This thread is for those of you who play the guitar, have an interest in doing so or just think it's a great instrument, which it is.

Sucking at playing the guitar doesn't stop me from enjoying the use of my low-quality, perpetually out-of-tune Ibanez GRX40, IBZ10G amp that buzzes when the volume is turned above 1 and my fried overdrive pedal. I accidentally plugged it into an 12V power source one day, which resulted in a sudden burning smell. It doesn't work any more.

550) {this.width = 550;}" onmouseout="unpointercursor();" onmouseover="if(this.width == 550) {pointercursor();}"/>
My Ibanez GRX40 with tone knobs that turn the wrong way and go up to 11, my Marshall MS-2 micro amp that sounds distorted when it's on the clean channel and my cat.

550) {this.width = 550;}" onmouseout="unpointercursor();" onmouseover="if(this.width == 550) {pointercursor();}"/>

For some reason, my cat insisted on posing in every photo. Here's my bass guitar and the acoustic guitar I promptly "obtained" from my sister after she moved out.

It's a BOSS Micro BR! It also doubles as an MP3 player.

Great thread idea Lily!

So here's my story. I have a crapy $350 Washburn guitar, which I bought a couple of years ago. It's a blue colour which has led me to believe that I'm shallower than I thought I was as I bought it based on fashionablity, not functionability. I started guitar lessons a month ago, and trust me, steel strings are really bad when learning the classical way.
Mind you, they have created awesome calluses on my fingertips!

Funnily enough, only one of my guitars is worth more than $350, but I suppose I'm more inclined to acquire multiple, low-quality instruments, as opposed to a single, awesome guitar.

How's the guitar playing going, Lucy? Are you going to try doing exams?

I have a nice pretty Cort acoustic guitar with electric pickup. Got it from my friends for my 21st. Awesome thing with beautiful sound quality.


Of course, it"d be better if I could actually play stuff instead of just my self taught crap -_-

I use it more as a relaxation tool, keeps me calm and very soothing.

Do any of you smash your electric guitar against the floor? Laughing

Don't know if I'll do exams - but I tell you guitar is very refreshing when it comes to sight reading - so much easier than piano! But that doesn't take away from the fact that I'm still quite uneven in my guitar scale practise - I've mastered C Major, but I'm rubbish at G.

All the time my friend, all the time.

Luckily for me, my guitar has a mutant healing factor that restores it to its prime condition. Unfortunately for me, the adamantium claws are downright irritating.





Wait. What were we talking about?

Really? I actually find sight-reading harder on guitar than for piano - unless it's tab!

If I had enough money, I would perhaps squander it on this neon-tastic device.

I have an acoustic. At least, my father bought it and it lives in my house. I can't remember the brand, don't know specs, can't describe it, and haven't got a picture, but it looks like it could be mildly fancy and other people who've seen it seem to like it ...

But it's so big (full size?)! Sad

The only things I can play are (chord) songs from youth group, and some random tabs of nice-sounding songs.
My worst enemies are the baby versions of B and Bm.

Love the pics Lily! And the cat. That's so cute Razz

[By the way, if I don't already sound insane enough, the guitar has a name and a 'birthday' Very Happy]
