Guitarists!

Tue, Jan 11, 2011 at 10:57 AM by JJ_P-Roach

Hey, how many guitarists are there?? Talk about your passion, your guitar (and their name if they have one), when did you start, what songs do you play.. :D
I have 2 guitars: a classical guitar (Jane) and a black epiphone les paul (Darkness).. I started one year and an half ago, with the guitar that my old sister left years ago.. and then my parents bought me Darkness for Christmas after few months..

    I have two guitars! An Ibanez RG series 370 dx, and a Martin Smith white acoustic. I've been playing since December 2008, so just over 2 years.

    I'm not all too amazing but I still play every single day if I can help it, especially now I have my baby! My amp xD A Line 6 Spider IV 75 Watt:D

    I mostly play Avenged Sevenfold (well, attempt to). Then I also play Green Day, Papa Roach, Bullet For My Valentine, or whatever I feel like learning!

    My favourite the best 2 guitarists are Robert Johnson and Keith Richards. I like to listen the guitar sound when they play the guitar. It is very cool and amazing. I really like these both guitar players.

    Present! Been playing for only 2.5 years now .. None the less I own about 4 guitars lol ..

    2 of them being Schecters (Yes, Jerry uses them :D), 1 Schecter Tempest Custom (Black & Gold) with Seymour Duncansssssss .. And a C-1 from the Diamond series in Tobacco sunburst ..

    The other 2 are a Jackson RX 10 D and a classic Epiphone SG in Cherry Sunburst ..

    As to music I play, it'd have to be:

    - Papa Roach (Obviously ..)
    - Sum 41
    - Linkin Park
    - Yellowcard
    - All Time Low
    - Any random song I like whenever I come across one.

    I hope i'm not the only one that does, but I sometimes record songs played on cam and put it on youtube .. If anyone wants to take a look, be my guest: http://www.youtube.com/user/ZeroV4

    And yes, there are Roach covers too. :D

    I play about one year.
    My first guitar is a fender squire strat, called: five the jet black heart. (black) five because i pay it just with bank notes at which is a five shown^^. and five is married, too. with the guitar of my friend called 'plaster'. I know I'm crazy, but i love my guitars.
    my other one is a les paul (GTX - i never hear it before, it's a replica), (brown) its name is 'scrab - drawing scars'. scrab - i don't know it's a fancy name. Maybe from the game 'scrabble' =D
    I trie to play anything that i listen to and want to play. Mainly i think green day and papa roach (I have the tab-book from metamorphosis yeahh!!)

    I started with one of those bad statocaster starter sets. It was around the time when Infest was released, cause Blood Brothers was the first song I learned. Over the time I bought 2 new guitars. A schecter 007 Elite and a Hollywood classic. These are gonna be my last bought guitars (except maybe for an old Blackjack Tempest, I love the shape but the heel is kinda crappy on the standard ones). Trying to build my own guitar, but I can't paint shit, so yay for natural finish =P

    Right now I'm stuck with some old stuff, like Kiss, Mötley Crüe, ZZ Top, Uriah Heep. etc.
    But mostly I play my own stuff.

    the first guitar i've ever played was my brother's, it was a locally made acoustic guitar called lumanog (i'm from the philippines). i had my own lumanog eventually, kinda learned on my own in my sophomore year in high school. that was 18 years ago! had a short-lived band and never got to play again in college. we used to play metallica and nirvana stuff. never had anything fancy like you guys coz back then i never really thought it was important. but now i do... :)

    @valeria the sore means your fingers are forming calluses. when it does, playing guitar won't hurt at all anymore, unless you remove em... btw grats on your new guitar! :)

    I've got a Sunburst colored Fender Strat with a rosewood fretboard.
    I've had it for almost a year now and I love it, I still haven't been able to come up with a name for it though, which is sad but I enjoy her regardless. (I like to think it's a she) I started playing on my birthday which is when I got it about a year ago. I know it's a lot of guitar for an amateur but it hasn't affected me.

    I know songs by:

    Enanitos Verdes
    Green Day
    Nirvana
    Papa Roach
    My Chemical Romance
    Guns N` Roses

    I'm currently in the process of learning Stairway To Heaven by Led Zepellin and This War is Ours by Escape the Fate.

    I am a little short on cash now that I'm in college so I haven't been able to buy new strings (e minor string broke) and I haven't been able to get a distortion pedal to compliment my guitar. Also, my amp is at my parents house, I haven't been able to bring it over here so basically I've been playing without a string or an amp for about three weeks now. :(

    I started 2 years ago with the classical guitar ... After a year I switched to electric guitar (his name is Billie Joe! xD). It is black and white, is a Fender Stratocaster. But in a few years I'll buy an Ibanez!
    It 'a beatiful passion, now I can play: Papa Roach, Green Day, Limp Pizkit...
    I want to live in the music! I can not help it!

    I have 2 guitars.Used to have another one but the griff just broke in half and well R.I.P St Jimmy.

    My first guitar is an acoustic one, no name, and I received it from my boyfriend and well is like a sentimental piece for me . Her name,yes, her name is Gloria and i pretty much learned on her every song i now play .

    The second one is an electric Squire that I absolutely love cause it`s the first thing I bought with my own money. Normal people will buy clothes and stuff well I went guitar shopping .This one is a he and his name is Sid as in Sid Vicious from Sex Pistols and well that is my concert guitar I always use it whenever we have to play a gig. I like to think that my guitars are like a family and stuff . The acoustic one is a she cause she has more smooth curves just like a pretty lady and the electric one is a he cause the curves are kind of non-existent.

    I know to play a lot of Green Day songs , a couple of The Offspring songs and well I try to learn some Papa Roach songs at the moment on them but as I am in a band we actually focus more on our own songs not really into covers but for me is fun to actually try and learn songs that other made.
