Most random/embarrassing you can play

[GoodOrEvil]

As the title says. Talking about instruments by the way.

I ain't that talented, but I got stuck with clarinet. Wanna learn bass or drums though.

[Sammas]

whats wrong with clarinet? it is such a wicked jazz instrument!

[Julia]

I have to play guitar... it's so humiliating.

[Marv From NZ]

Bongos count? The second insturment i learnt was like way back when i was 8, it was *ahem* a TIN WHISTLE. MAN....i can't bellieve that was 10 years ago, bloody hell life goes fast these days. Me and my little Irish songs, who would've believed? One day i'll incorparate it into my guitaring, one day. I've also learnt the Recorder and Ukelele. But yeah these aren't really embarrasing, more random. fuck i really love life atm.

[Julian]

I think everyone can say the recorder

[Wazzup]

Go The Kazoo!!

[Liz]

I think everyone can say the recorder

Everyone learned the recorded at my primary school. It was on the stationary list at the start of the year. Everyone could play except me. :(

[Strider]

I was in the recorder GROUP. How shameful haha I was so proud at the time as well lol

[Watty]

I was in the choir at one stage when I was in primary school but quit just before the first performance lol

[Habibster]

Does the triangle count??

[Erin]

i wanted a recorder, i got one, but got annoyed that no half decent sound came from it. i don't know where it is now.

[_jimmy_]

i got one for school and only ever used it twice, i wasted 5$ on a annoying instrument.

[WHITE FALCON]

lol i played the national anthem on the recorder with the school band!

bahahah this is in grade 7 ofcourse!

[_jimmy_]

music in 7th grade wasnt exactly that fun, all we did was do a simple drum beat,learn the intro to in the end by linkin park and learn the note c on a bass(why the fuck did our music teacher teach us this!)

[GoodOrEvil]

Music stopped after 2000 at our primary school. They decided it wasn't important/couldn't afford it.

[graverobbin'bastard]

I'm not embarassed about it at all but I was trying to learn the tin whistle for a while all I learned was finnegan's wake though haha I lost the whistle, boooruns, I wanted to play it in a celtic band

[graverobbin'bastard]

[mel_bound]

ooh ska is good! I also play trombone. Here he is.. Roger (http://myspace-413.vo.llnwd.net/00982/31/45/982625413_l.jpg) is his name :D
The most embarrassing I've played.. at the school band competitions a few weeks ago, our band played completely shit. It sucked, as all our rehersals were pretty decent!

[Kacky]

I had to play the trombone for music class at school...and when it came time for a performance, I faked all my slide positions and didn't make any sounds, because I didn't like practising. :p

[Kevin]

i was in the school choir in the later part of my high school life, we actually got around quite a bit, and i got to go in this combined schools choir doing a boy from oz medley. also i'm on some penrith plaza christmas cd, not solo, with a large group to help even out my singing disability :p

[skitbra]

Go The Kazoo!!

I played the kazoo in a band once. That was pretty embarrassing.

[graverobbin'bastard]

I didn't much like playing trombone. I kinda got forced into it haha. I'm quite content bashing away on me drums. Which I LOVE

[_jimmy_]

its cheap anger management

[hillaas]

I dont see whats so embarrasing about instruments. But i played the recorder in grade 3. Although i do get a bit embarresed when all my friends are talking about their guitars and basses n all these songs n im like "i can play a sonata on a voilin". I feel so uncool!

[cammo]

I played the flute for a few years back in the day. Quit before high school though, wasnt really up for being bashed over it haha.

[hillaas]

This one time at band camp...

[dwayne12]

I have been playing guitar for 4 and a half years. How embarrassing! < Some nice sarcasm to kick off my afternoon.

[*M!]

i can sorta play the spoons...

i'm not big on the Kazoo...

other than that i'm not embarressed by anything else i play (embarressed by my lack of ability and talent... yes... but that wasn't what this thread was/is about)

i wish i played the accordian - it's cool!

*M!

[WHITE FALCON]

guittarrr all the way!!!

[*M!]

since when are guitars random AND/OR embarressing White Falcon?

*M!

[Neo]

I can play the saw :D I'm such a loser hehehe

[*M!]

oh wow - the saw is spooky but kinda cool... in a loser sort of way *giggles*

i want to play the glasses..

i haven't decided if it would be doing that rim thing or if it would be hitting them...

i have suspicions that it would be the latter!

*M!

[Emz]

Ugh the most embarrassing/random instrument - if you could call it that - that I have played was this thing that our primary school music teacher called a "glover horn" meaning it was a glad-wrap tube, with a glove masking taped tightly over one end, a hole cut in the thumb of the glove and then a plastic tube masking taped to this hole. It was horrible, it sounded like groaning plumbing and she made us make them all different lengths so we could play hot cross buns for the school.

[CourTLErocks]

i had to play the trumpet in primary...after the 2nd american pie...that wasnt a good instrument to play

[hillaas]

i can sorta play the spoons...

*M!

That is so PUNK!


Can i ask where/why u learnt the spoons?

[Jodez]

Back in primary school i played the recorder. and wierd as it may seem i actualy was the best in my class, so one day we had to perform the national anthem at assembly, and out of like 20 kids only 4 of us remembered to bring our recorders (funny thing that) and so yeah, i got up and cause the other kids were crap, i pretty much played the whole thing on my own.

Now i wish i could day the same about the guitaR!! haha

I think we've got a winner here. It sounds so no frills, like a shoebox with elastic bands over it - a guitar. Do you remember those lollypops where you can blow into it and you can play songs on it? And if you blow too much, saliva comes out of the soundhole and its all sticky.

[Ally]

Melody pops! Yeah, they're awesome.

Does anybody know how to play harmonica? We have an old one and I want to learn how to play it, I think it would be cool.

[Kevin]

is it chromatic, or in one key?

if it's not chromatic, just find a song in that key and jam along :)

[Neo]

just blow in and out wile moving your mouth in different positions untill it sounds like something!! thats what I did, and now I can play at least 2 well known songs haha :cool:

[Emily]

Ohhhh a thread 4 me!!

i play the sax...its orite most of the time
i played the flute (shakes head)
and like the rest of yas i can play the recoreder...

ohh and ive been 2 band camp!! twice... hehe

[hillaas]

Man, today I was in Allens along with daniel and some others and there was an electric violin out and seeing as i have wanted to buy one of these for quite some time i thought i'd give it a go. It was terrible. Usually i'm not embarresed to play in front of people but today i was nervous as because all my friends, the shop clerk and a heap of randoms were all watching (and judging) me. I felt under pressure and i played the shittest piece of f*** ever. All i wanted to do was test out the violing but instead it was like i was performing for these people. All i gained from it was this: I want an electric violin with an effects pedal and an amp.

[Billyasd]

It doesn't really embarrass me, in fact I use it in one of my guitar based songs. I play flute!
