Been playing guitar for three or four years now, I don't even know how long. Might be five, even. I'm pretty bad for the length I've been playing technically, but I mainly work on creativity rather than the technical side of things.
I've been half-playing drums for the last year or two. I don't really concentrate on them, I just play them whenever I want.
As for bass.. Meh, it's essentially the same as guitar to me, so just the same thing.
I've also been playing piano for the grand total of about a month. Hooray!

I've been playing for about a year, but i was fucking around for a few years before that in my bedroom. Never learned anything just a few riffs here and there until last January. I recently got a Marshall 100HDFX half stack, planning on getting another cab just for show, hah. Got a BOSS GT-8 multi effects pedal, its the mothertruckin' business! Also just bought an Epiphone gothic explorer 2 days ago, already had the flying V, and im planning on getting Jeff Hannemans signature, but €2,500 is a bit much. So thats about €2000 ive spent on my rig in the last 2 months, and about the same amount to come

You must be good then if you can trust yourself to spend that much on gear and you've only been playing for a year??
Ive only been playing that long and I think long and hard before buying plecs...LONG AND HARD!!

Money doesnt buy talent, but it most certainly helps. Even Vai would sound like crap on my old 15watt fuzz box! ;D
