    I used to play trombone, lame I know, but since then have a strong disposition for any music, rock especially, with brass in it.

    I have been learning to play guitar since 1965. I am currently in an acoustic trio with another guitarist and a bass player. We play a few local bars in the Cincinnati area. As you might guess, I am partial to Carvin equipment.

    Bull*hit on the lame. Take a listen to any Roomful of Blues album and see how important da bone is to their great sound.

    There is a difference between being good and professional recorded to being mediocre and in high school.

    But yes, I agree, the bone is essential.

    Hi Demi,

    What kind of music are you in to?

    I really don't categorize the music I play, but I guess you could say it pretty much runs the gammut. There isn't much I don't enjoy. As far as music that I'm into now....

    Alternative Country:

    My Morning Jacket
    Wilco (not as much alt country anymore)

    I'm also into more acoustic stuff. Any music that has soul (which is pretty much NOTHING that's on the radio now-a-days).

    I'll just sit back and wait for someone to call me a music snob now. :) I'm really not like that...I just don't like the over produced stuff that the radio shoves down your throat over and over and over again on the radio. There is no variety anymore.

    Call me 'indie man' I guess...:cool:

    Ive been a drummer for 16 years. However I havent played in 2 years. Thats the trouble with drums; they dont have a volume control so when you live in an apartment its hard to get in practice time!

    I play mostly progressive heavy metal like Dream Theater, Rush, Fates Warning, Wratchchild America, Stratovarius and Nightwish to name a few.

    I hope they get things back together. They lost their singer and awesome drummer to the ego maniac of a guitarist (ala Yngwie Malmsteen) and as far as I know havent replaced them yet.

    I actually dig Nightwish better. I like their keyboardist's sound and think its cool to have a chick opera singer fronting a heavy metal band. Plus shes hot! :D

    Hell yeah! Its actually the only band where I think the keyboardist makes the sound! He doesnt use the typical wimpy sounding keyboard mix, his is more like violins and other string instruments. That mixed with Tarjas awesome, classically trained voice make them just about my favorite band behind Dream Theater.

    In fact Im listening to "End of All Hope" as I write this! The most powerful song I know!

    I'm ashamed to say that I do not play any musical instruments. I wish I did though. I do, however, write my own songs :D Just have no talent to put music to the songs :rolleyes: Hmmm...my music of choice is mostly european stuff...symphonic metal, some hard rock, metal, very rarely alternative and if im in the mood...country...Trey can tell ya bout my music tastes (opera sounding stuff) ;)

    Trey (5:22:26 AM): they shiney
    Destiney (5:22:39 AM): ahaha

    Trey (5:23:25 AM): >_>
    Trey (5:23:27 AM): Mayyybe
