Any Guitar Players on SVTP?

[03Cobra_hopeful]

What's up all?
I was just curious if anyone out there plays the guitar?

I do. And have since I was about 6yrs old.. I am 23yrs old now.
Well, I should say I played the guitar off and on for six years..
Age 6-12..
I really got into it again when I was a teenager..
Been playing everyday since.
I taught myself how to play.. never once had a pro lesson.
My Dad, who has played for 30+years had shown me the basics..
I just took off from there..
I can't read music. But I know everything by ear.

I can also play the bass guitar, piano, keyboard and drums.
All self taught. Not to shabby, huh?

My guitar of choice is a 1960 Gibson Les Paul Jr.. (single cutaway)
I also have a new Jackson Warrior XT.
My acoustic/electric guitar of choice, is a Gibson/Montana.

I have an Ibanez GS200 bass. It's about the same color as Ford's Sonic Blue Pearlcoat. Only, theirs is called Jewel Blue.

But I was just curious to see if anyone else on SVTP shares my passion for music. Anything from classical to blues.. heavy metal.. souther rock..
If it has a good beat, I like it. And I'll play it!

I've been playing for quite awhile. I have a 2000 Fender American Strat and a twin reverb amp. I like the blues :banana:

When feeling folksy I have a Martin 6-string.

I've been playing about 7 years since I was 12. My brother and dad both play aswell. Dad, 28 years, and bro 5. I play an ESP\LTD M-300, Washburn dime-333, and have Randall Warhead, amp head, running through a crate cabnint. My dad who post on this site also plays a Jackson PS-1, Ibanez Les Paul copy. ibanez Rg 770, and a 1974 Fender Strat. He has numorous amps.

I've been playing for 5 years. I too have never had a pro lesson. Started off looking up tabs on songs I liked over the net and now I'm starting to write a lot of my own stuff. Been using the same Ibanez RG series electric I started on along with my Crate 15w practice amp. I plan on getting something a little larger soon though. I'd love a PRS standard 24 but I'd also love just having the $3,000 to spend on one.

How about a 3yr old with less than 20hrs, Peavey Ultra120 3channel head with the EVH 5150 slant cab. not a single scratch on it anywhere?
I'll meet halfway up to 250-300 miles.

played drums for about 10 years... teaching myself guitar, bass and piano. my set is pearl forum standard, the guitars are an epiphone les paul gothic, an ibanez aef30 (which is all i play really) and i'm just learning the other two so i haven't gotten a full piano nor a bass yet. just studying reading music and what not.

Post pics and maybe a link with more info on the stuff. I'm in Fort Worth. I'm willing to bet that's less than 300 miles from Southern Louisiana. By post I mean PM, sorry. Oh yeah, and a price. I'm on a budget somewhat.

Awesome guys!
My Les Paul (original, no repro!) was given to me at birth my by Dad.
He bought it off a hippie at the music store here.
He was selling it for bail money.. his buddy was in the clink!
Also, my Dad bought a Yamaha Amp off him.
With two 12" pyle driver speakers..
Not for sure on the wattage.. but it will rock for sure.

The amp I have now, was my Dad's back in the day.
It's a stack Amp.. with prolly a 15"-18" speaker in the cabinet..
Pushing out some major wattage..

Definetly old school.
But I can rock the house..
I have a Behringer X VAMP effects pedal.
I really like it.

Also, it's good to know that some fellow SVTP guys share my enthusiasm for music!

I've been playing on and off for 15 years. I picked up a guitar and learned to play by ear. I later learned to read tab. I'm one of those annoying people. If you play a lick in front of me I can repeat it by just seeing your fingers and hearing the notes.

I mainly play bass. (I have 4) My favorite is my first. An Ibanez SG. Followed by an Alembic 5-string narrow neck. Only 5-string I could ever get my stumpy fingers around.
I also have a Charvel Jackson with dual mode active pickups and a GTX (with Plymouth stickers - go old school Mopar)

I have an old Gibson Epiphone guitar I play some harmony and blues on.

I also have a basic MIDI keyboard I can play. (took lesson for many years when I was young so I can read sheet music and sit and play it)
I even have a TASCAM 6-track and drum machine from the old days.

I can rock out with my own bad self. :coolman: :banana:

I don't have any PA equipment anymore.
I still have a 100 watt Bassman and hookups to run through any stereo amp.

I do still have my 2 favorite pedals! A Morley Pro Series WAH and a BOSS MetalZone. :beer:

I just started teaching myself how to play this year. My first guitar was a Fender F 25 acoustic that I bought from a friends mom for $25, and I just bought a Stratocaster and a FM65R Fender amp before christmas epper:

[trendkilllx]

This is some of the guitar equipment that my family and I have collected over the past few years.

 

[Sonik Blur]

Holy shit! Now that's a collection! How do you like that Warhead? I played one and loved it. I just recentley got a Line 6 Flextron amp. Wow.
