Bass.

Do vocal chords count as well? I sing sometimes :p
 
I can sort of play keyboard, but will get better the more I make music.
 
Guitar. Mostly heavier stuff, some punk, some classic rock, and a bit of classical guitar as well. I love it. :)
 
The skin flute is pretty cool, it's a big mess when your done, though..

I'M JOKING. F*CK.


I play guitar. Just plain metal. yeah!
 
Guitar as well. And I love all things relating to recording and audio engineering.
 
Drums. Like a mother****ing riot. :bonce:

Well, not really, but someday. It's become a passion so I really want to start pushing myself and going onwards and upwards.

Interested in learning guitar aswell, and getting into the recording/engineering side of things somehow.
 
Guitar, and when you are good on guitar, bass becomes natural, well not with the fingers anyway :D Quite keen on the keyboard too but not that good at it tbh.

I used to play Muse and Hendrix covers only but ive on to my own stuff now, recording, editing etc.
 
If you have videos of yourself playing, might as well post them. :)

I'd have to disagree with that. I think that most guitarists who try to play bass end up approaching it with a guitar musicianship and do not gain an appropriate approach to the instrument and how it should fit in a song. Bass also requires a much more precise and tight technique than guitar and I've found that many guitarists who try to play bass usually translate pretty sloppishly to the bass.

Same way with bassists who transition to guitar. They generally have trouble coping with the smaller frets, smaller and more numerous strings, and decreased distance between strings. It's definitely easier to go from guitar to bass than vice-versa, even considering proper technique and theory must be learned.
 
I think that achieved bassists who transition to guitar also tend to make more interesting and efficient players sometimes, since they will likely have a more articulate style and can lock-in with the rhythm well and may understand dynamics a little better.
 
I used to play bass alot, and I still pick up every now and again, but not as much as I should. I've had my dads Fender in my room for a while now and all I use to ever do was play simple stuff like Mogwai and At the Drive-In. Stuff that didn't require much theory/learning, y'know? I'd like to properly learn but I'm not fussed.

I guess I play the... computer, as in using software, and then my little MIDI USB keyboard for making life a little easier.
 
I guess I consider my computer an instrument, along with my keyboard.

Not too brilliant on the keyboard itself, but I do spend a lot of time with synth patches, drum sequencing, and all that shit.
 
Acoustic guitar, some piano, some trumpet, some saxophone. And i can use fruity loops pretty well if that counts. I like to try different instruments.
 
I used to play the piano very well, but I haven't played in quite some time. I can still read musical notes though.
 
Jebus, am i the only Violist around here?

Also pianist.

Speaking of which, my new MIDI keyboard is on the way. :D
 
I don't play any instrument. Playing instruments is teh gayness.
Whatever. Bye.
 
I say we start a Partridge Family-style HL2.Net Family band.
 
Seriously. We have enough talent for us all to make a few tracks. It would be easier for us Reason guys to collab, but the rest surely could contribute quite a lot.
 
Bass, mainly. I do some singing, I used to play piano a bit, and once taught myself to play trumpet. I can do a bit of guitar, too.
