I can play GreenSleeves on the piano....

Horray for people who can play the piano! I would love to play guitar, but I only tinker with my friend who is right handed (I'm a left hander) and I'm no Jimmy Hendrix!

... and am starting Guitar. ^_^
can't be too hard can it!!?? haha

How long have you been playing piano, and violin?
My sister has been playing violin for about 8 months. She preformed at a music show case in Dec, I think she did very well.
I've been playing piano for 4 months, but its still hard for me because I never learned to read music.

If anyone's interested in playing guitar, start out with understanding how to read tabs, and learn a few chords. Its so much easier to understand than learning to read music.
Example:
Smoke on the water...(everyone knows this riff, LOL)

^the letters represent a guitar string

the numbers represent the frets (0 means open note)
practice the riff (in even rhythm, start slowly, then play faster), then try playing along with the track

I am learning to play bass guitar.

haha thanks for the info ^_~

Piano. Mostly freestyled though. I play by ear although I can
read some notes.
I learn almost every single RPG song I hear lol

Ps, My mom's a pianist. I had to learn piano. -_-;

I also play the drums. I'm learning guitar.

I play the piano for 8 years. I stopped having lessons 3 years ago and those 3 years I practice alone, but I can say I'm pretty good (some friends of mine told me that). I really wanna learn how to play drums or electric guitar.:D

i play bass well yea still havent taught myself how to play it yet

I play no instruments. But i would really really really love to play the guitar, bass and the piano. but i sing. my friends i'm good. (when i take it serious) :D does that count??

Guitar (electric) \m/
Been playin for several years.
