Any guitarists in here?

I\'m gradually getting better, I learned todays rock is nothing compared to 80\'s like rock. Basically almost anyone can pick up a guitar and be in a hard rock group today.

Hi,

I have been playing for about twenty years or so. It seams that a lot of songs out there are three or four chords. It\'s all how it\'s put together. Keep practicing cause there is nothing better than playing in a band!

ive been a drummer my whole life but im just recently trying to teach myself guitar. im having a good ass time with it too.

i suck bad but im getting better.

playing guitar is great.
how long have u been playing ViVi? Ive almost been playing for two years, getting pretty good at it now.  So what types of musics do u like to play?  what are some of the bands u like to learn from?

I like hard rock myself, and i totally agree with you on 80\'s rock.

AC/DC kicks ass.

Where\'s waspman...he always used to play his guitar down the Voice Chat for me...Guns n\' Roses and other great rock groups  

if you read this waspy, ever learn how to play Yesterday Dont Mean ****, by Pantera?  you couldnt do it last time we spoke..  

:fro: toot on

I\'m a bass player myself. We always seem to be in the minority for some reason. Nobody wants to play bass (Well, except for truly cool people..):smokin:

i used to play guitar for Grand Funk Railroad:thepimp:
but that........ was a long time ago:(

I\'m playing around with a guitar now a days, I don\'t know jack sh!t on how to play it. But I still play around with it.

acoustic or electric guys?  personally, im an acoustic...gets the ladies.:nerd:

screw that acoustic stuff man. full on nasty ass distortion ala AC/DC for me.

i like acoustic and electric but its the electric that keeps me coming back.  I love cranking up my amp and jammin to some AC/DC

Don\'t bother with most of the 80\'s rock, at least not that idiotic metal scale cranking that used to be popular back then.  Of course there were always individual musicians who put out records that were worthwhile, and I would say AC/DC was one of them.  My favorite guitar player Stevie Ray Vaughan recorded almost all his records in the 80\'s, so you can\'t write off the whole decade.  On the other hand, the majority of the music released now is crap as well.  I think it\'s safe to say that the majority of music purchased by many people is crap, no matter what time period you\'re looking at.  

It\'s good to have guitars of many different types so that you can pick up the right one to learn whatever type of song you want to play.  You should have an electric, a 6-string steel stringed acoustic, a 12-string, a nylon stringed classical guitar, and maybe a few other oddballs thrown in.

If you all want to hear some real guitar playing, then buy records from these people:

Leo Kottke
Doc Watson
George Benson
Mahavishnu Orchestra (featuring John McLaughlin)
Buckethead and/or Praxis
Captain Beyond (featuring Rhino)
The Allman Brothers

um.... Frank Zappa Helloooooo?!

I know there are a lot of Frank fanatics in the world, and I truly respect them.  I think Frank was a brilliant musician and composer, and he had a fantastic ear for music.  He was a perfectionist, and very persistent in making his recordings reach a really high quality level.  In my opinion however, he was not a great guitar player.  Certainly very good, but not great.  He did work with a lot of great guitar players, as everyone knows.  Sorry, that\'s just how I feel man.

HEY ACE!!
