I've been wondering how many of us, mylotters, here play musical instruments and how many? As for me, I know how to play the flute, guitar and piano. But I'm pretty much a beginner so there's nothing to brag about. I can play a few songs if it's easy. Maybe if I continued with the lessons (in piano)and not just take it for summer I may know a few more. My self-studying skills aren't that good and when I try a new song I only learn the either the intro or first verse.

I play the same musical instruments as you do - flute, guitar and the piano. I taught myself how to play the guitar and the flute but I went to piano school for two summers. I am still playing the piano and the guitar but not so much with the flute.

I also still play the piano once in a while, when there's a black out. I can't play the guitar any more i lost it some years ago. It's good you still play both.

yes we're both filipinos ^_^. i'm not sure if every people in the Philippines are gifted, although everyone of us has our own talents/hobbies. those are actually the common instruments i see people play, flute isn't so expensive, guitar depends on the brand and where you buy them, piano... you can ask from a neighbor hehe... i want to learn others or just know how it feels to play them but some are expensive.

I learned to play the flute when I was in highschool. But I am planning to buy a guitar this coming Christmas as a gift for myself. I'd love to play my favorite songs using an acoustic guitar, so I am looking forward to it.

I wish I could, but I cannot play any musical instrument. My favorite is the harp. I like the sound of the harp, very enchanting. I tried to play once, but did not get very far. I am thinking of giving it a try one more time, and see if I can make progress this time.

I know how to play the piano quite well. I used to play the oboe, but no longer own one because my sister sold it. I can play the recorder and the glockenspiel. I can pretend I know how to play the guitar and ukulele, lol.

No I don't play any instruments. But now it is my desire to learn play guitar. Because when I saw anybody to play with guitar then also it is my desire to play with guitar. And I want to perfect in playing guitar. But for this I need a good institute which teaches me how to play with guitar.

oh, it gets inspiring seeing others play something well. I hope you get to learn one and find a good teacher. I'm not really good at it, so I hope you'd do a whole lot better and be someone who could inspire another with your playing.

I learned to play guitar in high school. Along the way I learned to play the bass guitar as well. Im not that good on the guitar. I play the background rather then the lead, since background is easier. For those who play guitar, I think you would also be able to play bass guitar without any real probles:)

ah~ oh yeah, there's just four strings on it right? i think playing the background wouldn't be as hard as the lead. thanks for sharing your response and have fun mylotting! ^_^

I play classical piano and violin, and can play viola (but not well XD). I've tried wind instruments in the past and it was just not for me.
