guitar players...
 

Hello all... just wondered how many members on here play the guitar and for how long? What kind of stuff do you play? Iv been playing for about 2 years and am kinda stuck with were to go. Don't have a teacher some trying to learn myself. :D

I'm 47 and been playing since I was 15. I enjoy playing everything from blues through to real heavy metal. I consider myself to be an accomplished guitarist and could hold my own in most company. My problem is I am very very shy, it took being with my wife for 3 years before I would play in front of her.

My dad says playing the guitar gave him little holes in his fingers.. Is this true or was he kidding me?

i drum lol

Ive been playing guitar about 10 years on and off. Tend to play oasis,stone roses, RHCP and other indy kind of stuff. Or play older stuff like hendrix ect aswell. But recently took up the drums also :) got a nice pearl drum set and 5 guitars now.

DW kit FTW :-)

I tend to play things like rhcp, foo fighters, Neil young and pearl jam to name a few. I wouldn't say I'm brilliant but ok. Not a oyster of confidence in front of others but after a few ill give it a go :D but then it just sounds even worse. Lol has anyone ever posted a YouTube video playing?

I play in a band in Dublin, Keywest. A few of our tunes on You Tube but here is a cover we did


And an acoustic song I did a couple of years back

I like that cover, James Lock. Welcome to the forum! :thumb:

Thank you Mr Taylor. I heard you strummed a bit yourself?

James


If you like some rock try "Road to Damnation" by Keywest on Spotify. Volume 11 of course.

Memories :)

I pick up the guitar from time to time.

More people than I thought.... we should make a band :D

I know exactly what you mean, I keep hitting a wall every so often with the guitar. You reach a point and kinda loose interest a bit and plateu.

I played acoustic guitar from 15 then jumped to the electric, went off it a bit for a few years and then learned slide guitar to keep my interest, went off that after a while and took up the bass guitar a few years ago to add another bow to my string so it were. I quite enjoy the bass guitar as its a very subtle instrument, its fairly easy to get good at it and when you are fairly acomplished you dont have any problem finding a band to play in. Bass players are very thin on the ground ;)

Wow, very good. :cool:

Sorry, a bit slow here :D but just worked out that you are David's son, JL. Your Dad is very proud of you, and he has every reason to be. :thumb:

I'm predominantly a bass player , (20yr ish)
Always dabbled in guitar and for the last 4/5 year been steadily playing guitar more and more , if I find I'm hitting a wall with the guitar I'll put it away for a while and try another day
The wierd thing I find is my bass playing never really varied with mood or amount of time I spent playing
Yet with the guitar I have very good days or awfull sounding days
Probably the old dog new tricks scenario kicking in

Fair cop. Yeah the old boy has been pretty supportive over the years :)

Glad you like my tunes.
