My piano fucking sucks, but eh.

I technically have no formal training to any sort of instrument; when I was young, I wasn't so much into music and we're sorta poor(I gathered). We did have an organ that I played with some time ago but I never got to do anything worth showing with it.

However, I got to playing drummania in our local arcade and my interest in drums grew. But we're poor so my parents couldn't get me a drum set(and still can't... or won't). We did have a sort of presentation in my (college) block and they were impressed I could play the drums fairly well for someone who was self-taught(and without a drum set no less XD).

I do want to learn some other instruments like the bass (guitar) and the violin. I might start to learn the violin since my sister knows and she says she might get a new violin.
Menorah Jams, Pham:
I have only a scrap of music in my family background... my maternal grandfather was amazing on the piano.  He would practice every day, until he and my grandmother's health deteriorated.  They had to move to Florida and they couldn't take their piano, and he didn't bring his keyboard.  Alzheimer's did the rest.  :-/

My dad has an old Gibson J-20 acoustic.  He had it for a few years and kept trying but wasn't any good.  I figure I'll steal it and sell it for coke inherit it. 

I tried for the second time to learn guitar myself.  This time I bought the guitar and torrented the complete Learn & Master Guitar course track.  I did okay when I practiced but I haven't picked it up in about a month.

I need to motivate myself to practice again, dammit.   :'(

Funny I noticed this topic because the same discussion came up in IRC a few hours ago.  I uhh, am a huge music nerd.  I've been playing at least one or more instruments since I was 5.  In order of skill I can play the following instruments, all of them at least somewhat well:

French horn (my main <3)
Trombone (for jazz band)
Mellophone (marching band)
Trumpet
Really any brass instrument
Clarinet
Bassoon
Flute
Cello

My senior year in high school consisted of 7 music classes along with marching band, the school musical and solo/ensemble competition, and made it into 4 honor bands including All-State.  I really should have went to college for music performance and I really should do something related to music because I find myself making up melodies in my head and humming them or listening to a song on TV or the radio and singing in harmony.  I also tend to doodle out actual music composition from time to time, and listen to technically complex music and actually try to break down the tonal and rhythmic arrangements.

In short, music fucking owns.
Slowpoke:
Today I made a discovery: Wonderful Heaven on guitar sounds awesome when you set the amp to Classic and turn up the gain. I'm gonna keep practicing that.

I'd love to hear a band like CROW'SCLAW play it.
