I play the guitar, piano and the glass-tumblers-filled-with-different-amounts-of-water. The latter especially at really boring dinner parties and receptions. :)

I've played guitar for 4 or 5 years now.. I've kinda lost count.. though I wouldn't say I'm pro, just picked it up 5 years ago so I'm kinda intermediate :)

After HSC I will get serious and actually get lessons. (I'm self taught) I play classical, nylon string, electric and bass guitar. I'm more into drums now, though and have been playing intermediate beats for 1 1/2 years now.

Anyone want to start a band after the HSC?

I used to play the piano but I quit after 7 years because I couldn't do pitch well. I play the drums now and absolutely love it, but my neighbours get a bit annoyed when I do a 7am wake-up call that lasts half an hour.

I also play the triangle.

Well I play the guitar, bass (same thing really...), drums, keys and tenor saxophone :)

Favourites are definately the guitar and sax.

Yay for expensive hobbies!

Primarily guitar. I love playing acoustic stuff like Andy McKee, Trace Bundy, Michael Hedges. And if your a guitarist and don't recognise those names, you need to look them up. They've revolutionised modern acoustic playing.

I'm a singer/guitarist. I've been singing all my life and I'm self-taught at guitar, ukelele and the ocarina.

The ocarina takes some getting used to, but it's good fun to play.
