Anyone play any folk insrtuments here?[views:2972][posts:36]_____________________________________ [Dec 30,2008 10:54am - arilliusbm ""] violin/fiddle, mandolin, jew's harp, even a dulcimer, or lute (doubt it). if so, and you're interested in recording a few parts for this project in 2009, let me know. regards Arillio Vasquez |
| ___________________________________ [Dec 30,2008 10:57am - brian_dc ""] I have a very cheap and terrible mandolin somewhere. But I haven't played it in like 5 years. |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 30,2008 10:59am - dreadkill ""] i took violin lessons for a while but am not good enough to record anything. |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 30,2008 11:05am - arilliusbm ""] hmm. damn. I was thinking about borrowing/purchasing a cheap one and playing it. there's some company selling fiddles on ebay for 50 bucks right now, too. |
| __________________________________ [Dec 30,2008 12:11pm - Martins ""] I've been meaning to buy a mandolin. Shit's cool. ...I have a melodica though, haha. |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 30,2008 12:15pm - ouchdrummer ""] i have been learning traditional highland bagpipe band snare drumming. It's kind of folky. |
| _________________________________________ [Dec 30,2008 12:32pm - DestroyYouAlot ""] Not mentioning that I'm a passable banjo player and just barely proficient with the mandolin, here. |
| _______________________________ [Dec 30,2008 12:54pm - Yeti ""] listen to the mandolin rain. |
| ___________________________________________ [Dec 30,2008 1:11pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] i have a friend who has a lute... i dont think he knows how to play it though. |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 30,2008 1:29pm - arilliusbm ""] well, then DYA, if you do indeed have experience with the mandolin, then I may ask you to participate. wait, we know each other, right? |
| _______________________________ [Dec 30,2008 3:02pm - Hoser ""] Violin and Bagpipes. Call if you need me. |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 30,2008 3:12pm - arilliusbm ""] Sweet. Are you able to do simple folkish melodies over acoustic guitar and do you own them? and yet another stupid question: electric or real violin? |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 30,2008 3:13pm - porphyria ""] I heard aaron plays a mean skinflute. |
| _______________________________ [Dec 30,2008 3:14pm - Hoser ""] Real violin. All wood...not electronics. I'm no Andy Happel...but I can play. Been doing it for about 10 years. And yes...I own my instruments. |
| ___________________________________ [Dec 30,2008 3:15pm - dreadkill ""] andy happel is excellent |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 30,2008 3:19pm - arilliusbm ""] from devil in the kitchen? i'm not looking for that style. I'm looking for something along the lines of neun welten - a fairly new german folkish band. you guys have the intelligence to download or buy their album. i'm at work and can't post a link but it's really awesome. just simple background melodies to an acoustic backbone. it's going to be a unique project and i'm putting a lot of planning/focus into it, outside of herugrim that is. |

| ________________________________________ [Dec 30,2008 3:45pm - DestroyYouAlot ""] "Pfft - Grandpa's guitars." |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 30,2008 3:57pm - arilliusbm ""] yeah right. i'd love to pull a band like that off live. there's not enough musicians with the same influences and that play those instruments around here. that would be very awesome though... |
| ________________________________________ [Dec 30,2008 6:27pm - DestroyYouAlot ""] I can borrow a banjo pretty easily - getting hold of a mandolin on short notice might be harder. |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 30,2008 6:32pm - arilliusbm ""] I don't think this project will involve a banjo. Not going for bluegrass. Going for Ulver-esque type riffs with some neo-folk and ambient elements. Althought being in a bluegrass band would be fucking sick. Bluegrass Black metal ftw. |
| _________________________________ [Dec 30,2008 6:35pm - sxealex ""] Andy Reiner is in utah for a year anyway :P |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 30,2008 6:36pm - arilliusbm ""] polygamist? |
| _________________________________ [Dec 30,2008 6:36pm - sxealex ""] you should talk to our guitarist stash... he is good at mandolin. |
| _________________________________ [Dec 30,2008 6:36pm - sxealex ""] lol no worse a skiing jew |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 30,2008 6:36pm - arilliusbm ""] hahaha |
| _________________________________ [Dec 30,2008 6:38pm - sxealex ""] bennyhillifier stash is on guitar here |

Listened to any of the acoustic Ensiferum stuff? Banjo all over that. It's more of a versatile instrument than people give it credit for. |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 31,2008 9:46am - arilliusbm ""] Of course I heard that stuff. If you're primarily talking about the intro on Iron, then that's a little too cheesey/psuedo-1960s-GallapingWestern sounding. |
| __________________________________________ [Dec 31,2008 10:42am - My name's Johnny ""] I play a fiddle of gold. |
| ___________________________________ [Nov 3,2010 3:32pm - arilliusbm ""] ATTN HOSER CAN YOU REALLY PLAY VIOLIN AND IF SO, TO WHAT REGARD. WE NEED ONE |
| ________________________________________ [Nov 3,2010 4:16pm - bloblovesmusic ""] I'm trying to get back to playing mandolin. Give me a year and then I'll join you! |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 3,2010 4:31pm - nekronautnli ""] If I still had my clarinet I bet I could pick it up pretty easy.. played for 8 years, I was one siq-azz clarinet player bro |
| ___________________________________ [Nov 3,2010 4:41pm - arilliusbm ""] This is for something else although I'd still love to do a neofolk project. Are you really good at clarinet? For real? |
| ________________________________________ [Nov 3,2010 5:16pm - TheRidersofDoom ""] hammered dulcimer....I wish |
| _________________________________________ [Nov 4,2010 11:14am - ancient master ""] I can play some different instruments I have an autoharp which can sound really cool, and I have some wooden flutes, one which has 2 chambers one being a drone. If you want to hear what I did with some of them check out www.myspace.com/vysok |
