Can you play musical instruments?

[Siginulfo]

I can play very well guitar (electric and classical) and recorder. Harmonica and keybord only a little.

[Mortimer]

I played harmonica for a year when i was a kid but i forgot, i cannot play any anymore

[lei.talk]

during an extended correspondence
in which a long-time-poster at
discussed the significance of richard strauss'
use of the white keys in his symphonic presentation
of the self-proclaimed pole's Also sprach Zarathustra

and the same trumpet-fanfare of perfect intervals
opening aaron copeland's celebration of the "century of the common man"
followed by a noticeably dischordant "integration" of black and white keys,

he asked if the girl-child
was receiving musical instruction.

explaining that after she had seen
my son's mother and her girl-friend
sharing the keyboard for mozart's "easy" piano sonata,

she had demanded: "Show Me."
so - we were playing my maternal grand-mother's square piano.
he asked of voice training:

"A woman should sing!" and, after our family meals,
the girl-child does practice her doh-ré-mi-fah-sol-la-ti
during the solfeggio by me, my son, his mother and her girl-friend

who usually hand-signs us
through a variety of bach's contrapunctal fugues

knowing we dine around a fire-pit
on our patio, he jokingly asked if we were terrorising the untermenschen
in the valley below our farm
by howling under the full-moon like a "pack of apex-predators".

the coyotés do - occasionally - set up a howling, in response.

he sent us matching shirts:

I played the drum kit for a few years as a kid, into my early teens, I got to grade 4 or 5, I remember I passed my first couple of exams with a merit, I also played in an end of year show at my secondary school (against my will and with no rehearsal, I was just dragged on stage really). I stopped playing at 15 because we moved house and there was no longer any room for a drum kit. I doubt I am any good now.

[Anthropologique]

Used to play trumpet and drums ... Haven't played trumpet for some time - the lip is gone.

[Liac]

I can play piano, guitar, bass guitar and just a little bit contra-bass.

[Iloko]

I'm pretty good at guitar

[Herr Abubu]

I can play guitar, but I haven't practiced it in years.

[Finnish Swede]

Piano. I played it quite much between 7 - 15years old. Now rarely...to keep up some level/skills.

But I have hoped to learn to play guitar one day. I could get one guitar cheaply from my father's collegue. But it is electric guitar.
Fender Stratocaster but made in Mexico. Quite old too; produced late 90's but said to be in fine shape. Could that be ok guitar for learnings? Or would acoustic guitar be better choice? Or some more modern looking electric guitar?

[itilvolga]

I have a traditional Turkic instrument but im not good at it yet
