I think most people learn how to play something at some point. I can play rudimentary guitar, just chords, no noodling. And I've recently taken up the spoons and the harmonica. Playing spoons is great, because you can just show up to anyone's house, demand their spoons, and annoy the poop right out of them. It can actually be a pretty versatile percussion instrument if you know what you're doing, which, thus far, I don't.

So, what can you guys play?

I can do some mean scratches and make original music with my turntables and mixer....but a lot of people argue that it's not an instrument because it's prerecorded sounds....then those same people go play a keyboard. Hmmm....

I'm also trying to learn the drums...that's a fun instrument.

Not as funny as the baritone, which is what I played in grade school. I tried to play one again a few years ago, but I guess my lips have gone all kerflooey, because I couldn't get a coherent sound out of it. I suppose it's not like riding a bike. Of course, even riding a bike isn't like riding a bike. After a decade bikeless, I tried to ride someone's recently. My shoestrings got caught in the spokes, and I travelled about 5 feet before tipping over.

I played the baritone back in 6th grade. I started with the trumpet but I sucked so bad they made me switch. I also "played" my electric guitar at the the time. I don't think I've played an instrument since then.

i can play the drums very well (teaching yourself is easy, if you have hours and hours of no one around and some high school angst), guitar if you show me where to put my fingers, bass if youre playing rock music, piano if you only need two keys struck, and effects pedals, pedals, pedals.

im pretty good with archaic record players, broken cellos, and unplugged electric keyboards.

I do look pretty cool holding an electric guitar. I can play 1 song ONLY on piano, the Peanuts Theme Song.
