I started when I was ten, partly lessons, but I'm mostly self-taught. So four years now. My guitar is a Fender acoustic, model Gemini II. Korea style, baby! I'm toting a 50's Gibson too.
I love all music, and aspire to play at least a fifth as good as John Frusciante one day. Me and some guys from class have a garage band called 'atlantistiger.' Mostly we just try to string something together that you can dance to, cause we play at parties and small jr. high dances
sometimes.
EDIT: Gomithrous, that LOTR sig is hi-larious!

My teacher says I'm really good and I'm learning a song a class, right now I'm trying to perfect slap (my thumb hurts like hell) and I'm learning Slither by Velvet Revolver. There are a couple guitar players and a drummer who do classes at the same time so we have a sort of bandish thing going on, none of us sing though so I'm attempting vocals. My bass teacher has an interesting method, "I could teach you music theory, but I'm not going too. All of you want to play in a band, so you're gonna play in a band". It's not a permanent thing but it's good to get the experience. When I do get a real band i want it to be something like Audioslave, I love Audioslave. 
Rock On!
EDIT: I just listened to your band demo Gladiator that is sic!

I've been a musician for about 20 years now (guitar, mainly). I also do a lot of singing.
I have quite a few musical projects going at any given time, including...
The Shake Ups ( http://myspace.com/theshakeups)
An indie pop band, mainly with 60's rock & 90's alternative influences. Catchy, melodic music with some guitar bite.
The Madeira ( http://myspace.com/themadeira)
Instrumental surf ala Dick Dale, we're signed to the indie label Double Crown Records, who put out our first two releases this year.
P.J. Otaku ( http://myspace.com/pjotaku)
Punk rock ukulelist.

I am a multi-tasker.
I play Alto and Baritone Saxophone, piano, clarinet. I also have an on again/off again relationship with guitar.
My primary function though is singing.
In an all-guy acapella quartet with my brother and 2 other guys our age. We do gigs every now and then when we can. Our biggest gig was awesome, because we were hired by a local radio company (a branch of Jim Pattison Co.) to pitch for a radio station in Calgary so we were flown out, with paid hotel as well, food, everything. Hockey Jerseys (World Cup was on) and all that Jazz and $500 each. Not too shabby.
Ok done my little speel.
Great to see a musician thread!

Ok loving the music talk.
Sorry not able to contribute with the guitar play so much on account of me being extremely un-Hendrix in ability!
However I'm more inclined towards the composing side of things and I do got me a keyboard, a Mac, and the necessary software to produce a few tunes now and again... I had aspirations of scoring for films a few years back, so that's how that came about....
Anyway so far I've produced three albums under the guise of Loreman. Nothing fancy just me experimenting with various sounds and ideas.
It's been a year or so since I was able to make anything serious on account of not having the necessary space to set up the studio - but soon my girlfriend and I should be moving to a bigger place and hopefully I'll be able to start composing again, incorporating my girlfriends voice in to a few tunes. (She can sing I can't!)

There must be at least a few more Browncoat Musicians, any instrument not just guitar and bass maybe a drummer 
? Oh and by the way Gladiator, if anything ever brings your band to Toronto, I know the President of the Music Gallery, I could probably set you up a gig. Beware the Giant Sock-Eating Purple Llama!!!
