Well I guess for me, I play Bass guitar. I started playing Bass guitar about 4 years ago (remember I'm only 14), I guess who inspired me was Nirvana, since they got me into Music (been listening to them since I was little). Other than that, one bassist I look up to now is Matt Freeman, but he didn't inspire me to start, I guess Matt because, for some reason, every time I pick up the bass I start playing the intro to Journey to the east bay.
I PLAY DRUMS!! i dont really think anyone inspired me so much, drums just sound so awsome and are really fun to play. Buying my drum set was the most awsome thing i've ever done :D
I play the Guitar :) Electric and Acoustic.
I guess Good Charlotte inspired me to play .. never really thought about playing guitar untill after I saw GC live in 2007 .. That really got me inspired to start playing!
I play 3 instruments. an Ibanez Jazz/Precision Bass Guitar, a Yahamah FG-150 acoustic guitar, and a Peavey Predator electric guitar.
Benji Madden, the song Cemetery, Learn to Hate & Freak by Silverchair, the smashing pumpkins oh and Bradley Nowell from Sublime. been listenin to them since i was 5. got a big bro. anyway, also my dad. and Red hot chili peppers. been listenin to them since i was lil too. so yeah. i suck at playing but i love to play 50's music and make an attempt to figure out some of my fave songs.
I play little piano, drums and guitar. Guitar is maybe the most important instrument to me. Idk, I have many ppl who inspired me to play. Like Benji Madden..
I play bass, drums and i sing. I'm better at bass as have been playing for about 5 years now. Music has always been my everything, i grew up listening to guns n roses, bon jovi and whitesnake, as i got older i went more towards the rock music and i always wanted to play an instrument but never wanted to play guitar, i went straight for the bass and once i picked my bass up to play it i never looked back. I'm in a band called Without Consequence, we have been together a year and have our first gig coming up on halloween :P fingers crossed it goes well lol.
I studied music all throughout highschool, so I can play a fair few instruments.
My favorite ones to play at the moment though, are my ukulele and melodica. They're just really fun to jam on :)
Not really sure what inspired me, I think it was mainly curiosity :)
