If you could play an instrument fantastically/amazingly/wonderfully which instrument would it be?

Piano for me, I think

maybe you could be a DJ instead, your prowess with the wheels of steel is well documented! ;)

I know, I was referring to keyboards I can actually afford

Ever since i started junior school i've wanted to play a violin. This is because some violinists came in and played really good and to me it sounded cool and i've wanted to learn how to play i still havn't even touched a violin yet

Ah, I didn't think they were that expensive?

Anyway, because of this thread I got ours out last night, and played Yankee Doodle and Row Your Boat. I hadn't quite got the timing, but all the notes were in the right order!

I hadn't played for well over 10 years and I couldn't remember anything. I shall persevere until I can play the Godfather perfectly.

Guitar or the Violin.

I have an electric guitar, but have never learned to play it well. I couldnt teach myself, nor afford/have time for the lessons.

One day though, one day.

Drums.

Such a manly instrument.

song about ice cream :)
