How randomly brilliant, thank you! Mind you, the furthest away we've played is Guildford (a whole 200 miles away from my house!), but you never know!

I wouldn't call myself a musician but I play the guitar a bit, and sing along, not in front of actual people though (unless I've had quite a few drinks, then I can be persuaded ;) I started teaching myself when I was about 13 (ten years ago) and never really got to any advanced stuff, I can bang out a few chords in the right order though 
I had piano lessons when I was little but I've forgotten most of that, I think it helps for picking out tunes to transfer to the guitar though.

gladiator, your band sounds quite good. how long have you been playing together?
as for myself, I've learned classical guitar from when I was 10 till i was 17 or 18, then I stopped taking classes. I've always played chords just on the side. since I stopped classical i have mainly played electric guitar, but only for myself until a couple of months ago i started a band. we're still in the very early stages and practising songs that I used to perform on my own during open mic nights. it's all very primitive punky stuff, because that's what I mainly listen too. we're just a basic three-piece. Me (a german) on guitar and vocals, a french on drums, and a bangladeshi on bass. doesn't get better than that, does it? unfortunately we haven't got a myspace account yet or any recordings up. that should happen soon however, and then I'm going to use this thread for shameless self-promotion.

For anybody here who plays electric guitar, I found some instructional videos by Paul Gilbert. He's amazing and hilarious.

There are a bunch of others but I think these are the most useful ones. And just for fun, Paul playing the guitar... with a drill! Almost as cool as a polka.

i have,
pennywhistles
recorders
ocarina
electric violin
bowlback mandolin (with a butterfly inlay circa 1800's)
Bowed Psaltry
bamboo flute
didgeridoo
can I play them? not so much but I do love music and am looking into violin lessons
the psaltry I can do simple tunes, same thing on the ocarina and the recorder, the violin throws its bridge at me when i tune it, and I can make interesting noises with the didge. The mandolin, I can tune
Browncoats are the shiniest folks in the 'verse

oh yeah, I've got a violin too, picked it up at the dump for £10, and I managed to work out the angel theme tune on it but it's in the attic now cos I got loads of complaints 
(philistines)
I'd love to have a go on a mandolin too, that must be cool

Peace out
