Guitar anyone? Electric or accoustic

[Chelsey]

I absolutely adore playing guitar! I've been playing since I was 16 and i'm still learning. I love classical and celtic folky style guitar meshed into fierce metal melancholy! I'm in the process of piecing a concept album together. Although my lack of skill is becoming a nuisance. I will totally persevere though! I have to I promised a really close now deceased best friend that I would. We shared a very strong musical bond and I don't want to let that slip away anymore than it has. So tell me what style of guitar do you play?

fingerstyle streel string

dobro

banjo

[Emo]

Ibanez dreadnought

Dont know how to play yet tho.

[TerriT]

Yeah, there are a lot of guitar players here. There's a thread pages long about guitar and nails lol.

[Joan]

I mainly play a nylon string. I don't play especially well, but it certainly helps me to relax

I'm looking forward to hearing the concept album when you're done

[V M]

Yes, I play a bit

[Cindy]

Yes, I play a bit

Under statement of the year!!!!

She is awesome, even if she is my sister.

Mostly I play rhythm guitar and have both a Washburn dreadnought and a Squire Strat. I also have an Ibanez Mikro Bass. It's scale length is a bit shorter than full-size, making it easier to adjust, for me, as the frets are closer together.

All of the above!  Been playing since 1977, been in many bands.  I used to build and repair them professionally.

I collect vintage Fenders and have a Lakewood dreadnought that I picked out from a huge pile.  Then there's the basses and the amp stacks.

I forget how many I have these days, but it's more than 25, less than 30.

Sadly, carpal tunnel limits me to about 2 hours a day and that's not enough to keep me functioning at a professional level.

acoustic and electric. on some days i prefer acoustic, on others electric. and of course it depends on what i'm playing.

[Sarah Rose]

I own an ibanez gio

.... Not the most expensive little guitar but it certainly gets the job done.
I only know a few songs but I really enjoy it. The latest one I've been playing is "No Reflection, Marilyn Manson"

[CalmRage]

i've been trying to nail "Pictures Of Home" by Deep Purple this weekend. I always loved its hook.

[Marieee]

Yes pleasantly surprised by all the guitarists here!

Nylon acoustics sound really nice, but I never understood how to restring those , do you have to tie the strings at the bottom?

Owned a lot of guitars actually: PRS SE 22 &  24, epiphone les paul pro fx, epi lp custom, epi sg maestro.

Now Im left with an epi lp standard pro with a jb pickup, and an Ibanez rg170dx.

What? I like epiphone its affordable!

[CalmRage]

i'm playing a squire strat now.

[MadeleineG]

Nothing wrong with epi.

I play a Sheraton II and it sounds indistinguishable from an ES-355

[Ltl89]

I've played guitar since I was 11.  For the most part I've been an electric guitar player, but I've been focusing much more on classical the past year or so (although I suck at it).  I'm all over the place in terms of styles and interests (prog, metal, punk, folk and classical being my music generes).  My main electric is a gibson sg that I was given as a child and my classical is a Manuel Rodriguez.  I love both, but unfortunately the g string on each guitar never properly tunes.  It drives me insane, especially on my classical guitar.

Gasp those Sheratons are really nice! Wow isn't it crazy how epiphone sounds a lot more like Gibson now than say even 5 years ago?? They just keep getting better IMO.

Gotta love that JB pickup.  I have two guitars with a JB in the bridge position.

You may need your nuts* filed and lubed if the strings are binding there.  Pencil lead makes great nut lube in a pinch.

I have never played an SG. 

Always figured that, if I bought a solid body, I'd go tele.
