If I tried to actually learn I would like to play the drums. =]
I started learning to play both guitar and piano. I dropped guitar, though. I've gotten to the point where I can read music for the piano, but I don't know any real songs.
So, for now, the only real thing I can play is my voice! If that counts...

Freakenstein, GOOD LUCK AT SOLO AND ENSAMBLE! That's my favorite part of the year. =]
Mines not until March, though.
I'm in one solo and one ensamble. Yay!

I'm not that old enough to actually be GREAT at what I play. But currently i'm learning and playing snare/drum set. I can't play much until I have a few day's of practice. Depends on how hard the song is. 'Bad' by Micheal Jackson is sorta... Easy. But fun.

I play the Guitar,I write a little music for it.heres one of little riffs if someone could give a new riff that would be great (Im bored of mine =( )

Oh noes, guitar tabs! can't read those lol can only read stanza music sheets haha

The ensemble that I'm in is playing this song. Just erm....imagine the first trombone being a french horn and it's pretty much the same hahaha

I'm the opposite! I can't read regular music sheets for guitar, only tabs!

I'm singing All The Pretty Horses for my ensamble and an Italian peice called Bel Piacere by Handel. =] Fun fun!

its not that hard to read guitar tab i'll teach you

these numbers stand for what fret you press down.

Each number is another beat.If a line has no number that means you don't strum that string,if it has a 0 that means you strum that string but you don't press a fret down

I hope this was helpful =D

So... How do I know whether that fret is one beat, held down 2 beats, or played for one half of a beat?

This is my music language. It actually makes sense HAHAHAHA

Reading music is like reading Japanese: I can't do it.

you don't unless you know how the song goes. Isn't it great!?

[quote]Reading music is like shutting up, and not acting like such an idiot all the time: I can't do it.

you don't unless you know how the song goes. Isn't it great!?

Yes, but it's much easier to just read the notation. It takes out an extra unneeded step.

I play trombone. I am not a tromboner. i'm a trombonist.
