You must be (Instru)Mental!

Following on from several threads lately, what instruments do you play, or want to play?

I bought a guitar several years ago, just a cheap acoustic one. Messed around with it for a while, but the final year of college hit and the guitar got thrown into the back of the wardrobe. Should have taken it back out in the months I was unemployed, but never crossed my mind.

Now, where I'm currently living, picking up the acoustic again regularly is pretty much a no-go due to noise. So my current thinking is to get an electric guitar, and if it's possible (because I know very little about this sort of thing), use headphones while learning to play it which means no noise.

Now Doc said it's best to learn acoustic first, to ease the transition between the two. But I just don't see that as a possibility yet. So next thing is, to get an electric guitar. Due to money (and the fact that learning to play guitar must come second to trying to lose weight), I'm probably just going to get a cheapo one. But this is all hypothetical for now. Probably be another 2 months before any of this comes to fruition.

Also, at some point, I'd love to learn the harmonica.

What about all of ye? I know a lot of you play instruments. What do you play? What would you like to play?

Also, at one point, I think I could play this. I went to band classes for a while (This one time, at band camp, I met Alyson Hannigan and we had sax). Barely remember anything from back then though, and was never good at it. Nor liked it really.

What should I do if I miss a call from a friend?

Eutextum

I own a guitar (two, in fact), but to be honest I can't actually remember when the last time I picked it up was. Played loads back at sixth form and the first couple years of uni. I still call myself a guitarist if any musos are around, though.

Back at school I had lessons in pretty much everything going, violin and saxophone were the two longer-running ones.

You'd be surprised. Its not the walls, it's the floors. It's a really old building

This is also true of my place. I had a hell of a time trying to record some vocals here last year, I was picking up people have rows and everything

If it wasn't for a specifically peaceful track, I'd find that quite a cool detail on an album.
