howdy! i had an idea for another thread, a thread where you can talk strictly about guitar! post your setups if you want, reveiws on guitar stuff, talk about you selling your equipment, off to sell things if need be, offer advice on guitars and effects and amps, everything guitar! keep the commenting on the guitar/music ish area please
p.s. i gotta go to bed, i’ll check on this thread tomorrow, chat at will!
Ummm… this is my bass, its a Rogue 100x. Its my first bass… yeahhhh. Ive been playing for like 4 months now I think. I lurrrve it.
I don’t think we are supposed to sell things like this in the forums…but PM me if you’re interested in my electric set-up:
Schecter Diamond Series 006 Elite (Black Cherry):
Fender Stage 100 Amp:
Im sure this thread was made before, but who cares.
Ive been playing for 5 years, or almost 5 years now. All self-taught, didnt even use books. So all I can do is read tabs, but I never do that anymore, cause if I want to learn something, I listen to it, and about 98% of the time I will be playing along within a few seconds, or soloing along to the track. Playing by ear is a great skill to work at.
Lets see, my first guitar was a peavey. Plays really nice and feels* awesome. I scalloped the neck and still play it to this day.
Second guitar was a Fender Squire. Plays really well too, and I still play that one. I messed up the electronics in it, so the pickup selector messes up and gives an annoying buzz, but thats not bad, cause you just have to fiddle with it a bit to get it to sound good. lol
Third guitar is a Gibson Epiphone Classic II, Les Paul style body. Great feel to it. Strap fell off it once and I snapped the fretboard off the neck. Its sitting in my closet.
Forth is a acoustic/electric Eleca guitar I got. Surprisingly good feel and sustain. Its a really nice blue color too.
Forgot if I got this 5th or not, but I got a 1976 Hoffner 12-string acoustic. Neck is a bit warped, and even after adjusting the trust rod, I have very high action after the 12th fret. That doesnt bother me too much, cause I dont use it for a lot of soloing and stuff, and most of the chords I use dont need to go past the 12th fret.
Last guitar is another Gibson Epiphone, but a flying V. I play this one the most. =p
Amps, I only have three. Started out with a 30w Gorilla amp. It was loud and nice for a practice amp, even used it for band practice for my first band, and it was able to compete with the drums and bass.
Ended up getting a mini-stack from Peavey and I still have that in my room and use that instead of the Gorilla for my practice/room amp. Its around 100w. Its pretty old too.
My last amp I got a few months ago, if that, is a Behringer half-stack. Around 250w, lots of presets on it that I really dont use, but are fun to have, and works really well for the shows ive played. Coffee shops, bars, and some other larger places. It easily filled the rooms and the volumes been at 2. No micing the cabinets either. lol
For me, playing guitar > unicycling. I can see myself not being able to uni at somet point (not saying I want that) but I cant ever see myself not playing a guitar.
Im typing a lot right now… lol
Did this (Van Halen) two years ago, and this(FF&).
Some heavier stuff.
I’ve been playing for a bit more than a year right now, and I have a 3/4 size electric, not sure what kind though lol.
I really like guitar, right now I’m learning sweet child of mine by guns n roses, which is a really fun song.
Does anyone have any experience with soloettes?
they seem really nifty, pricey though.

Here’s mine.
I have been playing for 2 years now, I only read tabs when i feel like listening to that particular song. i have a custom gibson epiphone g-400 SG:D
very nice guitar. It’s good to me. i write all my own music,songs,lyrics…everything. i play punk/metal/scremo’ish stuff. not rap, not country, not fake metal like 3 days grace or korn,any of that crap.
EDIT: here my guitar:
http://www.musiciansfriend.com/document?cpd=0OEY&doc_id=99371&base_pid=511895&index=0
ooh ooh i found the actuall one, but its small.
exept for the one i have doesnt have the tremelo and its in black.
they dont sell the one i have anymore.
I kind of play guitar. I have several but my favorite is a 1965 Harmony Archtop. I love it. I don’t really know how to play so I just use it as back-up for my singing. I do mostly avant-folk, horror-folk and country…
same with the writing music thing, but not the same genre completly. I write all the time, about everything, folder upon folders of stuff, too much to count, and to finish. I’m going to start refining some of the lyrics i like, and turn them into an album, i have well more than enough to complete a few albums, lol… i just gotta play with like 30 or so, find ones i like, complete different versions of them, and find something my band likes. i was suposing there are about 30 or songs in creation to the start of an album, then finalized into about 14-19
I just got some new strings.
i want to get a shark guitar like in GH3! the stuff i got is a epi les paul w/ gibson pickups and a mid size taylor acoustic and a marshal amp.
I play bass, but used to play guitar.
I have a Fender Squire bass with a Fender Rumble 60 amp.
Epiphone Less Paul guitar with a Tech 21 amp.
Big Muff Muzz Pedal
Memory Man delay/chorus
Cry Baby wah wah (never worked)
I like noise/shoegaze/ambient music…
Shoegaze/ambient music is probably the coolest music on the planet, IMO.
Hooray!! Like, nobody does!! I like you.
Anyone listen to the stuff I posted?
I have a tiny talent show im playing at tomorrow night. Thats gonna be fun.
