When I was about 6 or 7 I wanted to learn to play piano, but my mom said I first had to learn how to play the recorder, because that was a very basic instrument and was good to learn music and all. I really hated it and never practised. I also can't read music anymore.

I still want to learn the piano, but I don't have access to one (never really had the money or the space to buy one). I always enjoyed playing it for music class though (in music class we always had to play songs on piano ...

I was talking about the 6's with the guitar, John stretches his pinky to play the 6th of the chord. You need a long finger to do it.

I play the piano, I learn classical music by sheet music and the rest by ear and sometimes Youtube videos. I really enjoy playing You Never Give Me Your Money on the piano as well as the medleys in Abbey Road.

I am starting to play the acoustic guitar but I am having trouble doing the rhythm as John plays it. He has a 3/4th scaled guitar which makes it easier to play the barred chords, I don't have long fingers =.

Just as an aside, Paul Simon is recognized as quite an accomplished acoustic guitar player (I'd say ...

I play tuba in band, and used to play trumpet/baritone. I recently picked up my first guitar, and my teacher says I'm coming along very nicely. I mess with the drums in the band room sometimes, but that's all it is; fooling. I might decide to pick those up, too, at some point.

How do you play vocal chords?

You just have to exhale and control the muscles around the vocal cords so they vibrate and make a noise. Preferably a note if you're singing. Which is what I usually do when I play vocal chords.

I play a flute and, as Paul would say, "a little piano,". I wish I was a better pianist and could play guitar, but I'm not exactly rigorous when it comes to practising.

I´m (trying) to learn to play the guitar. I´m trying because I´m kinda teaching myself seeing as my tecaher has swanned off to Thailand for 5 months! Yeah, thanks for that, how much of a chance have I got now?!

Despite that though, I'm truly in love with the guitar and I´m desperate to play it properly.

I'm a guitarist and singer. I also play bass, drums, trumpet, and (poorly) piano.

I'm a guitarist, but I confess I've gotten damn lazy aboutu it in my advancing age. It was my instrument while earning my music degree, but since I don't play professionally, I don't have much motivation to keep it up. But I can play what interests me still–I guess that's all that matters.

I also play piano (modestly) and sing (better than modestly). I used to be a woodwind player in my youth, primarily clarinet but could play all the other woodwinds except oboe, because oboe's a bitch. In college, I played lute too, in an early music ensemble, for 5 ...
