I play electric guitars. I do a lot of metal covers of old school video game songs. You can check it out here: www.myspace.com/frankradeck

does my voice count as & instrument =| ?

I play piano, guitar and bass. I just dabble with bass but I'm pretty good and devote a lot of time to the other two.

I play drum kit and I also play snare for my high school marching band.  I know the basics of guitar and bass guitar.  And I also play the piano.

I play guitar but stopped for a while, at first I found it really hard but then I started playing songs by viewing the tabs their easy to read

Not really a Rock Band question, per se... More of an off-topic question.

But, I play the guitar.

I play Trombone and Tuba
have played piano when younger
and dabbled in guitar but chose to go with the plastic guitar instead

I can sing. I'm a baritone, and I can go to town on a showtune or two. However, I have no formal training--just experience (mostly musical theater in my teens and college). 

I play the trumpet pretty well, and the guitar pretty poorly. Interestingly, I think that my skills at GH/RB guitar are more due to the former than the latter. Working the valves on an instrument like the trumpet builds the kind of finger dexterity that translates very well over to a plastic guitar. =)

I play harmonica, both acoustic and amplified.  I've been in a few bands and stuff.  Tried to learn guitar, but lacked the patience or coordination.  So Rock Band fulfills that fantasy nicely.  I'd like to be better at the drums, since they're so much fun, but there's that coordination thing again.  I'm looking forward to the drum trainer in Rock Band 2 to help my hopeless case.

Picked up piano to play classical tunes but I ended up becoming more interested in jazz.

I played saxophone in junior high/high school :)

I think that's why I'm so good at guitar hero/rock band guitar. I mean, it's the same basic concept but with less buttons, and no need for air control, so it's even easier.

"Just wondering how many other people here play a real instrument.

Thanks to Rock Band i finally convinced my parents to let me get a drum kit. I had wanted one since i was a little kid, but they has always said no. But after i got good at the drums on rock band they finally broke down and let me get a kit."

Thats funny, yeh i used to play bass.

Guitar and a little piano, but Guitar Hero/Rock Band is much more fun.  When the Ion drum kit comes out I'll be a real drummer too :)

I play wii music

Been playing guitar for just over a year. Played and enjoyed Guitar Hero, so I thought I'd give the real thing a go.

I'm learning the banjo. That's not a joke.

Drums and Guitar.

Guitar.

Trombones do it in seven positions.

Haha...ha...ha?

I play bass guitar. And I'm loving it.

Guitar and Bass for me.
Used to be a keyboard player until I discovered Metal in the mid-80's and never looked back.
Always wanted to play the drums but could never seem to get any good at it and Rock Band continues to punish me for my lousy co-ordination,

I play the 'cello, piano and some guitar.

Dude I can play 49 different instruments on my Wii!!!!!!!

I play Viola.

I am completely devoid of any musical talent.

I play bass

I play guitar, piano, and a little bit of drums

Can play anything on guitar,also can do some piano/keyboard.

I play piano and drums

Piano and guitar. 

I am the self proclaimed "best bass player ever."

Electric violin. It's really great!

slowly learning to play my bass

I played Clarinet but not any more my brother plays electric guitar about 4-5 hours a day. When we got Frets of fire he started getting worse at guitar.

I play tenor sax, I used to play marimba, and after being a fan of GH and RB, I hope in the future to truly learn to play the guitar or drum.

I'm an intermediate electric guitar player. Ibanez FTW!

I play Trombone and Piano, but I compose for full orchestra.

Guitar, but I have to look at the strings when I play. Acoustic.

I play the guitar on and off.

I'm working on learning the bass

"I'm an intermediate electric guitar player. Ibanez FTW!"

I play Guitar (Electric and Acoustic), Keyboard, Clarinet, Bass Guitar... and i'm also a DJ (would you count decks as an instrument?)

I'm working on music theory and am hoping to go get through the 100 level non performing classes at my university and then I'd work on piano and or guitar.

Trumpet (5 years.  Got really good and was first chair in my jazz/concert band, then I totally sucked after I got braces [really messes up your embrochure])

Euphonium (2 years. Switched to after trumpet but IMO not nearly as fun)

Guitar (1/2 year. Doing private lessons, but previous music experience helped a LOT)

i play guitar and trumpet... i'm not sure how rock band works but unless it has you doing 3 beats at once prepare for a surprise... plus you do realize that with rock bands price tag you can get a REAL guitar and base?

I play piano, alto saxophone, and, now because of Rock Band, drums!  I am best at sax though.

Bass Clarinet, a little bit of sax, and I'm learning piano.
