Well, I own drums and guitar, but I can play anything once I learn the playing surface of it. Learning theory is quite a bit more important than "how to play," if you ask me.

Just for the record, midi does count. Even just programming musical notes requires knowledge of music and how the notes interact with eachother to become melodic.

I've played Guitar and Bass for nearly 20 years. I'd like to point out that "computer generated" stuff actually takes a lot of skill and technique to do properly, just like any other instrument. Thats all I do these days (techno), haven't actually picked up a guitar in ages.

Currently kinda sucking at guitar. Been playing for a couple months but self taught mostly. I could use a teacher.

qft, my friend.

I played french horn in HS (same band as Greflin). I'm friends with all brass instruments except the trombone. I fool around on guitar and with music composition, but I haven't been productive since I've been reproductive.

As I type this, I'm listening to Zib tear it up on the sax. Way to go Zib!!
