I've been playing live since I was in sixth grade.
My brother is an excellent songwriter, and I play guitar and drums.
We had a bunch of instruments around the house. Like, I played different instruments, trumpet, bass, drums, piano, all that, but whatever I could get my hands on.
I don't have technique because I never learnt any.
I never took guitar lessons. I took classical piano lessons from the age of six when we lived in Holland.
If you're stuck at piano and you're not a lead guitarist or a lead vocalist, you're kind of at a nine-foot plank then and you should do something about it.
My first couple shows, I figured I should be playing the guitar and singing. That felt weird, but I got good at it pretty quick, and I learned my songs and how to play them.
I've always enjoyed singing and can't recall a time in my life where I wasn't singing. I'm most grateful for the strength I have in that department. I have a lot of bad habits on the guitar which limits my playing ability. But I get a little better each year.
Did you play? It sounded very good.
Got two kids; one's a record producer who lives just up the road from me - great guitarist and piano player, too.
Drums, bass, guitar, keys, I play a little of each of those.
How many guitars do I have? I don't know. I don't know! But I think the answer to it is, more than I can play at any one point in time. Even though I do have double necks, so I can try and play more than at one time!
My son now is 22 months old, he's been playing since he was 12 months old and he gets standing ovations on the drums. He's been with us since he was 10 weeks old, he's been on the drums. He's got blisters on his fingers before he can even talk.
I wouldn't mind being the lead guitarist in an incredibly successful rock band. However, I don't play the guitar.
I've been singing and playing the guitar ever since I can remember.
I've been into music for a long time. I started playing drums when I was 8 and piano when I was 10, then bass and guitar when I was 18.
I'm very interested in music, but I was not born musical. I honestly do think some people have the knack. I can't play an instrument. I'm a terrible singer. I'm not about to launch my album!
The piano is a universal instrument. If you start there, learn your theory and how to read, you can go on to any other instrument.
I started as a guitarist and couldn't find a decent singer, so I started providing my own vocals.
I play guitar, bass, drums, piano, and pretty much any sort of stringed instrument - besides violin or cello.
I taught myself to read music at a very young age, so when I started to take lessons in school, the teachers used to give me other instruments to keep me busy, because I was more advanced than the other kids.
Music was my first love, and at Marlborough we put bands together and sang the pop songs of the day. Although I couldn't read or write music - I still can't - I taught myself to play the guitar and piano by listening to songs and working out the chords.
In the future, I kind of like the idea of doing music for film. I think that would be a nice job. I've always liked the sound aspect in movies. I guess once I have more instruments under my belt, it could be something I could do.
I always sang when I was little and my father, who was a great influence on me, also had a wonderful voice. He and my mother really encouraged me to sing and play the piano. They were always very supportive.
A lot of people love men that rock; I love men that love a good melody and a good harmony.
