Do you play any instruments?

[IndyGunner]

Hey guys...

Ive been playing guitar for a few years. I also had some vinyl turn tables, but I sold them to buy my acoustic guitar.

Martin dcme acoustic electric guitar
Fender Strat mexican sunburst electric guitar
Fender stage 100 amp
ernie ball volume pedal
boss dd7 delay pedal
digitech metal master pedal
amp has an included pedal with distortion, more distortion, effects (flange, delay, chorus, and several others), and reverb (multiple settings such as room, hall, etc.)


Recording gear:
Pro tools mbox 2
pro tools
garage band (usually use this as its easier, havent quite figured out the six gazillibillion settings protools has for each individual effect)
Lexicon omega interface (my first recording interface, I now have protools as stated above)
Adobe audition 3.0 (if I use a pc)
AKG perception 200 condenser mic
studio projects c3 condenser mic
pop filter
yamaha midi keyboard w/ stand


Here are some song demos I have recorded. I think my biggest challence in writing songs is getting past the first minute or two. Some of these are recent and IMHO pretty decent. Some of them just suck, but I figured id post them anyway.

btw, mediafire is a site I trust 100%. I absolutely swear on my life that these download links are my songs and you will not get any viruses (unless its from some other program or webpage you visit)... when you click on the link, give it a second, then press download and save it somewhere you will remember, like the desktop.

Enjoy and please feel free to give any constructive criticism you might have. (please be gentle!)

sorry for the auto tune on this one... made it a long time ago when I first started singing, it sounded cool at the time... now I just wish I would have saved a version without it. Willie nelson would be pissed... oh well.

Great playing man! I play a too, but not quite the same music. Keep up the good work

 

[IndyGunner]

Thank you!

My #1 favorite is dave matthews, if you cant tell. But I listen to and play everything. I love all music except auto tune rap and mainstream country.

What do you like? What kind of gear setup do you have?

I use garageband, too, mostly.

I used to play rock, but play acoustic/clean instrumental/folk kinda stuff now. Just got tired of the bs associated with playing shows.

I'll try and post some music when I get a chance.

 

[JetGirl]

Clarinet, saxophone, flute, harmonica. I plunk around on piano...but only for my own amusement.

Do you have an original '59? I'd be afraid to touch it.

 

[00BlasterResto]

Wow, I wish I could jam out like that, I have no musical talent what so ever. I wish I did though, I am out of rep but your on my list.

 

[serpicostraight]

i play guitar/bass will try to get some pics of gear when i get home. broke down in eaton ohio right now might be stuck here all weekend.

 

[Integraholic]

Drums. 17 years now. And I act like I can play guitar some.

 

[serpicostraight]

i think we can start our own band. all we need is a name."brINGOn the bacon" sound good?

 

[Audie Murphy]

Been playing guitar since I was 14, I'm 40 now. Played a Dean Z in the 80's, a Ovation elec accoustic in the 90's, a BC Rich warlock in the 2000's and now I'm sporting a Fender acoustic. Getting more and more into classic guitar..

 

[sepe]

Use to play guitar and clarinet. I've got an electric bass that I built from random parts, got an acoustic/electric bass a few years back as a b-day present, and I still have the guitar I bought from the guy that gave me lessons.

Got a steel drum that I've messed with a few times and some random pieces of a vintage drum kit that I picked up cheap(heads need replaced but the chrome hardware and bodies are good). Not really too into playing the drums but just as man cave-ish decor, they're pretty.

I did find out that the trumpet is not something I can play nor is the trombone. Tried sax a few times when I was playing clarinet in the school band and I liked it but quit playing for football. At times I think about picking up a cheap-ish used sax and a nice new mouthpiece and trying to teach myself.

 

[IndyGunner]

Awesome! Im glad to see so many people who play. Thanks to everyone who gave me compliments! Keep posting stuff, I love seeing it.

Do you have an original '59? I'd be afraid to touch it.

man i wish. if i did, i wouldnt tell anyone about it.

as for my gear, i've thinned the herd down to only a few Gibbies. I have a Boss ME-50, which I pretty much use only for the tuner, though occasionally i use the tubescreamer and wah pedal. That gets plugged straight into my Marshall. The older I've gotten, the less I have relied on effects and the more I use only the guitar's pots. I played guitar for over 10 years before I really figured out what the pots on a LP can do.

all you need is a Les Paul and an EL34 driven Marshall. mmmmm....tasty.

 

[SgtBaker_21]

I play bass mainly, but also play guitar, drums, and cello. Classical trained on cello for 10 years and been playing bass & drums for 13 years. I'm constantly trading gear (benefits of working for the largest musical instrument retailer in the world), so my collection is ever changing. Here's the current list:

Schecter Model T 4 string bass
Ibanez SR505 5 string bass
Ibanez acoustic guitar
Squier Tele electric - current mod project
Genz Benz GB750 bass head
Gallien Krueger 2X12 bass cab
Ibanez bass synth pedal
Boss bass chorus
Boss bass flanger
Boss delay
BBE sonic maximizer
Akai Head Rush
Electro Harmonix bass Big Muff
Vox guitar practice amp

Just some of my toys. Still looking to pick up a mandolin & banjo.

I play the guitar, I have for years.. I love it..

Of course mine look.. well different.. haha

I’m just starting on this one now.. I’ve got “abstract” plans for it.. hahaaa

 

[Benny]

I don't have a musical bone in my body.

I can't say I'm happy about it though...I would love to be able to play a guitar, piano or drums, in that order.
