I first learned to play the Alto Saxophone when I was a wee one, gave it up after a few years but I have some certificates to prove I was good at it. After that I sold my saxophone- well my parents did- and I got a drum set and played that for many years under my own tuition. Soon after I got into Sonic Youth I became interested in guitars, and taught myself to play some basic chords and whatnot. I'm quite good at it now, I believe.
In helping my dad record his first album last year I took upon myself to learn more instruments to give his album a bigger sound- I implemented drums, of course, but also laid down bass and keyboard tracks, again under my own tuition of trial and error.
I got a mandolin for christmas and I'm trying to play it.
