| Anyone play it? I've been playing for about a year now, i'm not too good at it, but i have my fun. I play on an epiphone les paul with a flat black and red paint job, red pick guard, and gold hardware, and an ibaneze ax70 (tuned to drop c normally). I normally run that through a digitech rp350 guitar processor to sennheiser hd280 pro headphones, although I have a cheap line 6 spider 2 15w amp that I use sometimes. Anyone else play? If not guitar, do you play any other instument? (i've played clarinet, bass clarinet, and trumpet in the past, but I'm not sure I could play them very well anymore, lol.) e6300@3.33ghz|Asus P5k-e WiFi| 4gb OCZ ReaperX|2x 3870's|1.3tb storage space|MSI tv tuner. | ||||||||||||||

| I'm a drummer (aka roadie... ha... ha.. erm?), for what it's worth. I play an old Slingerland (roughly 55-60 years old) set with 22" bass, 12",13",14" toms, 14" snare. Rodgers 14" hi-hat and ride (not sure on dimen). Sabian AAX 17" X-plosion crash, AAX 14",16" studio crash, AAX 18" China, AAX 12" china splash, AAX 10" splash, AA 12" splash. Cowbell... Axis pedals. Tama hardware. Pro-mark sticks of either hickory or japanese oak. My kit used to have paint on it, but it's passed through many hands. I ended up with it after the previous owner had sanded all of the finish off, bearing the color of the wood. Decent job and doesn't look sloppy. I dunno what else. Edit: My girlriend had gotten an acoustic guitar for christmas a couple years ago. I pick it up from time to time, but I only know about three chords. I'd like to learn for I'm away from my drums while I'm in college (teh sux). I don't really want to be someone who learned how to play guitar by learning tabs: seems dishonorable. I'm trying to reserve tinkering with it until I can have some proper instruction. I don't want to pick up a million bad habits.

| I have a 1983-ish Fender Stratocaster, black with white pickguard and custom double stacked humbuckers (guy I bought it from call it a Superstrat, but it is a authentic vintage Fender). I'm learning it slowly, haven't had it for very long and with my short fingers it takes a bit to learn the chords right. I also play the piano/organ, haven't in a few years but I used to be pretty good..took a 2 year course on it but my skills are rusty. | ||||||||||||||

| Been playing (at) guitar for over 30 years, though if you take away the long periods of time I haven't played its more like five or six. Broke my left ring finger about 6 years ago and now it bumps my little finger at the end...ruining hammerons and pull-offs. I've had lots of guitars in the past, but presently have a Fender Tele, Epiphone SG, Squire Strat, mid-70s Jazz Bass, and a Gibson J-55 (dreadnaught with arched back) that I bought new in 1978. Played trumpet and baritone horn in high school. Played harmonica in the past, but suck at it now. Screw around with piano and keyboards, can build chords but not coordinated enough to do lead and rhythm at the same time. Own a Hammond Organ (M-143 spinet) but damn sure not coordinated enough to do above plus kicking pedals. Bought a nice rosewood fife several years ago and have gotten decent with it, but again, haven't played for years. I'd love to take organ lessons, but don't have the time. I also am the song leader at our church, and probably will soon be the choir director. I'm pretty satisfied that I was born with an intense love of music...but not the talent to create it.
