I play the violin and piano, I'm planning on learning to play the guitar too.

I've been playing the piano since I was seven, and I started on the violin at nine. Even though I learned to play the piano first, I like the violin better. Now, I'm thinking of trying a guitar. I like classical music, so I don't think I'd be getting a lead guitar with all the distortion and stuff. And if I decide to try it out, I have a lot of friends and family who can teach me, yeah we're kinda a musical family.

How about you guys, do you play any musical instruments?

I play the guitar.

I have a Fender Mexi Strat that I have nicked named the General Lee because it is hugger orange. I added a white pearloid pick guard and it has black hardware. I want to convert it from HH to SSS.

I also have a mid 80s Epiphone Sheraton, a Gretsch Les Paul copy and my wife has a seafoam green Fender Jag-Stang.

Classical Piano since I was wee little but no so much anymore; I have a Yamaha Clavinova in my family room. Tried the violin but fingers were a bit large. When I was playing in local rock bands many years ago I played a Fender Precision and Fender Rhodes. My buddy, a former band member, still has them and I thought about trying to get the p-bass back. Also gotta acoustic and electric guitar around here some where that the kids play with.

I took piano lessons early in elementary school but I don't know if I made it a whole year before dropping that for the electric bass. It's definately something I'd like to pick up again sometime, though. I played the viola for Strings class in 4th or 5th grade, which was fun but not something I stuck with.

I just dusted off my electric bass and accoustic guitar today and played (or at least tried to) for a couple of hours. I'm going to try to get in the habbit of playing more often so I don't have to relive the pain from today of picking them up just to realize how much I've forgotten. First things first... I have to get new strings asap.

I took piano lessons in elementary school and switched to guitar in 6th grade. Took classical guitar lessons in high school and college and also played guitar in rock bands during those years. I played trumpet throught junior high and high school and also picked up French horn in high school. Played trumpet in the Marching Owl Band (MOB) at Rice U for 3 years. I'm also a big fan of making music with found objects (yes, I'm a geek!).

Turned out I played too long that day after losing my calluses and ended up with a blister.

I finally got new strings this afternoon. Ernie Ball Super Slinkys for my bass and Elixir Light Nanowebs for my accoustic. I haven't strung the Elixirs up yet but am loving the much needed new strings on my bass. I couldn't tell you the last time I changed my strings and oh what a difference it makes!

    • Couple things to update First on the clubs/ball. I switched golf balls to the Left Dash ProV1x. It seems like a great fit for me. I always need lower spin off the tee, it's about a half club longer into greens, and still gives me enough spin with chips and pitches to hit whatever shot I need. The durability is insane too, played 35 holes with one over my last two rounds and it still looked brand new until I lost it. Hybrid is no longer. Couldn’t quite get a consistent strike and the random snap hook left was always lurking as soon as the strike drifted out towards the toe. I know it was me not the club but I couldn’t stand the lefts anymore. Titliest fitting guy came to our club a few days ago and I had been curious about the T200 3iron. I hit a few with it and the stock HZRDUS graphite shaft, it wasn’t bad at all but I could definitely tell when I mishit it. Then the fitter had me try the U505 3iron. When he asked if I was open to trying it I said something like “Isn’t that the game improvement one?” and he said “Just trust me and hit a few with it”. Within 5 swings I was sold. Suddenly it didn’t look as big and chunky when I started hitting rocket after rocket. It did every single thing I want a 3 iron to do. It flies very high, forgiving, can hit it off the tee and ground, can flight it low when needed, and best of all, it doesn’t go left. He had me try to snap hook one left and it resulted in a nice tight draw, nowhere close to a hook. Tried it with the stock shaft and their upgraded one, ended up hitting it the best with the Graphite Design Tour AD IZ-95. Ended up getting a great deal on a used one that arrived yesterday so going to go measure my numbers with it today at the range. I expect to be using this a lot for 2nd shots into par 5s, being that 230-250 club. Hit some on the Mevo+ yesterday and the distance is exactly what I needed.     From a playing perspective, been playing pretty solid so far this season, driving and putting have been solid overall, approach shots have been good for the most part and short game wasn't great to start the year but it's been getting better lately with some more dedicated practice. Compared to scratch over 7 rounds:
    • so with the driver. Feel more arm  width at A4. keep an in the eye on the ball. The first move from the top is lowering the hands down. Don’t mix that up with looking up at the target as the club comes down from A4 with the body. Feel like I get width with the arms from the chest in the Downswing.

    • Went back and reviewed my rounds this year at my home course to fill out the spreadsheet. Realized I have made at least par on each hole but two that I have bogied. At my skill level, it gives me a new confidence that I can play each hole decently well and strong together a lower score. Great mental boost. 
    • I'm at 330 I think. I have a spreadsheet with all of them in it. It helps having lived in two countries. 159 in the US and 136 in the UK. Then a handful in Europe and a few in other countries (Canada, Australia, Mexico).
