I have played and do play several instruments.

To save time, let's just cover the ones I play well: Banjo and accordion.

I have to ask: What the heck was the context of you deciding to learn the accordion?

Mac Sirloin 04-05-2013 05:33 AM

I tried picking up the accordian in the fall but I couldn't find anywhere to practice that didn't seem to bother people, but it's terrific fun to play.

My favourite musician is Buckethead, I just love the whole...thing he does. Something about bluegrass slaughterhouse music is pretty grand to me.

But I couldn't say he's my favourite bassist. No, only one man--nay, only one GOD OF FUNK is capable of captivating me. And he is Bootsy Collins.


This eighty second video is one of the best resources I had learning to play.

I started when I was 10 or 11, I just liked the noise. I think I wanted to be a greasy French busker.

Nowadays, I'm trying to emulate Yuri Lemeshev.

You asked me to learn Mariner's Revenge a few years ago. I'm still trying.

No I don't nirvana & metallica are my favorite bands so....

:)

99/100 people whose favorite bassist is in Metallica would say Cliff Burton or Jason Newstead. The Majority the former.

Surprisingly we have a talented bunch on OWF

I was going to put cliff but he's deceased so I put my favourites who are still alive..I could name quite a few of my favorite guitarists who are deceased...

Also there isnt such thing as 'the best guitarist' in my opinion.. each to their own.

It's like arguing over coca cola and Pepsi.

Mac Sirloin 04-05-2013 07:04 AM

Well, Coca Cola is better than Pepsi and also Slash sucks. I don't think anyone has mentioned Slash sucking yet, but let's just get it out of the way: Slash can eat a dick.

I would play Vyrien's penis, but it's too small.


I'm so sick it took me two days to think of that.

I'd love to be able to play drums, but, well. My bodily coordination is about as bad as my sense of rhythm is good. That is, my bodily coordination is terrible.

My fingers aren't long and dexterous enough for me to be very good at piano or guitar, though I did own an electroacoustic guitar for some time, and have a keyboard gathering dust back at my parents' place that I never brought over, because I'd rather have the space for a stand and a proper practice room. I could do basic accompaniment to my singing with my keys at least. Due to my short fingers I've considered taking up ukulele.

I'm best with vocals but I'm not especially distinct, so I could probably never make a career out of it. Still good fun though. I guess I got decent voice control, good breath control, and I learned how to pitch myself better during my Music BTEC. Eh, I was good enough to land a role as Madame Thernadier in an amateur production of Les Mis.

I was alright at recorder/tin whistle, but that was when I was a little shit.

I play the PC. In other words, I press buttons and noise comes out.

STM 04-05-2013 08:22 AM

I play Nepsotic's chin. Sort of like bongos.

MeechMunchie 04-05-2013 08:56 AM

If you blow into the dent in the middle a perfect D-flat comes out of his ears.

THERE WAS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR A KEYBOARD JOKE AND YOU BLEW IT

Nepsotic 04-05-2013 09:12 AM

I DON'T LIKE PUNS!

Phylum 04-06-2013 02:09 AM

On top of everything else I like to pretend I can play Irish music in my spare time.

Please note that I recorded these just for you in one take each and I haven't played much whistle lately.





e: Oh god my bookshelf.

STM 04-06-2013 03:02 AM

I had the inconsolable urge to get up and do a jig.

Steamer_KING 04-06-2013 09:32 AM

YOU GUYS ARE NOTHING, COMPARED TO ME! BEHOLD, MY ART!!!



And after all of this, I'm still better than Nepsotic. Ho well, it was a good day...

Mr. Bungle 04-06-2013 11:42 AM

I play guitar.



I also play bass and drums but I don't have any video proof for that.

Varrok 04-06-2013 12:04 PM

Could you play something faster, and distortion...er?

Mr. Bungle 04-06-2013 12:13 PM

I could. That's just the only recording I have at the moment.

Varrok 04-06-2013 12:15 PM

I love fast playing. It's always nice to see how fast can somebody play

Git'Im 04-06-2013 12:19 PM

Can you play any nirvana songs?

Mr. Bungle 04-06-2013 12:28 PM

A ton of Nirvana songs. Huge Nirvana fan.

1, 2, 3, 4, I declare a music war. Or something.


(The title is ironic, for all you Americans)

Varrok 04-06-2013 12:55 PM

You both lost. That'd be a lesson for you. No one really wins at war

Nepsotic 04-06-2013 12:58 PM

You can't decide that unless you carefully listened to our tracks and thoroughly dissected and analysed them.

Varrok 04-06-2013 12:59 PM

I listened to both of them. (You didn't really see that coming, did you?)

Git'Im 04-06-2013 01:00 PM

Coming from an audiophile, they both shit

Nepsotic 04-06-2013 01:03 PM

What's the most audiosexual thing you've done?
