Oh, there’s more than just guitar.
How many of these other air classics have you pulled off?
1. Air drums. Riding shotgun and nailing solos on the dashboard or cooking dinner and feeling the beats on the kitchen counter, you either go with the My-Fingers-Are-Drumstricks method or the My-Fists-Are-Holding-Air-Drumsticks method. Both sound excellent.
2. Air Keyboard. No Air Resume is complete without some strong Air Keyboard experience. Nail it by squeezing your eyes shut, raising your brows, biting your lip, and swaying back and forth.
3. Air Harmonica. Using sparingly for Bruce Springsteen and Tom Petty songs.
4. Air Cow Bell. If you master Air Cow Bell, be prepared to be invited to all the coolest parties and hottest dances. Bonus points for playing with a giant, open-mouthed smile and wildly bobbing head while being really, really tall.
Yes, rocking out in a state of air-playing bliss is one of life’s great joys. When you’re in the zone there’s a tear in the fabric of space-time and you’re suddenly transported to a sold out Air Stage in front of millions and millions of sweaty screaming Air Fans.
Your big buckets of passion and never-ending supply of energy helps keep our planet spinning, so pump those fists, nail those high notes, and rock on, rock star, rock on.
AWESOME!

Steering Wheel Drums are also awesome. If instruments had farm teams, they’d be the farm team to air drums.

heh, I was just doing this today. Drums. Awesome.

There’s nothing better than when you and a few friends spontaneously form an air band, and everyone chooses a different instrument, and the moment isn’t ruined by fighting over who gets to play guitar. AWESOME!

Awesome

Air Guitar is the original guitar hero.

Yes!! I love this! Especially the air cow bell! That is just awesomeness!

No! Your forgot the air triangle!
It’s funny how a triangle, even when real, is considered an instrument.

Who could forget the air sax! Definately one of my favs! Smooth jazz baby!
November 11, 2009 at 10:50 am
Air Sax is mandatory when listening to “Hip to Be Square” by Huey Lewis and the News.

Hah! Air harmonica has played a big role in my Bob Dylan listening experiences.

Air drums are fine. Drumming-anything-within-reach drums annoy me. :-P

Greetings from Oulu, Finland – The city where they actually hold an Air guitar championship-contest each and every year! Been there many times, always love, love, loooove it!

AWESOME!

ha! I was in an air band contest in college. And i have horribly embarrassing pics to prove it.
But, you’re right… it was an awesome experience.

Air Tambourine is a fave of mine, but nothing beats the simplicity of air bass. All it takes is a mean pout and a bit of understated finger action.
November 11, 2009 at 11:17 pm
Technically that “air family” pictured has instruments (or should I say kitchen utensils?), but I suppose the sentiment is the same. :) Love your blog, by the way. I look forward to reading your posts each day!

I like playing the Air Air Guitar. I just stand still.
It really looks like I’m pretending to play an Air Guitar, doesn’t it?
November 12, 2009 at 1:29 am
Air Saxophone is a lot of fun… Namely used for that song Baker Street or whatever its called…
November 12, 2009 at 5:34 am
*da da da CHIANG!*
Just love drumming in air. Or occasionally piano on air. XD Lovely. XD
Though i can’t play both un-aired. =X

My 4 year old nephew is the king of forming spontaneous air bands. Everyone must participate.
The last air band was created at my grandma’s 80th birthday party. I was delegated to Air Tambourine, while others were on piano and drums. My nephew lead us all with his air guitar while signing “Smoke on the Water”.
Truly awesome.
November 12, 2009 at 2:15 pm
Oh jeez, you don’t even understand. I am the greatest air musician who has ever lived.
This is your best post so far.
November 16, 2009 at 12:23 pm
Great movie about air-drumming.
November 18, 2009 at 7:31 pm
This is a passion of mine, actually.
November 18, 2009 at 8:34 pm
I ALWAYS air-drum to the solo bridge in Phil Collins’ “In the Air Tonight”, without fail (and once I’m done with that, promptly change the station). AWESOME!
November 19, 2009 at 12:30 pm
That’s my favourite drum bridge, too! Once on a road trip when this song came on (I was sitting shot-gun), I just reached my hands up and nailed that drum bridge on the ceiling of the car. No one expected it, and it was executed perfectly. Awesome!

What a great piece to have found before Thanksgiving. I posted a link to this as one of my three links on my daily blog: http://www.otherthoughtfortheday.blogspot.com/
All the best,
