Members STL Matt Posted February 13, 2011 Members Posted February 13, 2011 Way late to the party here, but I'm a hell of a lot better at guitar than fishing. Which is good because I make most of my living teaching guitar. My fave is a huge old jumbo Kay acoustic, or my unreasonably weighty early 90s not fully American teleCASTER, preferably through a little 60s Fender Vibrochamp turned up to 10.
dgames Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 I played around a little in the late 70s but was pretty bad. Took a couple of years of lessons about 10 years ago and learned chord theory pretty well. I have been playing rhythm with a jazz band at church the last 8 years. I own a Mexican Strat and a Simon & Patrick acoustic.
Members Nolan_Whaley Posted February 17, 2011 Members Posted February 17, 2011 Just started playing about a month ago. Have an Ibanez acoustic i've borrowed from my uncle. Fingers are sore is about what i've accomplished, but i like plinking. Lots of online resources for lessons, and just trying to get some chords and changes figured out.

It gets WAY easier after you build the finger muscles and the fingertip calluses. The good thing is, learning a bunch of open chords and progressions takes about as long as building up the physical side, so even though it seems really hard for a while, when you come out on the other end you'll suddenly be able to strum most any tune you can think of. (I figure I'm getting such great fishing advice around here, I have to pay it back by advising on something I know a lot more about, being a guitar teacher)
Members STL Matt Posted February 18, 2011 Members Posted February 18, 2011 Pedal steel guitar . . . if that counts in this thread. Twenty strings, but many of you probably make more music with six. MUCH respect to anyone who can work one of these. I have enough trouble when I try the lap steel...
Andy & JoAnne Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 I've been playing most of my life. I love my '64 Telecaster
Mark Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 Late in the conversation too - I've picked around since 7-8 years old. Own a cheap alvarez bought in a pawn shop. Me and my buddy (guitarist in the Dave Caputo Band) take our guitars with us on most Eleven Point River float trips. Specializing: Ozark Mountain Daredevils, John Prine, The Band, Rolling Stones, Amazing Rhythm Aces, Guess Who, Loudon Wainwright III, Marshall Tucker, CCR, and our latest - The Gourds cover to Snoop Dogg's "Gin and Juice". IF you are ever on the Eleven Point and see a couple old hippies with guitars, stop by with a request. We can fake most anything!! Foghorn 1
Mark Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 OH and BTW - going to see the greatest steel guitar player of all time - Robert Randolph and the Family Band in Aspen, CO on June 11. Check him out on Youtube if you don't know who he is. Definitely some funky R & B.
