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

Ibanez dreadnought

Dont know how to play yet tho.

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

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

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.

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"

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

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!

i'm playing a squire strat now.

Nothing wrong with epi.

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

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.
