I play guitar. Mainly just mess around on my acoustic trying to learn songs I hear on the radio. I was more serious about it when I was younger

Guitar for 31 years now. I play solo acoustic gigs in bars around town every other weekend so my wife doesn’t kill me. Otherwise it would be every weekend. Just played last night- had a blast!
Below was a recent show for the Blue Angels’ end of season party. Fun night!

Some of you guys are doing gigs and stuff?! Wow.
Here I am trying to jam my fingers together to play the A chord!
I know there is at least one more guitar player on here, I'm waiting to see if he posts.

I own two guitars and one banjo, and play all of them poorly. Got started buying my banjo and acoustic guitar from a neighbor in Connecticut maybe 40 years ago. His name was Ace Frehley. Years later after college I purchased a Strat, and got Ok with it, but work and family took most of my time and I never really got back into the hobby.
You talking about me?
I bought my first guitar about the same time as Mike, 10 months ago? Mike and I have PM'd often about our progress. I pick one string at a time and I can play a couple of simple tunes without sheet music. Chords...that's where I have problems. I struggle with my fat finger tips.
I practice 4-5 days a week (30-60 minutes) and I find it very relaxing even when I'm struggling with it.
2-3-4 fingers, or alternatively if you're double jointed in the fingers, first finger barre across D, G, B strings, open E ringing. Or you could barre major chord shape on the 5th fret. So many options!!
yes sir!
Pretty soon Scott and I will have our band together out playing gigs.
2-3-4 fingers? I'm open to looking at different options!
I once played the entire talk box part of "Do You Feel Like I Do" by Frampton on an empty two liter plastic bottle.
I do a lot of solo gigs, too --this looks like a really fun night!! The Blue Angels come to my town every other year, never miss it.
Started playing drums in 6th grade. Sadly, never really stuck to discipline, just played by feel and by myself. Sold drums after high school. I think I was 41 or so when I decided to buy an electric set to mess around with. Well the bug bit! Started lessons, got together with some guys from my synagogue and started, hold on to your seats a Jewish Rock Cover Band. Yes, there is genre, yes there are some very talented people to cover. It was a lot of fun for community events. I also play cajon and my smaller 3 piece kit at synagogue for musical services once a month.
The bass player and I grabbed a friend and started a power trio of classic rock and 90’s alternative covers. We have played a few bars and a private party. I ditched the electrics for a nice maple set of Tama’s. Can’t wait to keep playing. The saying about never to old to enjoy it is true. Glad I went back and picked it up again. Not quitting my job, but just having a ball with it.

Incase you’re wondering... I got to name both bands Yehudie and the Gefilte Fish. The current band is Six Fingered Man. Favorite movie.
Neil was a favorite of mine growing up. My Starclassic Maples were a lot of fun. I was mostly self taught and could never really read music. I would just have a blast sitting down and making as much noise as possible.
Btw, what series were the maple Tama's?
5 piece Super Star Classic, Tangerine lacquer burst. I love them. Small kit is a Ludwig Breakbeats. Very fun great for small spaces or when you need just a smaller sound.
I've been playing guitar for 25 years now. Stopped learning other bands songs about 8 years ago, and only write my own.
2001 Martin my dad bought brand new. Given to me in 2003. This was 2 years ago.

I play the bass in two local bands: dark-country (posted a pic somewhere here) and Celtic punk/folk-rock/metal-ish. Also the acoustic guitar (prefer Martins and Gibsons) in Irish pub-songs ad-hoc project and in Scandinavian neo-folk choir/band. I play the mandolin and the electric guitar at home and sometimes on the records of my bands. Music takes almost all of my free time (which is not that much left after the day job and family).
