I can sort of play Stairway To Heaven on my keyboard. I tend to play by ear, and everything ends up completely wrong but different enough to be called my own version. I make most of my tunes up myself, often as I go along. I can play for an hour, and the tunes are always different each time.

I got a squire (aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh), saving for an ibanez js1000

Im into almost every type of music, from Britney spears to Joe Satriani. Strange really.

Cant play much, i always try learning songs way to advanced. I can play "in Your World", "House Of The Rising Sun" and "Plug in Baby" by muse, although my TAB for plug in baby sounds a little wrong.

I can play parts of a few Joe satriani songs, only the simple bits.
"Friends" and "Always with me, Always With You"

Ive not been playing long, got my guitar for xmas a year ago. Love playing tho. Im at uni so i have loads of time to play everyday.

Yea I have a keyboard I got about 8 years ago, I have an ear for music and can usually pick out when something sounds right I have heard of people who just listen to music then play it perfectly, using both hands and all...freaking o_O I get my music from my Grandmother, who is amazing with the piano. My cousin is also a good musician, we have a lot in common and get along well when he comes up here (hes in Texas)

Nice guitars you all have, more musicians here then I thought!

Quote: "Bleh, they all look the same to me....oh except RPGamers, diff shape but GOLD.

GOLD is always good "


Gotta love it baby Gold IS always good 150 extra on the price tag tho

Big hint when buying a new expensive guitar. GET IT USED! The Les Paul Studio Plus's are abotu 1250 brand new, but as SOON as they leave the store, they drop to 850. Like buying a new car. When you drive it out of the lot you lose SO much money its not even funny! (hey that rhymed )

Nice Yarbles Is it actual real wood finish, or just a finish? Anyhow, looks VERY nice Has a lot in common with the Les Paul, just not the same shape

Here is a pic of my other main guitar:



It's a Godin MIDI/Acoustic Nylon string guitar. Mine is like the one in the middle, I bought it in 2000 and, also, am sure glad I did!

I payed $1100 for mine, factory direct from Carvin. Had to wait 6months for it too, as it was a custom make. Maple neck through alder body. Green quilted maple top and headstock, active/passive electronics, 2 humbuckers with coil splitters, phase switch, and sperzel locking tuners. Strung with my favorite strings, Earnie Balls.




And while we're on the subject, here's my Fender Roc Pro 1000. 4x12" cabinet with 100w tube head.

*runs to see what kind of EB strings he uses*

I use regular slinky.
D'Addario medium gauge on my acoustic.

I don't like really light strings. I tend to snap them too easily. Oh, and never buy Darco brand, you'll be buying a new set every time you play.

*Posts the first ACTUAL guitar*

haha j/k I'm sure you all own those guitars... yep, positive..



Dean Exotica FM and it's my baby.

I play mostly classic rock, not really rock.. more like that hillbilly stuff that only someone like me could appreciate.

I'll punk out just because it's fun.. even though it sounds like crap on the acoustic.

Currently learning... how to play it with my butt

nah RPGamer, I believe ya heh, it was just funny that everyone's pictures were off the web, except Phaelax, which I later had to force to show up.

My choice of guitar actually came down between a Gibson LP and my Dean, but well, you know how it ends.
