Any guitar players?

Ive been practicing acoustic/electronic/bass guitar for the last year, heavily. Already know some piano and saxophone. It would be cool to chat with other musicians on this board.

I play. Self-taught though so I'm far from a virtuoso. Played in a few ska bands though. As long as you know enough to write your own songs you will be good. Guitar isn't all about shredding, that's important to note. Almost anybody can write a good song. Just keep plugging away and you will find it's gets better all the time. And don't crack your knuckles. You need those fingers nimble. What kind of music do you play?

I play a bit.If you're interfaced to your pc in anyway get Reaper multitracking software(it's reasonably priced but also works in the nag screen mode after trial with no purchase) , its got a ninjam plugin and you can jam with other people over the inet in what appears to be realtime but it's termed "faketime" because of latency that you will not get around over the inet you're actually playing a measure behind the other people. This plugin makes it possible and it's actually a good time when things come together, it can be a fucking mess though when they don't. Reaper is a nice program too.

Yeah i do.Self taught and been playing about 13 years.I can be pretty decent when i practice but i lack the motivation to learn much or practice anymore.But i still pick it up every day for a little jam. If you havent got it already you should look into guitar pro tab software.. really helps with learning songs.

I played back in the 80's and 90's, but still have most of my gear. Today I play mostly to entertain my daughter My heart has always been with the blues but I still love the heavy sounds I was jamming back in the day

been playing for 14 years, so i got a decent little arsenal of guitars built up. only play my strat or the gibson es though

hi. you got a guitar for 100 bucks! wow. That's one fo the reasons I got a 56k modem, to get guitar tabs. Now it is huge and everywhere and not based in OLGA archive, which I kinda liked. The first riff my friend ever taught me was the bassline to a Janes Addiction song, my dad really wants me to learn Bob Dylan songs but I'm one of those hardheads who want to write my own, and I do but never record 'em. I can sorta play the bassline to "How Many More Times" off Led Zep 1. Tea for one, it's probably mhy favorite since i quit listening. Can you play that?

play a little guitar, 5 string banjo is my main axe, play acoustic and electric, all styles, youd be surprised how well an electric banjo shreds.

ive been playing for 30 years, was a gutiar tech in a couple of bands, couple of roadie jobs (ever hear of doc holliday southern rock band in late 70s) i also have 4 axes,3 elec 1 acustic. i also have a 6 string banjo that plays like a guitar, and a bass. oh i play harmonica also just dont have the lung power anymore

right I've been playing a long time but not standing up in a band. I notice standing up and playing for about 12 minutes is enough. Especially when you's a smoker. when they're not easel scripted
