There was a similar thread earlier this year, but I'll play along. Banjo (clawhammer), clarinet, harmonica. An eclectic mix: New Orleans jazz, classical, early 70s rock, Mo-Town, Country (not so much the current stuff), Old Time.
Not a day without my LP, dabble in piano, bang on pots, pans, and steering wheel aka perc, nothing professionally obv. Stuck in earlier day rock feel, anywhere from destroyers to mountain, too many to list. Playing style varies a lot on mood, drink, and available pedals. Picked up a harmonica in D to match drop D gtr tuning, figured out Bb sounds better...beats me
Acoustic. I used to play it a lot and was decent.... I hardly touch it any more. I keep telling myself I need to start up again. In 4th and 5th grade I used to play the violin. I wish I would have never given that up
Played guitar (electric) in bands on and off for years. Just got tired leaving a bar at 3am. I play out in the summer time doing gigs and weddings. Mainly playing (acoustic) slide on the resonator. Weddings are rough but 100-200 an hour is hard to pass up. Playing some bass just for a change as well, but the resonator is where my hearts at. I love open tunings and could mess around with them all day.
Play guitar and bass. I like and play a wide variety of music. I have played bass with a Clash tribure band and a Pixies tribute band, as well as originla/cover band. Guitar with a rock/blues band. First gig I played bass on I was nervous as hell. The gig was from 2:00am until 6:00am in the morning. We were mostly what was called alternative music in the 80's. Anyway, the bar sold out of every beer they had we got paid, laid and a free buzz. Rock and Roll!
Been playing in bands for years, mainly guitar. Hard rock\metal (like Sabbath\Soundgarden\Tool). PM me if interested and I'll send you the website.
guitar. I just bought a Music Man "Silhouette Special"...never thought I'd like anything better than a strat, but the silo sounds better than every strat I've ever owned (6 USA strats since the 80s) and looks just as good. Most headstocks on non-fender strats look ugly to me (read G&L), but Music Man hit on one I actually like. I also have a nice Gibson LP trans amber.
This is my story as well. Also played the trombone (the horn, not of the rusty variety) professionally through college for spending money. Not sure why I stopped either one.
My time in the water over the past month has dropped off quite a bit, but I've used some of this dry period to get back into music. A number of years ago, I taught myself to play claw hammer banjo a bit. The harmonica has been a steady thing with me since college. From 4-9th grade, I played the clarinet in school bands, orchestras, and had private lessons during most of that time. But after 9th grade I stopped. I had come to hate it. Decades later, I found my old instrument in a closet at my folks and later had it refurbished: new pads, cork, keys adjusted, etc. It's 50 years old now. Started playing again last month. Still have most of my old music books with the notations from my instructors dating back to late 1964. It's amazing what skills one retains without even being aware of it - especially if they were learned while one was young. Although it had been since 1970, the old habits and fingering started coming back to me without a lot of effort. Same with reading music. Now, however, I'm having fun. It's no longer a dreaded chore to practice every day as it once had seemed. I actually look forward to it, even if my family doesn't. My point here is don't continue to regret not playing or no longer playing and instrument. Give it a go. You're older now and things are different. It will add another dimension your life. As I found out, you too may discover that you enjoy it more now.
