesy Casio (A C-10 or something I believe, couldn't find a picture) Anyway, yeah, I suppose those are the instruments I play.

I don't play any of the like orchestral instruments or school band types except for when i was in grade 6 I was in the school band and I was trying to learn the tenor sax but about halfway through the year I just gave up. So all I really did was sit there and make it look like I was playing and I got a C+.
Yeah but now I play electric bass in my band. I'm taking lessons and getting better at it. In my band I am apperently singing as well so I want to see how that works out for me.
