Seeing as I have no direction in life as of the moment I'm able to hang out anytime fri-sunday this week, as in tomorrow-sunday if you would like to too or if that's too soon doesn't matter it's whenever you want to. Or we could go on Skype if you have a webcam and mic and feel more comfortable on there instead of in real life, some people are I'm not. But my mic is meh.

It's a Mann, and well I started playing guitar with finger picking, and I only want another electric so I can put lighter strings on it, My Mann's got real thick strings on it now making it impossible to do hammer-ons and pull offs

http://www.musiciansfriend.com/accessories/planet-waves-varigrip-hand-exerciser <-- Make some exercise of the fingers with this, they will become strong like ox and you can make tricky hammers and pulleys weep as you crush them...also, a little additional gain may be your friend. Why such heavy strings? For funky alternate tunings?

[Trigger]

Well I didn't really know they were that thick, I figured they were like a buddies of mine, but turned out they weren't, and well I've had them for a a few years now, and they just won't break

I play classical guitar, been playing for 11 years. I love the classical guitar just a gentle sound when played with great tone :)

I major in Classical Guitar Performance at Kwantlen.

I play a Manuel Rodrigo E Hijos hand crafted guitar from Spain :D

I'd say restringing = phenomenally cheaper than an entirely new guitar. :)

I'll bet it sounds absolutely beautiful!
I am not so great with a classical guitar. :/ Well, I'm not exceptionally good with any style of guitar, but classical slays me especially hard.

How 'bout you just learn to play any guitar how it is? Why spend 2k on a piece of equipment that's going to deteriorate? If you want a good guitar, then practice, get sponsors to pay you to play there high prices guitars. Just because you got a Ferarri doesn't mean you can beat a VW Rabbit on the track. It will make your enjoyment out of playing so much better. At a beach party, you hear a guitar, you wonder the sand then hey, there it is. Seems like a couple strings on the guitar is out of tune or the guitar is from a thrift store. Do you give up? Turn a string out of tune. There's only so many combinations you can get from a guitar if you play in a standard format. A guitar can be manipulated so easily. Half fret, nail fret, moveable bridges, you can even tune the guitar as you play at the same time.

[Trigger]

Yeah true, maybe I'll do that, but I also want another 6 string so I can have one standard tuned and the other either drop D Drop E or 1/2 step down, instead of constantly retuning

[Cyggie]

Yes! Have playing for 5-6 years now? I'm huge into jazz theory and chords but I usually play rock, particularly psychedelic/progressive in style! :3

[wolfensongman]

I've been playing guitar for ten years now. I've played through many different styles in that time but at present I'm on a classical fingerpicking / songwriting trip. :>

[Neox]

I wouldn't exactly call myself a "guitarist." I don't actually sit down with intent on practice and theory, and I don't consider myself really that good.  I usually play around and discover tunes that I think sound good and throw them on track.  I'm far more experienced on drums.

That being said, my baby is my Ibanez RGA8 (F#, B, E, A, D, G, B, E).  The thing is a hellbender.  The low end sounds so ridiculously beefy, and the fretboard is quite a challenge to get familiar with, having to reach so far across to get the F# and B strings.

I learned most of what I know on my Epiphone SG and my dad's old Fender Telecaster.  I also have a Yamaha steel string acoustic, Yamaha 5-string bass, and a cool little Epiphone mandolin.

[zadow sunfire]

i can play guitar a little but mostly i play bass. i have a crappy guitar and bass, and my nice bass is an epiphone thunderbird gothic

[Elias.Ringtail]

What kind of amp do you use, Zadow?

[Tynder Bluekoinu]

I play but only a beginner. Been trying to figure out how to play some of my favourite songs cause I'm sick of the boring beginner songs and also want to be challenged a bit more. Problem is having troubles figuring out how to maker hem  sound pretty like the pro acoustic players.
