Viola [10] not bragging. totally srs. :D
Piano [8] but i'm classically trained. so no chord sequences for me.
Clarinet [2], just had to get that one out
Vocals [7] Took lessons, but gave up.
teacher "Put sparkles in your eyes!"
me "for real sparkles? that might be kinda dangerous"
her "SHUT UP!!"

I've been playing viola for 12 years, piano for 11.

My main instrument is e/a guitar. I can also play piano/synthesizer and bass guitar, but i need to practise more. I have tried to play drums, but now i have totally forgotten how to pdo that and i am searching who could teach me how to play them. People say i have a good voice, some years ago i was a guitarist and vocalist at local bands. I also try to work with such programs as Cubase SX, i like music programing. Oh, and i used to play pipe when i was child.

I play the piano but I'd say I'm only mediocre at best. (even though I've been playing it since i was a kid)

I had a teacher who would poke my hands with sewing needles if I got the fingering wrong, and she would insult me with all sorts of crude terms. I was only 9. I hated the piano at that time, so curse the traditional classical training way thing. Because of that I stayed away from the piano for maaany years and now I'm all rusty. Truthfully I only regained interest in the piano and classical music about a year ago, and it was partly due to Malice Mizer (so thank you mana)

Recently I've been trying to play Mozart's sonata in C major k.545 and it's going slow but okay.

somewhere except here... ok, a clue... Mexico
I sing and play guitar, acustic and electric, and electric bass as well, i voted voice just because i think i'm better at singing than others but i love too much playing guitar and bass as well as singing...

it was funny cause i have never had any type of musical education before, i have my acustuc qguitar since i was 15 (now i'm 23) and tried to learn myself how to play it... sadly i couldn't, but a little time ago a friend of mine teached me the basics in guitar and i actually can play it, i can play some songs, nothing dificult... i've been trying to play MM Baroque but it's so freaking hard doing it by hear so i can't do it so far from the intro, the chorus solo thingy by now and quit.
But i also like composing my own songs in guitar.

Anyway i think my skills in gtr are like 5, mediocre. But i'm working over it daily so i can could get better.

My voice, ha! i have always loved singing but i wasn't good, plus i was soo shy to sing in public, but since i learned guitar, i decided i wanted to sing. Actually i can't sing while playing guitar, but i dicovered i don't sound that bad as singing, and everyone tells me so XD i also can sing death vocals.

In singing i rate myself at 7 and death vocals at 9, i could get better.

and bass, i think everyone who plays guitar can play bass and visceversa. In bass, i have a 4... i'm ovbiously better in guitar XDD

lately, i've been learning musical programming, mixing, arrangement and composition with software. I'm working with cubase and the first version of hypersonic.

Piano since I'm 5... but.. well I stoped playing when I was 14 and started again for myself without lesson when I was 18.. so I lost some of my skills ><

Oh and.. I've got an E-Bass but.. I can't play and I can't find any tutor T__T
Aaah.. I'd loved to be able to play some..cool modern instrument..

This semester I'm taking strings, focusing on violin. My professor calls my black violin "the Devil's instrument" because she hates tuning it ^^;

Guitar's my main instrument, I've been playing for about 3 1/2 years. My other main instrument is keyboard - I'm self taught (1 year). My other instruments are: saxophone (self taught), mandolin (self taught), drums (self taught) and vocals (used to have lessons).

Clarinet: 8 (playing for about 9 years now, and it's my absolute favorite)
E. Guitar: 5 (I started when my friend bet me that I couldn't teach myself without sheet music . . . proving him wrong and enjoying it!)
Flute: 3
Percussion: 4
Piano/Synth: 3 (I can only do simple stuff with one hand, but I'm getting in to synth programming. My ultimate dream is to own a harpsichord :D)
