Guitar playing, anybody?

[charleytown55il]

I might record something in a few days. I have played for 2 years. Although I'm not a bad player, I'm usually more interested in tinkering with my tube amps or my guitars.

If I can get the vid of me and my band at our last concert (The tap room in ann arbor MI if anyone is near there) I would post it but Ill have to take a vid at our next concert (2-3 weeks). Im almost 12 and this is my 9th year, soon to be my 10th.

EDIT: I have a gibson melody maker (new version) and a Gretsch electromatic.

Sure, post all vids of you playing!

Sorry, you say you are 12 years old? And what do 9th and 10th year old means?

I know of misunderstood you...

Year and a half, impressive, you should be ahead of me by a lightyear or two [hundreds]. Videos please! :thanks:

Heh, I wish. I had more skill with the trumpet than the guitar, but the trumpet isn't exactly something your friends would listen to

Mainly I've just learned rhythm, no leads for me lol.

No you heard me right. Ive been playing since I was 3. I played classical till I was 5, then changed to rock. Now I play rock and blues and am studying jazz. My band plays at local bars and coffee shops now and then every few weeks.

Holy sh*t
Reminds me of Michael Angelo Batio... if Wikipedia is to be trusted, he started playing a guitar at age of 10. At age of 12, he played far better than his mentors and teachers.

I mean, look at this crazy dude:


Post videos!

ReNNo here also plays the trumpet!

Actually when I think about it, I'm also playing a guitar for a year and a half... but since I'm at dorm, and can't exactly carry a guitar back and forth, I'm only playing through weekends, and not every weekend at that too, so take one seventh of the year and a half, and that's about my time

 

[Eudaimonium]

Well, I play better than a lot of 18+year olds but not even close to as good as my teacher.

EDIT: Yknow what? Ill just post a ~30 sec vid of me alone when I get home...

Please do that. You most certanly dwarf me by far, and that's what I always want to see.

What do you play usually? How about that Trooper?

I have an old Martin D-35. I used to play Bluegrass but haven't touched it much for a while. Time has a way of slowing the fingers down :-(

I just googled "Basic guitar chords" and started from there.

Also, acoustic guitars are best ones to learn on.

yeah i think i could do that ( i was to lazy to search first ghehe )

and yes i was told that a western acoustic would be best for me to start on

My little bad luck was that I had only my Fender to learn on. And learning on one of the best guitars is not good because, now I have difficulties playing acoustic guitars and cheaper electric guitars.

It's like learning to drive a diesel car first. Can't drive regular gas one after it

So you're in luck!

Haha LOL indeed.

In any case, could you post pictures of the guitar?
Also, do you have nylon or metal strings on it?
