Anybody play an instrument?

[Absolute Zero]

Just wondering of there's any people that enjoy music as much as I do.
State your experience, and how long you've been playing.
Add a backstory to it if you want to, it doesn't matter to me.

I've played:
Violin - 1 year; beginner
Piano - 4 years, intermediate
Guitar - 3 years; intermediate
Drums - 1 year; beginner

I've had an off/on relationship with most of these instruments, mostly piano and guitar. I rarely didn't want to work with violin and drums anymore.
I've composed my own song, although looking back at it, it isn't as great as I would've liked.

A couple of years ago I bought a brand new and very beautiful Epiphone Les Paul 100 6 String Electric Guitar - Heritage Cherry Sunburst, learned 3 chords, sits in the closet now. Every now and then I practice for a month then forget it for 6.

Bought it because I learned acoustic guitar way back in 7th grade but felt bad that I can't remember much of it (or any of it).

I'm left handed so I get a little frustrated that I can't strum very well however I chose to learn right handed guitar since it would be more handy :p

I know the feeling...I was never offered a chance to learn left-handed, no one explained it was possible until after I had learned the basics. It's not that bad...I will never be good at picking with my right hand, but I am more comfortable with the fretboard on my left. Essentially, I play backward...lots of great players do that.

I tried learning left handed a few times, but I'm so used to right-handed now. And this way, I can play most guitars without a problem.

I can't imagine why being left handed would effect strumming though...

Perhaps you are more ambidextrous than I. For me it would feel more comfortable (natural) to strum or pick with my left hand and my right hand on the frets. Right hand picking and strumming still feels unnatural to me. Although I have no problem with left hand on frets.

Meh, I've played piano for 3 years and thats bout it

[Poison_Claw]

Piano since I was 6 (8 years) and I love it. A liiiitttle violin but I kinda suck at it! xP my fav music is classical and orchestra music with strings and percussions and stuff. yup...+

[Vexation]

I play Bass guitar and Ocarina. I own a Fender Precision (Maple, of course!!!) and a Rickenbacker 4003. My Ocarina is an STL Standard. I mostly play Jazz, Classic Rock and Videogame Tunes (CastleVania, Final Fantasy, Zelda, etc.)

[Goat Rider]

I've been playing drums for ~3-4 years.
Guitar for two years, Piano for 1½...

I usually use my skills to record backingtracks for my drummingsessions, or when writing new material for my band :3

I played flute back in grade school and hated it (I wanted to learn how to play the drums). I am going to have guitar lessons and I will teach myself keyboards (with luck). I don't aspire to become a musician, but I would like to be able to write my own music for my lyrics, instead of depending and begging other musicians for that.

@ Everyone: I applaud you all for your dedication to music! You are truly inspirational! :D
