The Official Guitar Thread!

[Psychoduck]

Hey guys, i know we have a "music" thread, but how about a thread specifically for those of us who are guitarists? I suppose the discussion could extend to other instruments as well, but let's try to keep it centered around guitars and bass guitars for now at least.

I started playing around a year and a half ago when I started college. I have a Schecter Omen-6 and a Vox modeling amp. I have several friends who play, but only ever really jam with one of them. i'd say i'm pretty good with riffs, but I struggle with soloing. I generally play stuff with distortion, so sometimes switching to more acoustic-styled stuff can be a challenge for me as well. I intend to buy a Music man JP 7-string at some point in the future once I've saved up for it.

What do you guys play?

 

[MockKnizzle]

Your guitar has more frets than mine

 

[evergreen948]

Im more of an acoustic guy, haven't been playing much recently though...

 

[Insane54]

Ibanez RG120

Obviously that's not mine, mine is wayyyy more beat up...currently no pictures because it's not with me . Custom tuners, custom pickups (some real nice METULLL pickups), and custom neck shaved back to feel like a Strat. I play mostly prog-metal (Tool, namely) and classic/psychedelic rock (Pink Floyd, The Beatles, etc)

 

[Tomtris]

Geez, I play too many things to count on this thing!

 

[Sam The Great]

An American Fender Strat. Bought it an auction for $450.

what skill level are you at?

I'm not bad for someone who's been playing for two years. I've gotten much better since I started this thread, that's for sure.

i know how to use power chords, hammer on/pull offs, bends, a few other chords and finger tapping(the finger tapping part from the song "Eruption")

 

[Psychoduck]

I will hopefully be picking up a cheap seven-string tomorrow.

Time to play Dream Theater
