I play guitar. But I'd like to play decent guitar.

Double Bass.

Jazz guitar, a really technical style that takes years to get down. Or you have to be born with natural talent...bastards.

Harpsichord would be wild as well.

FruitLoop 05.10.2007 09:37 PM

vibraphone....

I'd like to play Porky's Skin Flute.

Bagpipes. Lou Reed once said in an interview by one of the "superstars" he would like to have lots of bagpipes playing all at once. Imagine that!

Drums.

Piano/keyboards.....I can come up with some pretty awesome stuff, but I don't know what the hell I'm doing.

harpsicord or cello

I reckon some point soon I'm going to buy either Uillean bagpipes or an er-hu. I can play quite a few instruments, the one I'd most like to be better at is violin - bearing in mind I'm pretty good, I'd like to be concert-standard (which, having not played it since I was an amoeba, is incredibly unlikely).

I'm also tempted to get better at keyed instruments - I have a bit of a blind spot for keyboards. I've been teaching myself lately, and it just doesn't satisfy me terribly. Maybe I should get a hurdy-gurdy?

Oh, and I'd like to be able to understand the raags and stuff of tablas. I have a set, and I'm ok, but my lack of any formal training on it means I miss out on a lot.

I'd like to own a cello and a French horn at some point, because I've found both incredibly satisfying when I've played them. Even though I could barely muster a C major on the horn.

Kanamori Happy 05.13.2007 09:46 AM

Pipe organ.

HaydenAsche 05.14.2007 03:22 PM

I wish I could play piano better than I can. Other than that, I already play everything I want to.

The instrument I play now is guitar, but I don't really like it.

My fingers are very long and thin, I've had many people tell me that I should play piano. I've thought about taking lessons, but I'm crap when it comes to actually practicing.

If I had my way, I'd be like this man:

 

cryptowonderdruginvogue 05.14.2007 04:20 PM

i got a sitar for christmas but have not gone to any of the lessons.

schizophrenicroom 05.14.2007 04:36 PM

guitar, trombone, and i'd like to get better at the trumpet.

screamingskull 05.14.2007 05:48 PM

The Bass guitar. People are always looking for bassists! oh and a 12 string guitar

sarramkrop 05.14.2007 05:52 PM

It'd be nice to have a forum where people who play guitar are mentally balanced. I can't see one, if anyone knows of one, please tell me.

Prisstina 05.14.2007 05:57 PM
