guitar players come here!
 

I have nothing important to say, but I just wanted to see who all the guitar players are on mustangworks and what kid you play.

I play acoustic about 95% of the time. I only play my electric (Alvarez) when I go home from college. And I dont think my neighbors in my apartment would like hearing me blast some distortion:)

My Acoustic is a Martin DM that I got for HS graduation in May of 2000. I absolutely love it, but it still doesn't compare to my dad's 1983 Martin D-28. That thing sounds awesome, even if you suck!

I've been playing for about 7-8 years. My first guitar was a baby blue Charvette (made by Charvel) and it weighed what seemed to be 30lbs :eek:

I play alot of Incubus, Creed, Stevie Ray Vaugn (yes it is hard on acoustic), as well as other older and newer rock-type stuff.

Here's a few links to a couple of the Tab sites that I visit.

Hey, I've been playing for a little over 10 years now. My first guitar (steel-stringed acoustic) was a cheap Sevice Merchandise guitar that I bought with my own money for $52 (plus tax).

Now I play electric (cheap Encore-- looks like Gibson-- sounds good enough though), acoustic steel-stringed (handmade Monarch), and Ibeniz GA5 classical guitar.

I play pretty much all of Metallica stuff (pre-Reload) , Pantera, and music from many metal bands (mostly metalcore, black and death metal). Play much classical music also.

I've been recently focusing more on classical/baroque pieces: Bach's Bouree, Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring, Leyenda, Villanella, and many others.

And of course, anyone who's played for a while is gonna have a lot of songs they've written themselves, I do. LOVE GUITAR AS MUCH OR MORE THAN I LOVE MUSTANGS.

One thing's for sure, if a song is one of the top ten at your local radio station, then most likely I DON'T play it.

I also play the recorder...but then again, who doesn't.

Good thread, take care.

I've only been playing for about 2 years. I play a jasmine Takamine (acoustic/electric). I love it...I really wanna get a Takamine EN-10C...whoever knows which one i'm talkin about is probably aggreeing with me.lol I also have started playign some bass...it's pretty fun. Cool thread. adios

Axes to grind...
 

1) 1961 Flame red Stratocaster
2) 1987 Strat Plus Bloack with maple neck set up as a Clapton with 3 Fender-Lace Golds and locked bridge
3) 1997 Taylor 710 Brazilian - one of 100

I played in a rock band that did a national tour - I was 15!

I play a 1969 Fender Strat with 3 active pickups and mid range boost. It even has a flat neck! I've been playing for about a year now. I also have a cheapy Ibanez accoustic.

A friend of mine has a Jasmine as well, its a very nice guitar.

Fox Body, for my first 3-4 years of playing, about 80% of what I played was Metallica too. They used to put out some awesome music with some really killer guitar parts, but now its another story

I have been playing for 6 years now. I never took lessons or anything so I can't read sheet music just tabs.
I started off with a old Ibanes electric and played it for 5 years. I now have a Ibanes RG seris and play the thing about 1 hour a day.
I'm not in a band I just play to music on my CD's (mostly old metallica, rage, and some megadeath).

I've been playing for about 2 1/2 years. I've got a Les Paul flame top, a Washborn acusitc, and a Crate gutiar that was my first(it's for sale)

I'm a fair guitar player. I've got a friend that's GREAT. He practices like 8 hours a day, he lives for it. When he first got his guitar he actully played it so much that his fingers started bleading:eek:

Okay, I'll share my new desktop. Kinda weird how these things time themselves.

Take care,

well im not a guitar player, but i mess around with mine time to time. when i get a chance i want to take lessons. i have a Washburn D10 acoustic. its not the greatest guitar, but it seems to be a good one for beginners.

Chris, i dig your desktop! that is pretty cool.

I know what you mean, man. Their music was literally where most of my learning came from. I would listen to their music and learn it.

PKRWUD, that saying that you have in your sig: "Lack of planning on your part, does not constitute an emergency on my part" fit me to a "T" tonight. :( A lady I know called me early this morning to play (guitar) a few special selections (of my choice) for a valentine's banquet. I told her, "Naaah, I don't like playing in spur-of-the-moment situations", she kept pushing. I told her again, I don't wanna play b/c I am currently out of practice and prefer to be given at least a week in advance if I'm to play. She started talking about her problems and why she didn't have a chance to call me earlier. I told her, Look, I don't want to offend you, but I don't like to get myself into these types of situations, especially when I won't know MOST of the people there-- it's just uncomfortable and bad practice. She begged, "it doesn't matter if you're out of practice, please I really need your help" and I ALMOST said (b/c I've seen the quote in your sig many times): "Lack of planning on your part, does not constitute an emergency on my part", but I didn't. :( and gave in. I don't want to be a cold, hard, heartless snob, and I can handle my own, believe me, but since I hadn't previously made plans during the time I would be playing, I said "OKAY, I'll play a couple of songs and then I'm leaving" (in a nice way). Plus, if I can use my talent to help someone else out, then so be it. When it's all over, I was glad to help out. I just don't like people putting me on the spot.

Anyway, that gives me personal meaning to the quote in your sig. :)
