Off Topic The Guitar Players Thread

I know they're a few of us on here.

So post anything...Youtube vids, gear, songs etc

I start about 5 and half years ago. Very rarely miss a day picking it up.

I've set myself a challenge. If I practice every day for 3 months I'll buy myself a Fender American Professional Strat.

 

First song I ever learned properly...

Been playing for about 7 or 8 years now, as a lefty it was a bit annoying trying to find the correct stuff to play, as I just could not force myself to do it right handed. Did try to do a Hendrix and play a right-hander upside down, but that didn't last long as I'm not bloody Jimi Hendrix.

Since I got my left handed Fender Jaguar, I've been on it most nights since. Although recently, I've been messing about with synthesisers and keyboards a lot more, need to get back onto my Jag.

 

Guitar players thread? That's me out then

 

I once did an episode of the Monkees, sat in a car with Mike Nesmith, I did.

 

I've heard you're more of a guitar collector then a player

 

Haven't touched my guitars for years. Only just got my amp back, I leant it to a mate to do a gig with and he just sort of gigged around with it. I've got a full studio somewhere in a box in the loft as well which hasn't been used for years either as I lost my cubase key

My time is spent on more profitable pursuits nowadays.

 

I have an acoustic guitar - gave up trying to play it years ago.

I have taken up the triangle instead. I'm pleased to report I'm a master at that instrument.

 

Triangle is about my level

Just

 

Yes Filey

I can at a push do the tambourine

 

Who told you that? It's true. Maybe I'll stop with the guitars and collect... Oh I don't know, trainers?

 

Don't start on trainers

 

i have a flying-V ukulele.

 

Something I always would have liked to have done, but never got round to it, think I am a bit passed it now to start.

 

I have a 12 string Yamaha that I can't master.

I have a semi accoustic Takamine that I can't put down.

I also have a semi accoustic ukelele thats been out of it's case once. Magnificent peice of craftsmanship but I haven't got a clue what to do with it.

 

I'm with you John for the same reasons.

 

I have an Epiphone 6 string electric, a 12 string acoustic and a 6 string acoustic, I also have a very old Hofner in the Hank Williams style. I still play them all (badly) except the Hofner that needs some restoration, and whilst my fingers are still able too. I sometimes even write my own stuff, for personal consumption of course but I have a programme on my computer that allows me to add my own backing tracks. Just wished that I had learned the piano as well.

 

How many sides are you up to Filey? I'm still a relative beginner on one side, but hoping to progress to two in the near future.

 

Twelve strings have a bit of a reputation for going out of tune rather easily, I have an electronic gadget that makes tuning my guitars a breeze.

 

For anyone wishing to learn Guitar, this guy knows his onions...

I have a 6 string acoustic, 12 string acoustic, 2 out of rhythm hands & 10 out of sync digits.

They’re now collecting dust in the loft.



@Quill - I’m sure the 12 string is a left handed one. If it’s any use to you I’ll dig it out & get it to you.
