^a fretless bass, not guitar [;)] I guess its sort of like a double bass, which isn't that hard to play.

As for me, the main instruments that I can play well are the drums, trumpet, tuba, valve tromboner, bass and the glockenspiel (yeahhhh!).
I can also play a little guitar, but I wouldn't say I'm too good at it though [lol]

Fretless guitar = Slide Guitar

I play guitar of course. I'm lead guitarist in about 3 bands i think now. I just play the solos, playing rhythm for me is really just, well boring. Playing guitar really is pretty much my life and is what ive been doing for years now, i did have some clips of me shredding somewhere, but they got lost in the internet

I played lead guitar in a band, but decided to take on vocals instead since we really needed a vocalist and couldn't find anyone. I've practiced my growls a lot and they've gotten a lot more deeper and powerful after practicing for a few months... so more of a melodic death metal scream is what I'm getting good at. My band split up though about 3 months ago and I'm trying to find a new band so I can practice more, but have had no success.

I still play guitar though.

^ lol, growling.
I enjoy singing, although I'm not very good at it, and I mostly do it when I'm alone, or bored, or have something stuck in my head.
ALong with that I play my guitar, and I used to play trumpet and trombone, I was pretty good back in the day, but I quit, and I don't regret, they were [r] instruments, anyways, imo.

Trumpets and trombones are not rainbow instruments. They have helped create some of the most beautiful music humans will ever hear.

Violin and Piano, but I do alot more singing than playing. I took violin from 6th to 8th grade, and piano from 8th to 12th, but I have been singing in choruses almost as long as I can remember.

How can drums get boring? lol... there are so many different combinations of complex beats, and you can just jam to your favorite music with a pair of head phones on... the possibilites are endless IMO.

Bass guitars, electric and acoustic (the acoustic fretless), double bass, and a little bit of guitar

Incidently, FN, i dont think its fair to call the double bass an easy instrument. I recently peformed a Double Bass sonata, and that was hard (I play at a grade 7/8).

Music is what i do know. Me and a friend go and play in Birmingham most weekends, kind of like busking. It just feels good to make music and express yourself through a medium that doesn't require people to concentrate on you.

Also, well said Real.
