Any guitar players on here?

It seems people like their Martins. Did you start out learning notes or chords?

working with my teacher we started learning notes, then to chords, he has taken me through a great progression I believe, I have come a long way.... I still feel I suck though (hahaha)

Yeah it suprises me how many people own a guitar but don't actually play. My favorite app for tuning is Guitar Tuna. It sure is exciting when all of the chords start coming together.

I was that guy for a few months. I was given an old classical guitar a few years back, but I never had the time to start so I gave it to someone else.

Thanks for the suggestion on the app. I’ll check it out.

Today I’m feeling good about learning the E A and D chords. I’m working on transitioning from chord to chord now. When the chord sounds right, I do get a warm fuzzy feeling.

I played drums as a youth, but once I started a family, too much noise, so I switched to guitar. I have a Fender Tele and Strat, and Guild acoustic. I play the acoustic the most because it's right there asking to be played. But dig the fenders when I have time.. Drums is my first love, but guitar is pretty freakin cool.

I play a Taylor acoustic and a Gretsch Jet electric. I mostly enjoy rock and roll and songs that sound good on acoustic. Beatles, Petty, Neil young , stuff like that. A lot of open chords and cool strumming patterns.

Haha! Yeah never sell a guitar, you never know how much the value could go up over the years. Good luck on the fix.

Thanks. Don't care too much about the cosmetics of the repair just functionality. Gives it character.

Yeah I agree if it isn't structural its better not to try and fix it.

Here is my Yamaha acoustic, I bought I think around 4 to 5 years ago. Yamaha has since stoped making it for some reason.

I’ve been playing on and off for about 10 years. I almost exclusively play modern metal but I have a Taylor 714ce cedar I keep around for folk and bluegrass. I’m a huge fan of Taylor and Ernie Ball. They both make easy to play, quality factory instruments!

Drummer. 50yrs plus. Still play daily. Everyone plays guitar. I can never find a bass player.

My best friend from H.S. is a bass player, he was in a lot of bands...and he plays guitar too. In one of his newer bands he was doing the vocals and guitar and letting others handle the back of the stage, lol. Although he can also play drums.

This is my Taylor 714. I also had a K12e that I adored but had to sell for moving expenses.

I like the purple

These count right?

Cool! How do you like your Gretsch?

I wanted a Les Paul but it was a bit more dough than I had at the time. The Gretsch has the same scale length and dual humbuckers, plus it just feels good, so i went with it. I run it through a Boss Super Overdrive pedal and a Vox tube amp and it sounds very rock n roll. I wish I had gone for the model with the Bigsby, but I'm still happy.

He’s putting the volume at the max!

Eddie Van Halen I most certainly am not ! But I do love to play, even though I have barely even made it out of first position yet. I have a Taylor 6 and 12 string in the house, and a Washburn 6 string out in my shop. As they are all acoustic electric, they sound exceptionally good when played through the amplifiers.
