I'm guessing from some of the music people listen to around here that there are some guitarists?

Jimi Hendrix forever! Also Jimmy Page, Joe Perry, Tony Iommi, Tom Morello and loads more!

I play guitar.

I attempt to play guitar.

yea i attempt to play too but its hard as hell..JIMMY PAGE rules!!!

Don't attempt to play...Play! Then it's easy.

I play guitar too!

I have 3 and the last thing I need is another one but I'm probably gonna get one anyway.

One cannot have too many guitars... That's c r a z y

Tom Morello is a definate. I liked him when he was with rage! Good stuff in audioslave as well.

I have been playing the guitar on and off for a few years! I'm still trying to get the hang of it.

Play the drums,Santana Rules!

I play guitar too!!
Still not a great player but improving every day

I love Tom Morello. He's really good playing.
Have you listened to his solo album?

I play bass, does that qualify?

I love bass!

Everytime I go to Guitar Center I go crazy on the acoustic basses

Sooo much fun!!

I play guitar. Electric but starting to get into more acoustic/clean stuff so my amp's been in the clean channel more.

Steve Vai man. Steve Vai, Joe Satrianni(sp?), Carlos Santana, Alexi Laiho(no huge legend, but talanted non the less)

I've got a genuine '90 sunburst Fender Strat in mint condition sitting around collecting dust. I brought it years ago in the hope that one day i could play it like SRV. Right now i'm lucky if i can even play a single note.

Two Texan cool cats... SRV & Johnny Copeland R.I.P Boys.

Exact image of mine although my scratch plate is black...

Check out Rory Gallagher especally the live recordings.
got 4 guitars with me at the moment and just had my resonator shipped over that makes 5, defnitly gonna buy 2 more before the end of the year. heres the little beauty,
Ah hell its like showing off the kids so here is them all. the little darlings.

Nice collection loui I especially like the Resonator, great sound for playing blues...

Thanks man.
Yeah i have the resonator tuned to open G for the blues.
Funny thing is, the resonator is a b**** to photograph it acts like a mirror so you get the reflection of what ever is behind you on the guitar.lol.

All great guitarists... Satch is awesome

I just started playing electric guitar like 3 months ago, I can play a few songs but I'm nothing great. Some guitarists I dig are SRV, Jimi, Synister Gates, and some guy from youtube lol (search canon d electric guitar).

I've tried playing guitar. I'm pathetic.

I'd rather beat on things. But I have many many guitar favs, Allan Holdsworth, Richie Blackmore, Jason Becker, uhh Clapton...I can't think right now.

I don't play guitar, but I can play sax and clarinet *cringe*, I'm just not very good at it anymore.

As far as guitarists go... I'm fond of SRV, Steve Stevens (Billy Idol's long time guitarist), Tom Petty, BB King, Neil Schoen, there are probably lots of other ones too

Rolling Stone Magazine's:

* some of my p/s favs

I can play the guitar. It's all I really did when I was younger.. I didnt like high school much and mainly played guitar.. like I went through a stage where I did the Steve Vai thing(his practise thing)... I would practice different things for an hour each time.. So an hour on stretching.. alternate picking.. scales.. tapping..stuff like that.. then maybe an hour just playing to the radio and improvisation. So I would at least do a seven hour day during the weekdays and usually finish with a few hours at night just casually playing along to the tv ads. I did that for ages... almost 2yrs maybe. I almost slept with my guitar when I was younger lol. So I first started playing Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden riffs and stuff like that.. then I moved onto Metallica and the solos cause it was faster, and then onto Vai and Satriani.... and now I just play along to whatever. So I dont practise like I used to.. but have a go every now and then, so I keep an Ibanez and a Boss ME-50 around just for fun.

I went out yesterday and bought a brand new Dean Vendetta XM electric.

I couldn't believe the price, talk about getting your money's worth!

Beautiful guitar

I've been playing for about 4 years. Got this nice Segovia acoustic, and a piece of crap Peavey Raptor . I also play mandolin.

There isn't really anything specific that I play, nor do I have any certain guitarists that I idolize much. That being said, I love Jonny Greenwood and Ed O'Brian from Radiohead.

I'm crushed!

Besides you of course, you know that

And you rocked that Floyd song!

I'm trying to learn to play. Most of what I do as of now is experimentation with sound.

All I've got at the moment is a red off-brand Strat. Not a particularly good one either, but it serves its purpose well enough.

I am actually in the process of recording a song, though. (a reworking of sorts of George Harrison's "Within You Without You" from Sgt. Pepper's. A surprisingly simple song to play, actually: it's almost entirely on one string)


EDIT: Oh, uh, favorite guitarists? Uh, well, Clapton and Hendrix and Harrison, of course. Mark Knopfler and, uh, damn, whoever played for the Clash (Strummer and someone else...) are high up in my eyes as well.

GUITAR IS HOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!! lmao. No really, if a man played classical guitar for me I'd melt. Anyone know Karl Wolff (NOT the Nazi dude; the guitarist). Well anyway, I love him.

Here's a little u-tube of a guy I think is cool too:

Play hun PLAY!!!!

LOL, so cute.

Guitar is my favorite musical instrument! It sooths the soul!!!

It certainly does hun Not sure why but us girls LOVE IT!!

Ive always played electric guitar but i started playing Classical last year and i love it. I'm currently learning some Bach, Prelude in D and the Cello Suite.

Why am I thinking Randy Rhoads right now?! wow

I dunno, nothing aligns with the vibrations of one's soul quite like the tambura and sitar. At least in my view.

I started off playing bass at around 6 and I'm much better at it, but lately I've been much more interested in guitar. It's much easier to jam by yourself on guitar than on bass.

I have a cheap imitation Strat with zebra stripes. I can't really play anything, but I practice.
Also, my high E string broke a couple months back and I haven't bought replacements yet... I'm pretty much limited to practicing Power Chords and alternate picking.

As for my guitar idols:
HIZAKI (Hizaki Grace Project/Versailles/Solo stuff)
Teru (Hizaki Grace Project/??)
Yngwie Malmsteen (??)
Herman Li (DragonForce)

No particular order.

Ohhhh, ambitions to be a shredder? I was never really big into listening to shredders, but I still like to watch it occasionally.

Certainly pushes me to get on top of my game!

I might be the only person in the world who likes Harmonica and Sax more than guitars.

My favourite guitarist would probably be Angus Young. Hendrix is the greatest, but Angus Young is the most energetic musician I think I've ever seen.

I love harmonica........nothing beats sitting down with an acoustic, struming some chords and blowing the harp.

Don't get me wrong...I love guitar but there's room for all musical instuments in my heart...LOL. The only diference is play classical guitar and I become jellllllllllloooooooo...lmao

xo, She-ra

I can't spell worth crap today!! I'm tired...lol...I just mispelled crap to be carp...lmao

I hear ya TFG, this one is --->

Thanks Reb! That's the coolest 'stuff' I've heard all day!

omg i didn't know that was a link!! LOVED IT!!!!! (AND THE DOG'S TOO )

Thanks joc.

In my raging teens my friends and i were into the rock/heavy-rock music, but no matter where i was or what i was doing i always found solace blues.

S.R.V


J.L.H


Later.

God, I screwed up big. Completely forgot to mention Neil Young earlier....

Had a bit of good luck yesterday. Found a Yamaha acoustic guitar in the room my church's youth group uses, asked around a bit, found out no one knew who's it was. So, I ended up getting a replacement for the one that got smashed. Sounds pretty good, too.

HELL YES!!

OKAY KROW....waiting to hear. Thanks!
