I've been playing guitar for about 6 years now. I'm admittedly not an expert guitar player, but can hold my own when it comes to learning to play songs via tabs. I've got yamaha acoustic guitar, a nice looking classical guitar with mother of abalone embedded in it, and a fender telecaster (mexican made) with a Fender Super Champ XD amp.

I never took formal lessons and pretty much taught myself from ultimate-guitar.com tabs. I wish i knew how to read music and 'hear' notes.

My favorite bands to cover on the acoustic guitar:
Radiohead, Incubus, Elliot Smith, and much much more.

What do you guys like to play?

 

you have a great taste in music!!! i play drums...

 

i too have a drum set that was sitting in my cousins garage. i mess around on it from time to time. drums are alot of fun, especially if you've got someone with you to play guitar or bass.

 

what city do you live in?

 

I have a nice collection of guitars and amplifiers...been playing about 18 years.

Always love the classies....for me that is G'N'R and Metallica A lot of 90s rock/grunge/whatever, older rock and metal...and then I discovered Stevie Ray Vaughan.

Slash has always been my favorite guitar player. I cannot wait for the next Snakepit album. Velvet Revolver is the suck!!

 

i'm in burlingame

 

damn that's pretty far from me.. i would say we should have a jam session...

 

I've Played Bass since I was in 3rd grade (1986) and play guitar as well.

Bought an Ibanez Artcore Hollowbody last year and its awesome

 

Been playing bass for the last 10 years or so. GK 2x10 mini stack, Fender Standard Fretless 4 string. I have a '72 (I think) root beer brown Telecaster Bass in storage. I used to play a lot of guitar too, but I sold all my stuff when I was in college.

 

I've been playing for quite a while. Haven't got together with anyone to jam since I 3was in the service. After the service I dabbled a bit here and there, but pretty much put it down. This past year I made a resolution to pick it back up and start playing again.
I have a tried and true acoustic '94 Washburn Limited Edition, American standard Telecaster with Texas special pups. Amps I've got a fender Princeton Chorus, and a Yamaha RA-100. Pedal board looks like this, Boss NS-2 (Noise supressor), Ibanez TS-808, Vox Distortion Booster, Keely Compressor, Boss GE-7, Boss CE-5, Electro Harmonix Memory Man, Boss RC-2 Loop STation.
I'm currently building a custom Telecaster with a single TV Jones Bridge pup. It's gonna be pretty sick.
All that gear and I still suck.

 

I have a Yamaha acoustic from Costco haha. It comes with all the goodies (stand, strap, picks, tuner).

My buddies and i used to jam at their garage years ago. We've covered alot of 90's alt music, some 80's like the Cure, U2, REM, GNR etc. My favorites are songs from Incubus, JimmyEatworld, 311, Sublime, Foo Fighters, Lifehouse, RedHot Chili Peppers etc.

I miss those jamming sessions. It was a great time to enjoy each others company and just letting your emotions out.

Hopefully, my son picks up some of those musical interest as well.

Cheers

 

on the acoustic side i've got a Martin DCX1E that i ate ramen in college to get.

most recently I picked up a Squier Hello Kitty Stratocaster that i gutted. i replaced the neck with a mahogany one with pau ferro fretboard and pearl in lays from warmoth. the pickup was then replaced with a seymour duncan sh-8 invader and i changed out the bridge to an lr baggs piezo x-bridge. when i finished up a shot it flat black. it's my acoustic/electric single pickup frankenkitty. stereo out goes to an lr baggs para-acoustic di and i've got a boss me-50 that i'm trying to get rid of to get a pod xt live.

 

classical guitar on this end-I have a little 3/4 Fender because the petite size works better for me

 

Currently learning to play: Wish you were here - Pink floyd

 

Oh yes, forgot to add above I play a lot of random stuff, but I'm on a Mazzy Star Kick right now. Just learned Fade Into You and now working on Before I Sleep. Before that it was Neko Case, and my own little rendition of Margaret Vs Pauline.

Btw, referencing the original post on this thread, I've been on an Elliot Smith listening binge for a while now...this thread just inspired me to look up Needle in the Hay and give it a go. So Royal Tenenbaums
