Creativity beyond the Graphic > Axe, Keyboard, Drums, Name Yer Poison :)

I figure most of us folks are more creative than we, let on.
I am a Guitarist, of small, abilities, and tinker with many diff, instruments.
Just got me a new Fender Squier Fat Tele Deluxe, and man is it sweet.
Well worth the $$$ and a work of art in itself. In my Stable is an older Jap Strat,
early 80's, and Three, Older Harmony Acoustics, and a 1/2 way decent import Banjo.
Lost my Fender Mandolin to the pawn shop, in the lean times.
So what Ya got and do ya Gig? Do ya noodle in the dark, or in between, multitask's?

77 Ario Pro II series Electric Guitar. I also goof around on an acoustic too.

I write songs too, but they are all crap.

Of course, that requires you to EMPTY the jug first. *winks*

It always works better after you *hiccup* empty the jug.

I used to play the guitar and piano, but some shrapnel I picked up in the Middle East caused too much nerve damage in my left hand for me to play anymore. Aside from graphics, I now mostly satisfy my creative urges through woodworking and cooking.

Maybe you could try a slide guitar, and set it in your lap.
A good lap, dobro is fun to play.

turntables (who would've guessed)
drums

I plan on picking up an Ibanez bass and learning that. My brother, who is also a drummer, is picking up an acoustic and I plan to learn that.

This thread suggests you have some talent in graphics, which I absolutely have none of

I really play piano. Haven't played much recently. I probably am getting a little rusty on my rachmoninoff.

additionally I used to play sax, and I fiddle around with an acoustic guitar.
Reply #12 Top
...and your Rachmaninoff is probably a little rusty too...(winky)

Gibson Nighthawk. Yamaha red-label, made the year I was born.

Wood carving/working, photography, writing.

I spent half of my life as a rockhound/relic hunter with my father, dredging/panning for gold, prospecting for gemstones and digging indian artifacts (which is now, sadly, illegal most places).

What do you get if you cross a roadie with a drummer?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

An even dumber drummer....

[I've been known to be a roadie]

Started playing guitar at about 12 and took up the bass about 14 years later. Don't it much anymore but I've still got my 'Frankenstein' a Gibson SG body hollowed out for bass pickups with a Kay short scale bass neck. Strange conglomeration but sounds sweet!

Now that's cool, I spent a couple of years working in a Goldmine in Colorado.
Down around Telluride and Placerville, off of Specie Creek. I was a hobby Panner,
as well. Still am as a matter of fact. Living here in the South, I have decent access,
to Kings Mountain and it's backwaters, and Tailing Piles. Am hoping to get me a small Backpack Dredge or try to build one. I am also a minor Carpenter, and woodworker, spent a few years working, in an antique Furniture refinishing shop as well. I play the Bagpipes as well, but sold them when in a pinch. I guess that's the quasi Standard for Musicians.
Thank God for Pawn Shop! One Guys I know was so regular, at hocking his axe, they just kept his, Same Pawn ticket and used it over and over.

Acoustic bass over here.... but very, very poorly.

I just love the sound that comes from a good acoustic bass... heh, even when played by me!

CygnusXII: We had a claim on the Yuba in Northern California, and have spent a lot of time in East Tennessee and North Carolina/Georgia. They make some decent, compact 2-inch and less highbankers so you don't have to float anything, but me, though, I like a plain old pan and sluicebox. Less to worry with. Whenever I went somewhere with the bigger 6+ inch machines we spent half our time finding a deep or wide enough spot to float it, setting it up, tying it down, and trying to keep it running.

Granted, you move a lot more dirt, but it is more about the enjoyment to me.

Bakerstreet -+- Way cool, my Dad did some prospecting off the Yuba, I never got the chance, to go there.
We did alot of placer work in Colorado, and we worked, some in Nevada on a claim, that had major gold,
trapped in aluminum silicate, and the aluminum was so light and encapsulated around the gold, that it kept washing out, and unecenomical to process.

"and unecenomical to process."

And dangerous too, if you use mercury and the like. I've known some people that worked gold out of the matrix, but I always prefered working the loose sediment. Probably because I am lazy and like to fish, too

The only thing I think we got out of Nevada was Opal. Pretty stuff there. Glad to meet another prospector.
