What instruments do you play?
My profile says that I'm a musician, but actually I only really can play the guitar. Although, I'm learning to play bass and I used to be a rather accomplished flautist. What about you guys?

17. When the guitar is tuned to an open E Major
Edited on Sat Aug-05-06 01:02 AM by Whoa_Nelly
It's fun :) The chording is worked a little differently, and it makes for some picking.

21. Strum an E
And strings 3, 4, and 5 up to play as an E. But, go slowly...works best with old strings...better stretch.
I usually tune it up like that and and have some fun for a while before restringing time.

8. I have good lips.
I played every brass instrument except French Horn.

I could go small fo the Trumpet, medium for the Trombone or Baritone.
But I excelled with the Tuba.

My lips could make the Tuba sing.

18. I play a saw...
and not well, but when the house is empty I often pull it out and make wonderful sounds to please myself. I use a violin bow, but have been told I need a bigger and stronger bow (Cello or bass bow) to improve and advance.

1H and 13C FTNMR
ICP-MS/AES
HPLC/FPLC/IC
GC, GC-MS
Polarograph
FL-AA/GF-AA
FTIR
UV/VIS/EPR spec
Fluorometer
Confocal and epifluorescence microscope
microtome(sledge, rotary and cryo)

(hire me)

28. Hammond B-3 organ, bass, guitar, keys, a little mandolin
and just enough drums to get overripe vegetables lobbed in my general direction ;) . Mainly playing keys and guitar in a local cover band, and I keep a Hammond/Leslie rig stashed at my church for when I'm on a team. Jack of all trades, master of none, but I have a good time. :)
