I have no musical talent what so ever. I can't play any instruments, no rhythm, or can't sing very well. It's even really hard for me to describe why I think certain bands over others. If someone asks me why I like the band I can usually only say, "Well they sound good. I like their style.":|

Funny thing is I am an avid listener of all types of music... rap, alternative, metal, indie, etc. I listen to LOTS of music pretty much 24/7 unless I'm in class.

Anyone else the same way?

I guess you can I say I am musically inclined... I play a few instruments and can dance to music and carry a tune.

Yep. I can play keyboard pretty well, I can sing metal pretty well, and I have some songs I've written posted on my blog.

I'll check them out sometime. It just seems weird to me that I love music soo much but have no music talent or inclinations at all.

A number of people in my family are musically talented. One uncle has a side career as a religious musician, another uncle plays at a local bar every week. Two of my cousins are in a semi-known local band and another cousin drums here and there. Most of my family plays guitar as well. I, on the other hand, cannot play an instrument to save my life. Though I've been told I can sing pretty well, and a friend may or may not have invited me to come sing for his band. So who knows.

I would like to think so.

I wasn't so great at the clarinet but all that experience in band has left me with the ability to keep rythym well.

I rock the hell out of the drums in rock band and desperately want to move onto the real thing. I am at a point where when I listen to songs I pick out the drumbeat and visualize the way it would be because I know how to pick out the sound of the different cymbals, bass, toms and the snare.

I've played the drums and flute for 3 years now. I've also played the Alto saxophone for 2 years or so... And people say I can dance pretty well with the beat. =/

Well, I got a $2000 scholarship for singing. I play piano, voice, and some trumpet, and I think I'm pretty good (trumpet I need to improve one). I'm a voice major in college, and I have a principle role in an opera. So I like to think I'm musically talented. Though my Youtube channel isn't much to brag about.

They don't sound great, though. They're pretty much midi songs, a little higher quality, but basically just midis. They were made on FL Studio, a bad music studio thingie. The guitar sounds robotic, and the drums sound awful. P.S. RedWolves_, Why did you change your sig/avatar? I love seeing Hayley Williams while posting on here! Now I just have to wait until raven_squad posts :evil:

I'm musically inclined. I've been playing Jazz bass for years. I also play some guitar, drums, and piano. I'm a college radio DJ, as well as a freelance DJ. I have several sets of turntables, drum machine pads, and tons of vinyl records.

I can sing moderately well, but I'm not sure if I'm instrumentally talented or not.

Doesn't matter, you'd still fit in well in most metalcore bands.

Well, I've recently in the past year been learning to play the drums and I can play Wanted Dead or Alive by Bon Jovi without any help now :)

Oh, and I am kick ass at SingStar. Not actually the having a good voice part, but holding the notes and getting a higher score! :D

I can play some instruments, I can read music in three clefs (treble, alto, bass), I'm alright with music terms, etc. I'm not particularly talented, but I'm skilled.

Peh. Who needs high notes. Basses unite! Hehe. I'm a bass/bass-baritone. High notes are my enemy most of the time. I hope I can make it better, though.

I play guitar (simple stuff, like chords), bass (my main instrument), and sing (metal styIe, so clean and growled).

My family however is musically challenged. They can't tell you the first thing about music other than physics-related information like frequencies, etc.

It's good that you got some, at least. :) I was in band and orchestra in elementary school and all of junior high and high school. I'm hoping to continue in college, starting next semester. :) I'm very partial to band.

I used to play guitar as a kid, and within about 3 weeks I was learning Barre and Power Chords, and I could play roughly 25 songs flawlessly...Then I suddenly stopped playing, altough I was pretty good for my age.
