who plays guitar?

[xVT. RIDERx]

i do. i've been playing for almost two months now, but i love it lol. i have a Squire electric, and i just bought a Washburn acoustic yesterday. yea. i was just curious if anyone else played.

[ADRsk8boarder]

yea ive been playing for bout 4 or 5 years i have a taylor acoustic

[undeadkiller]

i play bass and guitar. my rig is an american fender transparent blue telecaster and B-52 double tube combo.

my bass is just a fender p-bass.

and the acoustic i play (not really mine, but i play it alot) is a 1960somethin fender KING acoustic (valuable).

if you practice alot on acoustic it really improves your electric skills.

[jonnygee]

ive been playing guitar and bass for like 7 years now just started the drums this past year. i love playing my guitar i play everything i hear... 4 guitars 1 half-smashed accoustic (funny story behind that), 3 bass, 1 drum set.

[DRE]

Ive been playing for awhile.

[SNOWBOARDING_IS_AWESOME]

ive been playing bass for about a month.
i have a epiphone came in a package.

and i have a tendency to play drums

[undeadkiller]

good luck man! i remember my first month of bass. it is so much fun.

[DragonUSMC]

guitar 20 years, bass for a few, just started dabbling in drums, piano for a few, vocal, and i used to play the trombone in Jr. High.

Gretsch Electromatic projet
Gretsch Brian Setzer HotRod, soon to have a white falcon.
71 Fender Start, Warlock Plat., couple ESPs and a few acoustics... most of the acoustics are my old man's, the 71 was his but he doesnt play too much electric anymore.

[e.]

i can play your mom

[ADRsk8boarder]

i can play my flute

[xVT. RIDERx]

lol, yea, is like, punk rock played with distortion on or off? it sounds right with the distortion. but i wanna be sure.

[xVT. RIDERx]

oh, also, i write lyrics, and i'm a sub par vocalist. :( i need to work on my voice.

[xVT. RIDERx]

haha my friend has a drumset, and every time i'm there i sit down and play it for a bit. just goofing around trying different things.

[Alford88]

Ive played for nearly two years love it as i can jus sit down n start playin! Have a mexican fender tele and some old acoustic guitar that i dnt have a clue what it is but sounds pretty gd!

[undeadkiller]

punk is played with distortion 95% of the time. however, there are some cases, for instance, the dead milkmen, where very light distortion, or no distortion is used. i would say just do what you think sounds good. use heavy distortion or no distortion, just use what sounds good to you. or switch distortion intensity around and just do whatever.

[SNOWBOARDING_IS_AWESOME]

i saw the guitar that i want in a buyers guide
it's the dean dimebag darrell dixie rebel.

[SNOWBOARDING_IS_AWESOME]

[La Honda]

I'm just starting to learn to play the guitar and I'm so STOKED! It's a lot harder than it looks, but I think that's why it appeals to me. I'm such a n00b tho, it's so sad. I'm having fun though, so I suppose that's what counts :happy:

[SNOWBOARDING_IS_AWESOME]

ya once you get the hang of it it's a lot of fun.
i need a new strap for my bass. the one i have now keeps coming off.
and once i didnt catch it and it hit my concrete floor and took off all the paint down to the wood on the head of the guitar. i was so pissed.

[xVT. RIDERx]

you could just by straplocks?

[Sprogy]

I play guitar. Have for about 3 or 4 years....daaaanngg 3 or 4 years? i cant believe that ive been playing that long.

anyways, i love it. i like to write my own songs and im trying to start a band.

i have noodles' (from the offspring) signiture duct tape guitar and just another acoustic

[szaarh]

[ADRsk8boarder]

[snowboarding_bear]

[Sprogy]

yeah ive been playin since about 3rd grade...and i still have no clue how to read music...haha i just repeat whati hear

lol i can't read music either....i used to be able to but since i switched to tabs....i cant read music at all

[ADRsk8boarder]

yea i cant read music so i just use tabs

[DragonUSMC]

learning to read music and understanding music theory will help you write your own stuff.

Also for you lead guitarists who are stuck in "the box", this will help you learn how chord structure and scale progression are one in the same and you will break out of this box!!

Its easy to teach yourself to read music, just have to take the time to do it. =D

[xVT. RIDERx]

yea...i think i want to take music theory now...lol, i'm trying to write a song, with two months experience on guitar, but i know a bunch of chords...so...yea...i'll prolly fail miserably, but oh well...i wrote some amazing lyrics for it tho.

[wskubina]

learn the theory man. you'll REALLY appreciate it later. siriusly

[szaarh]

acoustics are the ****... its a magical weapon to get girls

haha true. hope it swings the other way though, thats what i need

[Boarder311]

I seriously wish I knew how to play. I think I'm going to get my sister's fiance to teach me he's actually pretty good at it.

[szaarh]

thats cool. it not all that hard if you accually wanna learn (tough my self)

[snowboarding_bear]

i write my own music...but i cant read music...lol..(i write lyrics...and i have a sound in my head and i just play it n have my friends write it dowwn) lol

[szaarh]

i write my own music...but i cant read music...lol..(i write lyrics...and i have a sound in my head and i just play it n have my friends write it dowwn) lol

ya it woudl be a nice thing

but with the guys liek that comes the girls that just snowboard for the label
got the $$ board and clothes and only carve down the hill.

or that in most cases.

