Guitar Thread

I bought a Gibson Les Paul in 1998 and it's been an every-present for me since then. I'm sure it's responsible for my slightly bad back!

I've always wanted a Telecaster but a still yet to actual buy one.
 
What's everyone favourite chord?
i like B me, where you put your index finger over the 6 strings and then your ring finger (2 frets down) squashes the other 5 strings. C is good too, and G, even D come to think of it, but i'm not fond of E.

I’ve been buying guitars for probably close to 25 years I have lost track of how many I owned over the years, A few of my guitars I have pawned to that pawn shop just outside of Arndale usually at a loss.

My first electric guitar was a Hohner cherry red strat-copy that I bought from Argos for £79 I think around 1994.

Then I over the years I bought these guitars, going for more quality ones as how I was able to afford them more.

Fender Squier Telecaster Blonde finish
Yamaha Pacifica Strat copy Black finish
Jackson green sunburst finish
Fender P-Bass Blonde finish
Fender CD-60 (my guitar when I was staying in Bowden Court uni dorm)
TGM 5 string bass
Epiphone Wildcat Yellow
Epiphone SG Black finish
Ovation acoustic
Fender Sonoran Acoustic Black Finish
Fender Telecoustic Black finish
Fender Squire Hello Kitty black finish
Epiphone 399 Pro Black Royale Limited Edition
Epiphone Nighthawk Tobacco Sunburst
Gretsch Pro Duo Silver Glitter finish
Gibson SJ-200 (?) acoustic black
Fender Chris Shiflett Telecaster
Epiphone EB-1 Bass

I think that‘s about everything I can remember. Each one has a memory such as a gig. Around 1/3 of the guitars especially the most recent ones I bought either from Dawsons Piccadilly or Thomann. The costliest one is the Gibson which I sold, but the majority are affordable guitars such as the Epis. I was saving for a Gibson DG-335, but have now invested on other non guitar things.

But my main instrument is actually the drums, Grade 8 Rockschool even.

EDIT: I’ll gradually post pictures here if I ever find them. But these were the Fender Sonoran and Epi 339-Pro Black Royale that I bought from Thomann quite a while back, and another Grestch other than the Pro duo

That's quite the list - any certain affinity to the Hello Kitty?
 
What in the world could be so important that no-one is posting in the guitar thread? ;-)

Just landed back in the UK and been bidding on eBay for FX pedals (without any luck this far), still no closer on a decision as to whether I am going to sell a couple of guitars for a better one.

I'm hoping inspiration strikes me over the weekend............

Just pick it up and try and pick up some songs that you enjoy (granted they need to be within reach). Loads and loads of stuff on YouTube etc.

I am living proof that this can be done (yes I am full of technical issues and not graded etc) but I can play very nicely for my own enjoyment.

There is so much brilliant stuff to play on the guitar that you don't need to be a great player to achieve.

If @Bill Walker were dead he'd be turning in his grave round about now............ ;-)
