Guitar and Bass. I haven't got round to playing the guitar that much because I'm really into the bass now. By the way the bass can be very easy to play such the bass lines to AC/DC songs or Van Halen songs, an intermediate level such Rage Against the Machine, reasonably difficult such as The Who and some Cream, or insanely hard such as Flea, Jaco Pastorius

I play violin, some piano, and can play tabs for guitar. Songs like toxicity and stairway to heaven.

I used to do boring piano and stuff. Boooooo!

why not try a wind instrument? e.g. saxaphone, trumpet, clarinet, flute, tuba, etc...

or, a different percussion: drums kit, xylophone, to name a few...
I've started playing the harmonica now. It's so much fun but quite dizzy with breathing, but I guess I'm getting the hang of it I suppose.

I'm not so good with coordination with percussion. Looks a bit tricky but then again I haven't really sat down and tried to play other than muck around.

Haha I'm not good at it yet, but sounds pretty sweet.

I also want to try out the Moog synthesizers, a couple of friends are in bands and I like to muck around with theirs while their not looking. Seems like a lot of fun as well but looks like a hefty price to pay for one. I wouldn't know if they were considered to be actual instruments though but half of it is an organ/keyboard/piano structure and been used by the likes of Rush, The Police and Yngwie Malmsteen so I guess you could say so.

What are people's thoughts on electronic instruments?

I'm currently attempting my A.Mus.A. at piano. Would like to do a degree at the Con after my current degree :tongue: :) I can sing and play the violin too--stopped at Grade 2 however due to an extremely short pinkie which limits how many pieces I can play.