[rosepose48]

wow do i know lots of situations like that....

[jawknee]

ya it woudl be a nice thing

but with the guys liek that comes the girls that just snowboard for the label
got the $$ board and clothes and only carve down the hill.

or that in most cases.

yea probly that really sucks though but there should be atleast ONE around here that would beable to do and has the cash for a seasons pass cus that would be awsome i dont think i would ever wanna leav her

.... wow just a bit off topic sry about that people

[szaarh]

ya u live here u shuodl know what im talkin about and they are all pretty to but w.e snowboarding is snowboard guys or no guys f*cking live it up

think of the guys as a bonus haha

[rosepose48]

i saw the most amazing couple of my life up at giants ridge... this really cute girl with long dark brown dreads and the cutest clothes of my life, with those gorgous tall shaggy snowboarder guy. They could both tear up the park like crazy too. i wish i was in that relationship hahah

[szaarh]

ya that woudl be cool. more reprect goes to a girl that acually boards :]

[jawknee]

damn that would be a sweet relation ship
specialy if both were in bands
that would kick ass

[szaarh]

hah theres an even better senerio (sp?) or mess around with acoustics atleast.

sorry <3 acoustic.

[jawknee]

acustic is nice but i really like electric
you can make some many difrent sounds
you can control the sound more
like acousitc to get a diffrent sound you got to get a diffrent guitar
electric its a twist of a nob

but i do like having an acustic nice when you try and write a slower more meaning full song and stuff and you can take it every were 2 boot

[szaarh]

ya te possiblities for a electric are great plus all the technocol thing u can add and what not. its great

just the orginality of an acoustic and like you said you can take it everywhere. its nice.

[rosepose48]

see accoustics are great for busting out around the campfire...:) go nature

[szaarh]

ya. hippie at <3

classic man.
nothgin like winging it with friends.

[Boarder311]

Yeah, I think I'll have to say I like acoustic better just because I do like that kind of sound and the whole portable thing works too.
Scenario:
You're a homeless person and your only means of getting money is people throwing money in your guitar case. Acoustics have bigger cases to fit more money AND you don't need an amp or anything. So the score tallies out to this:

Homeless person support guitar
Acoustic-1 Electric-0

Come on now, gotta face the numbers

[jawknee]

[szaarh]

hahaha i like the scenario you layed out right there
and all for it

yay homless man playing acoustic.

got to give props to the homless man to ya know.

[Boarder311]

Touche, jawknee. BUT what about an Electric-Acoustic? Now homeless man can play at the large hall too. rock on, homeless man. rock on.

[rosepose48]

ahahah i love this site.... Yeah support homeless musicians!!!

[szaarh]

hahaha

the homless man is just destined to play

[snowkat]

i think the appropriate question is who doesnt play guitar

ive been playing about 8 years, self taught

i have a classical acoustic, strat copy and a gibson les paul

[Torilovessnow]

i play bass guitar most the time but here and there when i can find a guitar mmm guitar is fun yes sir

[szaarh]

i almost started playign bass but dont knwo what happened

[rosepose48]

ugh fine i guess we can stop talking about hot guitar playing men and crazy homeless people

[szaarh]

guys and guitars.hott can talk about that anytime lol

the homeless man had his moments of fame which were cool

[jawknee]

ugh fine i guess we can stop talking about hot guitar playing men and crazy homeless people
oh yes good by homless guitar players and well me i guess :lol2:

[xVT. RIDERx]

haha true. hope it swings the other way though, thats what i need

well yea, it kinda does i guess, i'm into girls that play guitar. lol.

[szaarh]

well yea, it kinda does i guess, i'm into girls that play guitar. lol.

thats nice to hear. :]

never knew if guys liek girls that do the same thigns as them or ditsy chicks. i guess it depends on the person too.

[ADRsk8boarder]

girls that play drums is a plus

[szaarh]

ya dont come across alot of girl drummers. but cool when ya do.

[xVT. RIDERx]

hahaha, i'm into the coolest crowed ever, i know girls that play piano, drums, and guitar. though the one that plays guitar is the only one who really knows how to play their designated instrument. lol. but yea it does depend on the guy. i'm personally into more "bohemian" girls if you will, (at first i thought that was like Jamacian, but my friend rose explained it meant someone who doesn't go along with the masses and tries to be different), so yea. other guys like ditzier chicks. lol. enough about me tho lol, i kinda feel like i'm sharing too much...oh well...i'm an open book.

[szaarh]

(non bohemian?)i dont get why people try and be int the "in crowd" and be like everyone else. its boring.yur all alike. i really dont get it.

[Vicky]

I've decided that I completely suck at playing guitar, and there is no hope for me :(
lmao

[szaarh]

hahah. funny but also sad. theres alot of other intsruments out there

[ADRsk8boarder]

play the trombone

[szaarh]

if ya kind of got guitar play bass...

[l3obby33]

I play bass :)
i'm decent not great but not horrible
anyone else that does that can give me tips on getting better let me know

[szaarh]

i play guitar. kind of like bass. but tips i don tknow sorry dont really knwo how much difference there between the two

[sheil21ob]

just keep playing, it's all about the finger strength.... and the groove... it's more about the notes you don't play....

play a little bit before the beat to drive a song rock, punk) and a little bit after for an R&B backbeat feel....

pour rubbing alcohol on your callouses to dry them out....

that's it for now...
