I know I'm not the only one that plays guitar around here...

Who else?

What guitar(s) do you have?

How did you start liking guitars?

I'm start with an example of myself:

Fender Squier Stratocaster;

y? All started when I found Dance eJay, quite some time ago, then advanced to Techno eJay, lately I've learned to use more advanced music production softwares and I tried out the guitar. Now I spend my time with the guitar, mixing some music and making some music

i only really play drums, but i lke to try and play guitar and piano among others abit. my dad has this sort of old acoustic guitar, which is rather big for me, but im teaching myself, and anyone's i can get my hands on at band practice. =p most of the stuff i play is nice easy to listen shizzle like get cape wear cape fly, and smooth little numbers if you know what i mean. dont have a favourite guitar, as i dont know what any of them are called

drums is something I've always wanted to try too

Here's a website from where you can learn a lot:

Justin Guitar

drums his hard, 4 limbs at the same time, and the amount of people that have asked me to try and teach them, the just give up after 10 minutes =p

fun to do though, and good for and-eye coordination.

hey thanks for the link, i think ill bookmark that one =]

I play guitar. My dad used to manage bands back in the day and so he had a few guitars and can play quite well. Bought me an acoustic when I was like 8, I got my first electric when I was like 12(Yamaha). Now I have a Fender Squire Stratocaster, Obey graphics edition.

I suck at drums ;< Bout only thing I can do is simple beat or double bass

I want a Jackson though ;_;

my favourite guitarist is jimmy hendrix, not just because he was good, but because of the way he played the songs he did, and how he learnt and grew up, childhood etc. im not too keen on satriani, he's really good but not my sort of music. i was stuck listening to him at work experience in HMV for two whole weeks

thats because he's travis barker, and he owns on drums, he's not just good, he OWNS! =p bloody fast when he wnts to be too =p

http://youtube.com/watch?v=WPncumXZExo >>> he's rather good too, shits all over me anyway =p

Ok, I live for music. So here we go.

First, we have my classical guitar, lovely for chord playing, can't beat its sound, anything else though and its worse than useless.



After that we have my crappy 'lil Yam ERG 121. Part of a starters kit thing, had it awhile.



See though, I am at heart a bass player so....



This one be me on stage with my Musicman Stingray, god I love that thing.

And this one be my latest acqusition, a Shine 5 string bass. You know, because you need the extra bit on the low end.



This last one is me playing a Gibson Les Paul (unfortunately not mine) in the studio. It was a mates, he was producing the session, which incidentaly was for his own project, so he gave me the lend of it.



I've allways been into music, I started off like most do, classically. So I learned to play the trumpet. A long while after I started to pick up other brass instruments, they are all fundamentally the same, just in different keys and whatever.

I'd been brought up on a strict diet of "cock rock". So it was no surprise that I wanted to be like any of them on stage. It wasn't until fortune pushed one of my mates who played trumpet with me onto the drums in our band.  Not long after he started his own rock band. A year later he sacked his guitarist, the bass player moved onto guitar and he chucked me a bass & told me to learn it & be at rehersal on Friday. Soon after he gave me lessons on the drums and last year I taught myself the guitar.

Now wasn't that a long post

I have an acoustic [don't ask me what it is] and I aquired a Classical one but I badly need to get both guitars restrung, not so much the acoustic although I think the strings are more likely to go now that I've started playing with a plectrum again.

It started when I was about 11/12 when one of my primary school teachers taught us. I was one of the first to pick up the whole playing and singing at he same time thing. I never took it seriously and even in high school despite getting lessons I could never pick the whole finger picking thing up.

I'll have been playing for almost 9/10 years but it's only been recently that I've started teaching myself how to play again and taking it much more seriously and have considered...busking!

Yeah it does require concentration. But considering that I chord songs (in an unofficial capacity in one case) to play myself just by listening to the music, being able to sing it back to yourself is a must

I haven't got to the point I can listen and play just from listenning (ultimate-guitar is a very good friend of mine)

Ultimate-guitar has been a good friend to me too and sometimes if it's a song that I've done myself and I compare it to someone else, it tends just to have been chorded in a different key

Chording by listening is all about trial and error. Some things will work, some won't.

Air Guitar

Yeah, once I was training some chords and I though 'humm... this chord looks just like the one in Leva-me contigo's song guess what, got it right XD


I had to put the name of the song, because it's a very beautiful song, only acoustic guitar and singer - Duarte Rosado -. Check it      link

One of my favourite bands, Def Leppard, the drummer actually only has one arm. I saw them live in concert a few weeks ago, and they were absolutely amazing. I also play the drums and find it hard enough with 2 arms, amazing to see someone play with only one arm.

As for guitar, I like to think I can play a little accoustic, but I really have no idea what Im doing, lol. Slowly trying to learn though when I have the time to.
