Hi guys,
I play electric and acoustic guitars. I got my first guitar roughly 6 months ago, that's when I started out. So I've just started to progress from a beginner level to an intermediate level.
I've decided to start learning how to play the guitar when I changed jobs. At my new job, one of the guys had brought in his classical guitar. When everyone would leave, I would take the guitar, and play the strings randomly. Soon I was able to create simple melodies with open strings, and I didn't even know any chords or notes. That's when I decided that I'd like to start learning how to play this instrument.
So that's my story. I'm looking forward to hearing yours!
I've been playing drums on and off for quite a few years, been in a few obscure bands back in Russia. Then I haven't done it for a while. At some point after moving to London I got an electronic drum kit and picked up playing again but so far haven't managed to find or start a band in London - mostly playing along to other songs and metronome.
I can also make random sounds out of a guitar, but you probably don't want to hear that!
Haven't played in a while, but I did study music in high school. Played guitar back then. Have also played bass, which is probably the best bet for me right now, and drums, at which I'm horribly rusty atm.
Moved to London a few months ago from abroad though, so all my instruments are in Oslo.
Hi, as from age of 7 I was going to music school for 8 years, played a piano, didn't like it at all, so as soon as finished, dropped it and now couldn't remember a thing to play. Then in my early 20's picked up an acoustic guitar. It was old, russian, cheapest guitar known to mankind. Taught myself couple of chords and had quite a bit of fun , but nothing too consistent or serious. This went on and off (mostly off) for 6-7 years, until about half a year ago i bought proper instrument and now trying to get to intermediate level. Participating in our Jam sessions gives me lots and lots of boost to learn more and more 'till fingers start bleeding :D
Hi there, I graduated from a tennis racquet to a guitar in my teens when I was very influenced by lots of rock bands from the 70s and 80s. I was a big fan of bands like UFO, Thin Lizzy, Rush, Led Zeppelin as well as the Beatles and the Stones etc. I formed a few bands and played loads of gigs up north.
I like loads of music nowadays, though I can't necessarily play it. I don't busk tunes as I never saw myself as the guy at the party playing but more as the guitarist in the band.
I'm out of practice nowadays but warming up nicely. I'm happy to jam and can play some bluesy stuff ok. Need to practice more scales...
