Even though I can't play, I'd have to say the electric guitar.

 

[John_8581]

Cornelius Grant, lead guitar and the Funk Brothers (Earl Van Dyke, piano, James Jamerson bass guitar, Robert White, Joe Messina, and Eddie Willis, guitars, Mike Terry, trumpet, Paul Riser, trombone, Benny Benjamin, drums, Richard Allen, percussion and Jack Ashford, tambourine) who played in the background to David Ruffin lead vocalist, Eddie Kendricks, Paul Williams, Melvin Franklin and Otis Williams, background vocalists on "I Know, I'm Losing You" :bowdown:

^ So your favorite musical instrument is... ?

 

[Shorty V]

My favourite musical instrument is probably the human voice.
Although the violoncello comes close. It speaks in a special way.

And... it can dance, too.

Bass Guitar

 

[Little Red Wagon Repairman]

I go with electric guitar too.

 

[Prod3]

Definitely the electric guitar...the tones of Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Tony Macalpine, Yngwie Malmsteen, Dire Straits, Nightwish, Gamma Ray, Dream Theater, Judas Preist and Iron Maiden resonate with me the most

For me, it's the bassoon... is has such a distinctly pleasant sound quality :heart:
I like many genres of music. Ironically classical is not one of them.

Hopefully, you'll have high quality speakers or buds, so you can fully appreciate.

Bassoon solo begins at 05:20!

Lately, Smooth Jazz has become my go-to genre for music, of which electric guitar (#2) and sax (#3) are my faves, sound-wise.

 

[Mr. Daystar]

I love the sound of a Hammond B3, with Leslie speaker cabinets.

I'd recommend some Kenny G on that note if you've not listened to any of his stuff already...although Kenny usually plays an Alto Sax which has a higher range


Love these two tracks by Iona too which feature both electric guitar and sax working together very nicely, although its not Smooth Jazz but a bit more Celtic Rock

 

[Supafly]

The older I get, the more this is what I love to hear:

The Blues? What Blues... I can honestly say I'm in a better mood after watching and listening to this
Very cool clip - thanks, Supa! :glugglug:

Kenny G is very good... saw him live about 10 years ago. But my main "sax guy" is David Sanborn.

The following track entitled Benny, imo, best demonstrates Mr. Sanborn's jaw-dropping talent and immense musicianship as arguably [in his prime],
the greatest saxophonist the world has ever seen!

 

[gmase]

Electric guitar. I've always had a liking for big boobs and live, extended guitar solos. Hendrix jamming Voodoo Child (Slight Return), Garcia meandering through Dark Star, The Outlaws plowing through Green Grass and High Tides, Page in the middle of Stairway to Heaven, Nugent working through Hibernation, and the bands play on ...

 

[Shorty V]

[...] I've always had a liking for big boobs and live, extended guitar solos. [...]

I really like this sentence. It's almost poetry. :heart:

I also really relate to the boobies.
As for musical instruments, I'm gonna stick to my own preferences though.

 

[luis1972]

Drums!!!

 

[pool_hustler]

But my main "sax guy" is David Sanborn.

I'm voting sax too.

So many great individual sex players down through time. Sanborn is certainly in that field.

So is Stanley Turrentine

Not necessarily a consistently all time great, but he sure was on this particular night :bowdown: ...Johnny Almond...
