Well I spent the evening at a gig last night. I have to say I found the whole thing quite an amazing experience. Don't get me wrong, I'm well used to going to gigs, but this one was quite special.
The band were incredibly hot, and seeing the guys on the brass instruments and drums may well of caused a stirring 
So do we have any musicians on fab? Just for research purposes clearly |

Last night I went to see Emeli Sande, not my usual sort of gig, although I love all music. But she had a huge band on stage with her with some great choreography. They were very very hot  |

"Classically trained here

My daughter wants to get into music, she's very interested in the classical side of it.
Musical production must be so interesting, so satisfying when it all comes together I would imagine x |

I’d recommend her learning the theory as early as possible. My eldest plays guitar, uke, keyboard and sings like Amy winehouse but her lack of theory knowledge really damaged her gcse  |

Pick up and learn an instrument? It sounds like you'd catch the bug quickly. |

I have such a love and passion for music, but I honestly don't think I have the skill? Maybe I'm best listening and enjoying rather than learning
And good, all the best bands have a reunion  |

Yeah so do we. We have plenty of contacts so getting gigs won’t be too much trouble - the key is keeping making time for it amongst everything else in our lives. |

I couldn't live without music, but I'm an appreciater as opposed to a player. I always have music on, or in my head, and it often helps me when I'm low/ angry/ whatever emotion needs managing x |

I play a bit of guitar. I'm not in a band or anything it's just something I like to do for my own personal pleasure. It's great escapism. It's always nice to find a bit of alone time and have a little strum |

I think it’s the enjoyment and camaraderie that is providing the motivation and momentum at the moment. First time I’ve been in a band where we can comfortably do three part harmonies and it sounds mega. Plus having versatile musicians to play with means I don’t feel under the same pressure as I did when I was younger. I like not feeling I have to lead all the time. It’s a nice ‘dance’ between us as we all take the lead some of the time and follow willingly the rest. |

Used to play guitar/synth/bass in a band years ago. I sing a bit too now and still go through bouts of writing and recording songs/music when the urge takes me.
No time for a band at the moment unfortunately, maybe when the kids are older.

Guitar-rhythm and lead. Used to play in a punk band.
I usually just play for my own amusement but my youngest plays drums and my eldest plays bass. I jam with them when we can find the time and the neighbours are out. We like to play stuff like Green day, White stripes, Rage against the machine, Nirvana, stuff like that.
Looking at the moment for others to jam with. |

Self taught bass player here, just to add another bass player into the mix...
Did you hear about the drummer who's timing was that bad, he threw himself behind a train?
How do you get rid of a bass player at your door? Pay for your pizza.

"I play a bit of guitar. I'm not in a band or anything it's just something I like to do for my own personal pleasure. It's great escapism. It's always nice to find a bit of alone time and have a little strum
I completely agree but I like the strumming minus the guitar..... haha
I did learn to play clarinet at school - does that count for anything!?
I'm sure those skills still come in handy from time to time. You never lose it "
Come here n lets find out |

"Self taught bass player here, just to add another bass player into the mix...
Did you hear about the drummer who's timing was that bad, he threw himself behind a train?
How do you get rid of a bass player at your door? Pay for your pizza.

I've played in bands since I was 14. Everything from big band jazz to punk. Guitar, drums, saxophone, piano, bass, double bass.
I'm a wee bit of a music nerd... |

Listen to the stage manager and get on stage when they tell you to. No one has time for your rock star bullshit. None of the techs backstage care if you’re David Bowie or the milkman. When you act like a jerk, they are completely unimpressed with the infantile display that you might think comes with your dubious status. They were there hours before you building the stage, and they will be there hours after you leave tearing it down. They should get your salary, and you should get theirs.

"Well I spent the evening at a gig last night. I have to say I found the whole thing quite an amazing experience. Don't get me wrong, I'm well used to going to gigs, but this one was quite special.
The band were incredibly hot, and seeing the guys on the brass instruments and drums may well of caused a stirring
So do we have any musicians on fab? Just for research purposes clearly "
Guitar, bouzouki, mandolin, cello, and learning banjo (which is just a five stringed guitar really - so easy for a rolling stones fan)

"Guitarist here.
Well hello mr Hendrix lol. Are you in a band? What sort of music do you play?"
I'm not in a band at the moment but hoping to form one in the near future, i started playing guitar back in 1980 while i was a roadie for a local rock group formed by some of my college friends. I play rock, blues, folk, jazz and flamenco, i just love music especially rock, prog rock, blues, blues rock, psychedelia, big on reggae too. What about you. |

One of my biggest regrets in life is having arthritis in my hands and having to give up the piano and violin.
I was thinking of looking for guitar lessons. |

Im a keyboard/synth and occasionally lead guitatist for a band that includes a keyboard player who used to be in a band for a VERY famous singer. So big that his music basically changed music forever in the late 70s. |
