Post a picture of any instruments you play!

[TheKenTurner]

I haven't seen a thread like this, so why not make one?

I play guitar and drums! I don't really have a picture of my drumset and can't take one for a while (not in the mood for explaining) but here are some of my guitars! Do you play an instrument? post a picture!

 

[Compaq]

Played guitar for 10 years. Classical pieces and lead rock/blues aka stevie ray vaughan, gilmour etc.
Not home, can't take pics, but I've got a beautiful strat where I'm studying.

 

[TheKenTurner]

oh, nice! what made you stop?

 

[Compaq]

Maybe I should have written "I have played"

Still active, though mostly classical. I wish I played more electric, it's still in my fingers, partly. A few weeks of practice should help, though. Theres a youtube vid, let me look for it.


Edit: found it! My part in that song is high pitched refrain riff and solo at the end. I'm not happy with it, sounds mixed and fake. Would have loved time to really explore things and improvise on the chords, which are pretty standard and easy to play to.

My Wahburn acoustic bass.

That bass is purty. I actually started playing guitar first, but I was always a drummer at heart. I've got a pair of schecters, a les paul studio, an Ibanez Gio starter, and a cheap fender acoustic that never gets played. My guitars need to be cleaned pretty badly before I photography them, but at some point I do need to grab some shots of myself playing my Gretsch kit.

Oh nice! What' acoustic bass like? I haven't played bass before, but it seems cool! I'm just not sure about acoustic...

Here's my 1986 Alvarez-Yairi DY-66. On the acoustic side of things, I also own both Taylor and Martin, but the Yairi is the one I always seem to reach for first:

Now that would get me banned!

Fender Stratocaster Japan '86

First try ever with "studio" lightning... But sounded like an interesting thread to post some shots, plus I was bored. Used the bedroom nightstand's spotlight and a gym pad for the background
Anyway, I kinda like the results. So, I'll probably play around a little with the other guitars.



edit: there's no disturbing banding in the background in the hi-res file...

Here's some of the electrics, older pictures so the lineup has changed a bit since.

Nice! I've always liked lighter color strats!

There is literally no good way to light and photograph an instrument that is reflective EVERYWHERE. lol

But here's my Germeinhardt flute anyways.

Maybe with really strong soft boxes placed far away in a dark room and a long focal length?

The problem is that the angle of reflection is almost that of a fisheye, so any light source is goof to cause reflection streaks down the side. I guess it's just that you can make them less noticeable but not get rid of them lol

These were natural light though so that probably made a difference as well
