I play piano and guitar, many styles, including Classical, Rock, Country, Classic Rock, Gospel/Praise & Worship, & I've been known to sneak in a few metal riffs now and then.

Like Quick Nick, I also played trumpet back in my marching band days, but that was long ago.

"This one time, at band camp..."
 
I play piano/keyboard and guitar, but don't consider myself extremely talented at either. A friend said "You get the job done", and I think that's a fair assesment. Other musicians seem to appreciate my playing more - the individuality of my style seems to appeal to them.

I'm also a songwriter, and had a fairly good following in the Rockford Illinios area a few years back, "fans" included Rick Neilson (of Cheap Trick). Most of my stuff is contemporary American folk, with a "hippie" flavor, though I've also written Rock, Punk, and Metal. My latest is an obscene, borderline pornographic, parody of the Country genre. Influences for the folk stuff are Dylan, Arlo Guthry, Tom Waits, and a Joe Walsh style sense of humor. Most of it is not appropriate for a younger audience due to language and/or subject matter.
 
I have been playing Guitar for years professionally, even Toured Canada in an 80s tribute band for a year sponsered by Molson Canadian. Also just started learning the Banjo.{no deliverance Jokes Please} I can play just about everything ,but my Forte is RocknRoll.

I've been playing guitar for nearly three years. I have an Epiphone Les Paul, cherry sunburst xD

I'm in a band with a few mates from school.....we mostly play alternative, punk and plain rock. Blink 182 and Nirvana are my fave bands :)
