Musical Instruments

Post by bobby »

So, maybe on a lighter "note" (rofl), we can discuss something besides chronic pain and this off topic forum is perfect for it.

Got any musicians in here? If so, what do you play and how long have you been playing.

I play the guitar, been playing for about 1.5 years and am not great but I'm getting better. My weapon of choice is a Gibson Les Paul Studio Mat Black. I mostly play rock, pop punk and some acoustic stuff.

I've played the lute family of instruments for about 9 years (renaissance lute, baroque lute, archlute, theorbo, baroque guitar). I won't claim that listening to lute music will improve pelvic pain, but it probably won't make it worse :biggrin(1):
