Nice
ATM, I'm learning to play Yellow/Clocks on Guitar, whilst being on XDA, and flashing a ROM on my TG01!

I learned clocks on the piano, that was one of my first songs It's such a great song.

Take it as little steps at a time. Completely learn little parts then add it all up as a sum, that's what worked for me.

Anything with strings really... Have been doing a little piano but it doesn't seem so hard lol. I started teaching myself guitar when I was twelve and when I got to college my roommate was in a traveling family band thing. I learned a bit of mandolin and fiddle then and everything just makes sense now. Though the ukulele became my standby/always with me instrument for the last few months lol

Whoa... lotsa musicians around...
Guitar = 8 years
Bass = 9 years
Nothing else, although I know how everything should sound like in a band.
@OP trying to learn how to play: Pretty easy, really, if you can sing a little. Go to ultimate-guitar.com and look for the chord sheet. Make sure you have a capo and the song isn't chorded using alternative tunings. Play while listening to the song, with your earphones on in one ear while the other ear listening to yourself singing and playing. Try to record it and see if you liked the sound.
I have a tendency to strum differently from the original song, depending on my mood when I get to the song, really. Also because I can't hold a tune, strum and read the chordsheet at the same time, really.

Guitar - 6 years (self-taught)
------
start of high school in our band program:
Flute - 3.5 years
Saxophone - 3 years
Piccolo - 2.5 years

funny because i do the same thing. whenever i learn songs, i like to strum or fingerpick it differently and put my own spin on it. makes it more fun to play in my opinion.
ive been playing guitar for 6 years now, mostly self taught. i was 13, begged for a guitar for christmas (not knowing a single thing about them, haha) and of course, being the spoiled brat i was, i got one. didnt put it down for the longest and now i love to play and entertain.
drunk singing sessions with friends = some of the best nights of my life haha

Cell Phone Survey - Marketing Class

My fiancées cousin has asked me to help get some participants for his survey. It's related to cell phone usage. It's part of a project he is doing in his marketing class in college.
If you wouldn't mind spending some of your time to help out some random kid, we'd both appreciate it!
He says it takes about five minutes, it took me less than one. (19 Questions)

[POLL] What musical instruments do you play?

Hehehe... Let's start out our very own XDA musicians line-up. This poll is inspired by the other thread asking which instruments do you play, but here we can get a better read-out on how our guys (and the occasional girl) are doing musically. Line-up actually includes vocal, and could be changed later on, so do chime in for a tune or two.
Trying to make some logistics? Haha Good morning.

there's been so much fuss about it, so for me it was obviously angry birds!
