what do you play?
Stifled Dreams:
I am the best oboe player ever. Not kidding. I'll challenge anyone here to an oboe-duel.
Alright, so maybe I'm not the best player ever, but it is actually something that I'm pretty good at.
I also play some guitar, and I have very limited abilities in piano.
--- Quote from: La Creme ---Also, I forgot to mension, I can get a bit of sound out of my brother's musical saw. He can play "Where is my Mind". On a fucking saw. He kicks your ass for that.

In elementary school, I remember that for a play one year some kids did The Wizard of Oz. One teacher played "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" on a saw. It was weird.

I am a rather skilled percussionist. Aparently, I am a master of time-keeping. I don't have much practice with the drum set, but I can play the secondary percussion instruments and kick out nice snare beats. :P
I'm starting to learn guitar. So far I've been dicking around on my acoustic guitar that I found in my grandparents attic. I think I may need to take lessons in order to become really good. So far I only know a handful of chords, but I can improvise, like with most instruments.
I can improvise nice, pretty parts on a piano as well. It's another percussion instrument, but it is played much differently, as most know. I can't jam out and go jazzy on the thing, but I can create some nice, simple arrangements. I guess I'm a "most effect with least notes" kind of guy. :P
Oh, and did someone say that "emo" itself is a negatively-descriptive adjective? You need to listen to some Rites of Spring, Embrace, and Nation of Ulysses.

Oh God, isn't it wonderful having natural rhythm? It's something that you just have or you don't and you can't teach to anyone, and it just makes you such a better musician...

--- Quote from: Switchblade ---It also occurs to me that I'd LOVE to take up Clarinet. That has to be one of the most rockin' instruments ever.

It also has one of the greatest ranges of possible sounds (not actual notes), which can make one song really interesting.
Damn, all this talk is making me think about picking it up again. I was never all that good though.

I'm just really lucky, I guess.
