Guitarists

Out of curiosity, how many guitarists do we have here, and what equipment do you use? Did you take lessons, or are you self-taught? Any memorable moments?

I have a Fender Strat (cheap guitar, but not a bad deal for the money), and I might be getting an Ibanez soon. I also have an acoustic guitar, which I admittedly play less, though I keep it in good shape. It's both more expensive and better quality than the Fender, though you could say I'm comparing apples and oranges.

Electric bass player here. I play the guitar as well, let's face it, it's a lot easier than the bass. No offence. :yes:

I air guitar here. My amp is a General Electric radio from the 80's or possible the 70's. :thrasher:

Eleteric Guitarist here! I own a Gibson SG, and I got a 150 Watt fender amp.

When I used to own the smallest music store in Canadian history, I had a lovely '72 Gibson SG. Couldn't play worth a gopher's kidneys, but with the guitar run through a whole floor full of Boss peddles, who needs to know how to play?

Lol, good one!
:laugh4:

I play both. Bass and well electric, but also classic guitar. :2thumbsup:

I've got a basic Ibanez steel string acoustic. I can play a grand total of 1½ songs.

I play Guitar and used to play Bass. I've got a Fender Squier Strat :grin:

I bought my first guitar in Canada, almost on impulse. It was a store in Lindsay, Ontario called Van Halterns. I still use them for customer support or special parts, because I can call them from Germany and have them tell me what to do or give me a recommendation, without any trouble (my guitar teacher knows them, I was surprised to find out. Small world). I'd pay extra shipping on parts from there, of course, so most of my parts I get locally from Musik Klier here in Nürnberg.

I play bass. No idea what type, it's old (probably from the late 70s), heavy, and puts out a sweet sound.

My air guitar playing sounds a lot better than when I try the normal guitar, so I stick to that.

We should start an air band:thrasher:
The Cool Cats

Used to be able to play a little acoustic, but I think that by now the strings are too old and will fall apart upon touch.

Do you play any other instruments?

Used to be able to play the trombone, but got bored with it. At the end I played jazz songs mainly, but quit it at some point.

Had guitar lessons for about a year and a half while I was in college...

now that i´m working I really can´t find the patience to practice even when I have some free time...

I have a really cheap generic acoustic guitar and a Samick Interceptor II electric
