    Who here plays an instrument

    I do. I've been playing bass guitar for close to 4 years. On and off. I'm teaching myself to play. I should really get lessons though to learn the cords and such. But, overall, I'm not THAT bad. I can play most of Nirvana, A lot of Alice in chains, Pink Floyd. Really anything if I put time into it. So who else plays an Instrument?(sp)

    Edit: Does anyone have any tips to get your fingers stronger? The lower on the fret board you go on a bass, the harder it is to bend. So any tips to get your fingers strong would be appreciated.

    I've been playing bass for about 5 years now, 4 strings rule the only thing I can say about bending bass strings on the lower frets is to learn how to hook the string with your fingers or I will grab it with 2 fingers and bend the crap out of it. either technique works, I use both.

    Yeah I usually use 2 fingers to bend the lower strings. Just learned a new song today. Alice in chains - what the hell have I. Its one of my favorite songs.

    Yeah. I did everything on that except play and track the drums. Keith Heaney played the drums and they were tracked at a local studio. We then took the tapes to the home studio for me to finish the tracking and mixing. It's a few years old and real life has been a PITA ever since so I haven't done anything new.

    I've been playing guitar for about a year. I originaly had a Krammer but I sold that and bought a brand new ESP-LTD F-50. Got some 56-13 GHS Boomers on it for strings. I'm ok at it, but slowly getting better. I just learned Lamb of God's Omerta (not a hard song tho). I play everyday or at least try to.
