Guitar players

[pixmedic]

I've been playing for 36 years. In that time, my collection has been as high as 37 pieces. I played most of them regularly. I'm down to a very sane three guitars right now:


My 1990 Fender American Standard Strat:

My Highway One Strat (forget the year):

And here's my all-time favorite. This is my 1986 Alvarez-Yairi DY-66. It was in absolutely pristine condition when I got it in 1987. I've owned Martins and I've owned Taylors (I worked at Taylor for eight years), but this Japanese import rose to the top when it came time to thin the herd:

Finally, just for the Hell of it, here's a shot of me during a gig at Qualcomm Stadium, in San Diego, in 2003. My hair's not quite that long now:

those guitars are ok....
but that is a pretty awesome mustache sir!

If you can't agree with that, then I'm sorry, you're the only one talking nonsense here.

Sorry, but when someone (such as yourself) tries to come across as though they know what they're talking about, but fails in such spectacular fashion, I just have to laugh.

I can play a G chord, using fingers 1,2 and three, and leave the D, G and B strings open, and it will sound quite nice. I can then slide that up the fretboard to the eighth fret, and that's a C chord.

For crying out loud...

Even if the anecdote you used in an attempt to sound smart were actually true--which it is not by the way, a Cmaj chord is C/E/G, not C/E/D/B/G--then it would still fail because the shape doesn't work at every position to create the same chord in all keys, which any non-neanderthal should be able to see is what I'm talking about here.


Look, I get it--being the argumentative contrarian of the forum is your M.O. Do what you have to do, just please, keep your nonsense opinion on this subject to the jamspace of Steve5D and the Celebrex Quartet and don't mention it in front of aspiring guitarists who may be looking for any reason to avoid the rigors of learning the indispensable skill of barre chords.

Do we have a "Great ideas gone horribly wrong" section?

All you need to be a successful guitar player is power cords and hip thrusts.

And you gotta have a good jump!

Now you're all set to be a Green Day cover band...

I'm sorry, but it's simply not possible to have an intelligent conversation with someone who uses such technical terminology such as "smushing".

Furthermore, "smushing" the E and B strings with the index finger isn't a barre chord.

I'm right, you're wrong.

Enjoy your smushy day, Segovia...

I before E, except after C

Why don't you two go out and play some music and chill out before one of us winds up having to lock this otherwise interesting thread.

Agreed! I want to see some more axes

Anyways, I played a friends Jet City amp tonight with an es-335 and it ROCKED!!

I've always wanted a 335!

In an effort to bring things back on track, here's my good buddy Tim and I. You'll just have to guess who's who.

I have a Charvel Model 275 deluxe, that's 20 years old. It might be worth $100 to the right sucker, but I shopped through 14 of the exact same guitar years ago to get this one. I still love the way it plays. I also have an acoustic Fender, Sonoran Nat. Neither one of them gets played much anymore, but if I did it would be a wide range of Genre's.


OP, Love the sunburst Strat.

 

[o hey tyler]

Anyone play a carvin double neck?


Saw these guys Thursday night live.
