    @Intentioner: hey, jamming is an essential part of playing (we do it regularly during reharsals, and live as well), but I think is only a half of the story. Maybe with time you'll discover that recording can be an intersting world too. ;)
    @Sniper: I was just about to ask you something about that via PM! Having a site I mean. I'll keep waiting, I'm courios to know what do you do with your band! :)
    That also remind me that still NOBODY has downloaded any mp3 from our site, no comments, no insults, nothing... :(
    Don't be shy or lazy, c'mon! :D :cool:

    @aragorn II: I understand exactly what you are saying. However, while in a band while i was at college, all we did was record our own stuff, and never did any jamming. So i have suffered a recording overkill. So now when i get with musicians, all i want to do is jam for a while.

    I also come up with some kewl riffs but can never be bothered to do anything with them, despite the fact that i have all the software/equipment to record my own stuff. I'll get round to it one day i'm sure :D

    I took piano lessons as a kid but hated it. I have a bass and took some lessons, but I just don't have the energy to practice to the point of being passable. I wish I had the time and energy, but there are so many other things that I have to do!

    I played just about everything in High School. I loved playing auxilliary percussion in the school brass band, man those maracas...

    Actually the timpani were the most fun, and I even played flute for 6 years.

    Couldn't play a thing now after all that time...

    But if I could I would play bassoon. I have always loved the bassoon solo in Stravinsky's Rite of Spring. You know, the beginning of Disney's Fanstasia where it shows the creation of the universe...

    I have a friend whom I help with English and he teaches me to play the piano. I don't have my own one, so I can't really practice but still it's not that bad. He has a spare midi keyboard and a Jamaha keyboard he doesn't use, so perhaps I should borrow one and practice a little on my own (actually it's the only way I learn anything).

    I've played guitar, for about 3 years now. My dad first taught me a few chords, then I started on some Nirvana tabs. I got lessons at my school but I didn't enjoy it all that much. Recently I started lessons with a much more laid back teacher and I'm really enjoying that. I like rock, but I'm playing a LOT of blues, usually improvising with the A minor pentatonic scale.

    I have played the guitar for about five years now. I sometimes preform in school with a few friends, and we are thinking of recording a few songs since there is a proffessional studio about 500 meters from school, and everyone in our school has free access.

    I am one of those that wanted to learn to play one instrument. I didn't have any special wish so i had opportunity to play sax tenor. I had no musical knowledge, besides the stuff you learn in school. After one year of playing i quit, since i realized that playing music isn't for me :(

    Good thing for my neighbors, since i live in the apartment building.
