I love music so much. I've been playing instruments forever and was wondering who else plays and what? I play french horn, mellophone, Bass guitar, drum set, ocarina, learning accordion and ukulele : )

Music does rock. I play the baritone horn, can play a trumpet after a bit of getting used to the smaller mouth piece, and I have a very basic understanding of the trombone

My first instrument was trumpet. I might like it more if we had a band director who could teach us (our old band teacher got pregnant with triplets and had to quit, leaving us with a guy that doesn't have a teaching degree.) I also don't like the music we have to play in band. I'd much rather be playing some kind of classical arrangement-type music than the weird pseudo-classical shit that we're told to play.

I also play guitar and sing. I've been playing guitar (self taught, just like footbag :) )for like 2 maybe 3 years, and I'm now starting to get really into it. As for singing, my nasally midwest accent makes me sound like Billy Korgman when I sing, and I'm kind of trying to get away from that just for the sake of not sounding like a copycat/poser/loser.

I'm kind of experimenting with electronic music, but due to laziness and cheapness I'm forced to use free online tracker programs rather than good synths like fruit loops and stuff.

I can also play some piano stuffz, but not much.

I don't think I've known anyone who has paid for FL Studio. I would just torrent it if I were you and not feel bad. Just don't sell the music you make with it and you're gold.

To the OP, I play keyboard, guitar and drums. I don't have a kit but I enjoy playing whenever I get the chance. I also make electronic music.

I'm thinking of trying to play Acoustic because I'm increasingly becoming interested in music in general.

I am a prodigy of the 'Skin Flute', 'Clitoris', and 'Internet Porn'. Alas I can not play a 'real girlfriend' very well at all!

Actually FL Studio is reasonably priced, it's the plugins that cost the fortune.
I paid for the music software I use (Renoise), and it was money well spent. Even though I hardly make electronic music nowadays, I got about 2 years of almost daily use of it, and it was only 40$.

I used to play the guitar and the piano, and had a punk band for about 4 years. I'm trying to get back into playing guitar but I've always been more interested in composing music rather than just playing it.
