Guitar playing, anybody?

Epic guitar. Almost same as mine... well, except that mine is older than Jesus's sandals.

Unfortunately, I do not know much about any areas of music except for guitars which I know only little, so I do not know how to appreciate the keys there. :( Sorry.

But indeed, let's post our instruments here, not only guitars! But primarily guitars! :na:

Oh sh*t, just remembered that I forgot to take pictures of mine. Oh well, you can see it in the video. Next weekend, pictures.

OMG ! Very nice, Lonewolf! That genuine Fender up there? Made in USA?

Thanks... it's a Fender standard (made in Mexico) Stratocaster. Cheaper than the USA Strats....the quality is close, if you get a good one.

@Grix.....my strat is very jealous of that maple neck.....:beer:

I had chance of holding a Mexican strat in hands. Not plugged in though. I'd compare it aproximately to Epiphone SG I also had the chance to hold, same wood material IIRC, not laquered maple like mine and Grix's.

Also does not have a dent in 12th fret from a wire in the forementioned neck, like mine :crackup:

I've played Guitar for 45 years. Piano, and Bass for 29 years. Made my living out of playing for 25 years in Alaska's Roadhouses, Honky Tonks, and biker bars. Quit playing for a living 9 years ago when I turned 50, just got to ruff for me. Now I sit in at coffee shops and play resteraunts occaisionally for fun.
Countless Guitars, Basses, and Sythesisers of epic Quality have pass through my hands !

Eudaimonium - all you are left with after a life time of playing bars is memories. Most of the good players you worked with will be dead. It's a hard life, deadly if you drink, chase the women, and do the drugs. Just staying up playin hard all night every night, and sleeping in crap motel rooms wares you down, and make you sick. Toward the end I was sick alot playing under bright lights, in thick smoke, screaming songs sick as a dog. You have to show up even bed sick, because three other guys in the band's job depends on your being there, just like you depend on them. In the end when you stop playing the money stops too. You are left old and broke. You sell all your stage gear to some hopeful, and kiss it good by. All you have left is memories that your family don't want to here about! luckly I worked summers on the north slope of Alaska in the oil fields, or I would have nothing, and it built my health and strength back up for the winter of music and bars. My friends that played year round slowly wasted away and died.
- BUT - you do live a wild life free that few others get to live. Every night you get to feel, and see, the power of the music you make move people, and the magic of the stage make you feel like a king of the streets. And once you live that life, bad as it is, you will always miss it when it's gone!
Don't tell my wife I still miss it O.K. :rolleyes:

That's eye-opening, dude, beautiful words!

Too bad about it, too :(

Don't know what to say.
 
I will never forget my ears ringing due to not wearing ear plugs....if I knew then.....:whistle:
 
Lonewolf You're talking about tinnitus. I have it in one ear. Barely noticeable anyway, but its there. I always wear plugs now.


Surely petacat knows what I'm talikng about. What music does petacat play?

Back then ..(late 80s, early 90s).. tinnitus wasn't in my vocabulary. Common sense wasn't either. We played loud, sometimes too loud.... for the size of club at the time.
 
I played what ever music or gig I could get that payed.
Now I play the old cocktail standards and bossanovas restaurant stuff.
Very boring to you younger guys but over the years the fire and passion for rock has faded.
As I have matured so has my music and musical knowledge.
Speaking of loud music and sore ears, how about
a bursed kidney or blue balls. I remember having to
run to the bathroom during a break and stuffing my
shorts with toilet paper to try and protect my aching balls
from playing the bass and standing in front of a
pounding bass cabinet night after night. That monster
Bass amp would give me a sore back and sore balls.
oooow blue balls, forget sex tonight baby.
Or having to tape my fingers with white med tape
because I couldn't stand to touch the bass strings
anymore even after playing it for years and years.
Or how about having a drooping left shoulder
from 45 years of having a guitar or bass hanging on it.
Or numb finger tips from pounding on strings
and piano keys your whole life.
Eudaimonium - You could just say " Congratulation on
making it out of the Bars alive" a lot of great players
and good friends didn't! Hepatitis, Liver Serous, VD, AIDs,
and O.D.s took there toll on the greatest players I have ever known.
The best ones, the really talented one, were self destructive
for some reason. They indulged in every thing, but played their ass off.
What a loss of great talent.
O.K. enough pontificating. I'll quit rambling over the passed now.
