I play violin, guitar and bass guitar... I've been playing for a while, I don't know how long. I'm also in a quartet; I play second violin.
Second position is hard for me... I can go higher than that easily, but that one is hard for me for some reason.
I'm also doing suzuki. My teacher like... worships it.
And as for guitar - I just do that for fun. It was a free guitar, so why not learn how to play it?
I'd always wanted to play bass, so I got one and I haven't been playing that long but I'm not bad...
I play bass in two different bands.

I play the guitar. my favorite style of music to play on it is Thrash Metal, especially along to Slayer 3nodding really fast and fun ya know mrgreen I really don't know what my favorite song to play is though... I like to play the newest songs I learn on it the most I guess. I've been playing for about 3 - 4 years now... yeah not too long, but I'm pretty good for only 3 years or so. and for Classical music... well, I do like it I guess... same with Jazz. Metal has a lot of Classical and Jazz influence 3nodding

I play bass guitar, so double bass comes as a freebie!

It's hard for me to play loud, have a good sound AND keep my fingers on at the same time

I play the violin, and I'm (trying to) learning the guitar. But the violin is my obsession. I've had problems reaching with my fourth finger; along with louder vibrato notes. Any help? ^^

hm with the louder vibrato notes, id try doing a simple scale or passage, start out quiet with it and keep getting louder with it.. vibratos a thing everyone struggles with

with the fourth finger, sometimes its just your finger xD sometimes it helps to move your first off the string, although in higher positions its hard to get back down without it being there
