Anyone Here Play Guitar?

I have a fender telocaster and i have been playing about 6 years and believe or not youtube.com is where i learned alot of the songs i play, i learned by ear so i dont read tabs but scales is good and alternate picking if you know what that is. Alternate picking is when you pick up and down.

im glad to see that theres quite a few fellow guitar players up here on RIU, i started playing guitar 12 years ago, since then ive aquired quite a collection, my latest addition was the fender jagstang (kurt cobain signature) its a beautiful sounding guitar, my favorite kind of music to play is older 60's and 70's stuff, i love jamming some older hendrix , zeppelin, beatles, marley...as well as 90's music like sublime, slightly stoopid, weezer....anything with some intricate smooth riffs. most of the music that i write is all blues guitar

acoustic

I've been playing guitar now for about 12 years. I started on a cheap ass Harmony and have gradually made my way to my Les Paul(sunburst) and my American Fender Strat(black).

I taught myself how to play by ear and some tabs. I can read sheet music due to the fact that I've also played the tenor sax for 8 years as well.

Lately I've been playing the Beatles' white album. Going back to the beginning I guess you could say.

The LP Studio is a really neat guitar, I had a lot of fun with mine before I needed to finance my first grow. With any luck I'll be able to finally replace her by the end of the year.

I've had my eye on a deluxe American Strat, but I may end up getting a LP knock-off. Just can't afford another Gibby, though I think I would be satisfied with the following reasonable facsimile:

It's only 1/10th the price of a silverburst Les Paul Custom.

Hey guys I am new to roll it up, I play some guitar and really enjoy writing my own music. I love the extra creative edge smoking gives me when I play, there is nothing I would rather do stoned than play guitar... so i was just wondering if anyone knew any particular strand which is best for inspiring creativity for making music or does it matter. I never really cared before about strands before but now I have a very large selection to choose from, so any suggestions?

do air guitars count?

yea I play.. I also play drums,piano,bass and DJ.. The last guitar I bought was a cheap Douglas w/ a floyd rose.. This one..




Its just something to mess around with.. If anyone is looking to get a nice quality guitar for cheap I HIGHLY suggest going to http://www.rondomusic.com/ . His prices are awesome ( cheapest ive seen ) and his guitars are great.. I got the douglas above for $120.00 shipped!.. The action is low and quick and only very little fret buzz ( on the A string ). I didnt even adjust it at all.. ( partly cuz im too lazy lol ).

I doubt ill be buying another guitar in the near future.. But if I did ( and if I had the money lol ), I would love to get an Ernie Ball Axis ( Music Man ) .. Check it out..

^Sweet looking guitars there.

oh btw.. I use this software called "amplitube" to hook up my guitar to my pc ( using line in ) that takes the place of any amp or effects box you need. Its really cool.. Check it out here > http://www.ikmultimedia.com/amplitube/features/ .

I have all the versions but I mainly use Amplitube Metal.. Really good EVH tones can be had..I tried "Guitar Rig" but its not as good as Amplitibe.

I got mine, erm... free , from here > http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/4579210/IK_Multimedia_All_Products_KeyGen_v1.8_(including_Amplitube_Meta .. That torrent works 100%.. Its the one I have..Try it, you will prolly like it!..

I play a Gibson SG out of a Marshall JCM 900. But, my favorite thing to do is to sit down with a Spanish nylon string. I love writing short little ditties without a pick. Anyone use Garage Band for Mac?

Check out my band. myspace.com/pieceofcake2008

im digging this music haha!

I just started playing again after an arm injury left me in a cast and PT on and off for 3 years.
When I was younger I was a guitar whore, spent every extra $ I had on guitars.

Before I left for music school i had 14 in my collection. After my injury I had to seel them all to pay bills/survive. LOL the guitar $ lasted me almost a year.
Now I have 1 an Ibanez ART 300, nice guitar but I miss my ESP Kamikaze and will have another as soon as funds allow.

My arm seems OK so far so Im pretty stoked to be able to play again.

Anyone else enjoy getting down on your favorite six-string instrument? I got a Les Paul and I just recently invested in Orange Amplification. Everything sounds too sweet.

So does anyone have any cool websites or exercises they go over for certain things? I'm working on memorizing my scales to the point that I can find their position in any key really fast and without having to look at my notebook.
