[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Do you play electric guitar?

Posted: 3/31/2012 5:48:37 PM EDT

I've been trying to play guitar since 1989. I get good at it sometimes when I'm really drunk.

I was in a garage band (a couple of them) when I was entering adulthood. It was a good experience. I encourage getting on stage.

This, I can't play any kind of instrument worth a damn past two drinks.

And yes I do play electric guitar.

Guitar is harder than riding a motorycle or driving a fast sports car to its limit. Or maybe the same. It's about making music.

I play air guitar sometimes if I'm in a really great mood.

Other than that, no.

I'm pretty good with G, C, D, A, and E. Other than that it's a no-go. Don't ask me to play a solo unless you want to hear 3 notes repeatedly.

Come to think of it, I would be fuckin badass in a punk band.

I've been annoying friend and relatives with various guitars since 1975.

No one yet has claimed I can play

Natural talent, I ain't got it

I've been playing since 1962. Played in bands in the mid and late sixties. Now I mostly just play my

Takamine acoustic, but I will pull the Telecaster out ever once in a while.

[#13]

yeah I learned when I was about 13

I played it pretty heavy until I was about 28, after that most the friends I knew who played as well, died or moved off, or turned to drug adicted fuck ups. with no one around to play with , i slowly stopped

I still cant play pretty good, when i feel like getting it out and fooling with it

i played in a band and was in several local concerts, never cared to show it off though, i learned just to entertain myself

No, but I still have all my guitars, amps, and pedals from when I did.

Haven't played one in years now.

Been playing off and on since 86'. Don't play very much anymore. Thinking about selling most of it now. I've got a Gibson Les Paul Custom and a Explorer, as well as a Marshall JCM800 reissue/Orange 4x12cab. Couple other small amps and another 1-2K in effects/recording equipment.

I'll play for a half hour or so every couple weeks. When I do, it's always the same stuff. I don't have any motivation to learn anything new.

Gave all 4 of them to my son. Buying a LP shortly.

I love tone in a guitar. Some of them are delightful to play, like an accurate fiream is to shoot.

I go through phases....been playing since 96.....have a couple of Strats and enjoy picking them up from time to time....

Yeah, I've posted these before.

Been playing for 22 years. Can't play for shit dunk, but few drinks before a show to take the edge off, does help.

I started playing middle school, and I was less than mediocre, I got decent at the 4 string electric bass, though, and played bass in two different garage bands.

I only played live with one of them and then only a few times.

Good times though, definitely builds character.

I haven't played any instrument in . . . years - my gun obsession takes up all of my extra cash

I have a pawn shop Ibanez EX-170 and a cheap amp. I suck.

Nope. I gave it a shot a few years ago but I just don't have it. I built a frankenstrat from an ash Warmoth body and the rest is all 57 reissue strat. It has beautiful tone and I can't play it for shit.
