Hey, I'm sat in college being bored @ the moment, so I just wanted to know where everyone is based in the world. I live in Worcester, a city not too far from Birmingham, England. Just interested to know how far-reaching this site is. |

Wow, there really are people everywhere! You know, that sounds kinda stupid - don't think I've been brought up being told there is no such thing as a world, cuz that's not what I meant. OK, shut up Raven you're makin a fool of yourself. Keep 'em comin! |

im from (born) Houston, Texas..
but now i live in a tiny town in Kansas.
how long has everyone been playing.. and what styles do you like/use?
ive been going for only about a year n a half, but ive had alot of down time to sit around and play.. i for one enjoy blues and folk, mixed with some reggae and alot of psychedelia.

i've been playing for 2 years i almost quitted last year , i didn't touch my guitar for half a year but i decided to give it another go last summer vacation and now i'm more driven then i've ever been
i like mostly metal , rock and maybe i'll give jazz and blues also a chance , but the true problem is i don't know any other guitarists in real life who are driven by the instrument , so i have no one to talk to about guitars so that's the main reason why i'm here at this forum .
good luck everyone |

Hi guys, I've been playing for twentytwo years already (the wrong way, as I just found out, resting my little finger on the pickguard :), I had seven years of classical lessons, and after that I played mostly bluegrass, (also started to play banjo, mandolin and fiddle) Recently I've been playing a lot of pop and rock also, 'cause people all the time keep asking me if I can play that, guess I have to do some metal too |

Greating from Prishtina, Kosova. You probably don't know where it is. It's near Albania, Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia. So SPINALtAPPER, you're not the only one from the 3rd world, I'm from, kinda 2.5 world.
I bought my guitar 2 years ago, but only 3-4 months ago I really started to play, and I'm working pretty hard to improve. |

I signed up to this website like 15 minutes ago. I'm a beginner when it comes to guitars. Any recommendations are appreciated! Anything that I should 'not do' would be good to know now instead of 22 years later. hehehe.. :) I'm in Philadelphia, USA and I sing in a band called Jalsa. Type in 'Kunal Jalsa' in google and the first link on youtube you get is me! :)
Peace! |
