I have been playing guitar since I was 10 years old. Up until 2 years ago I played with a drummer and bass player and would play out in bars occasionally.

My main guitar of late is an Ibanez RG321 fixed bridge with stock pickups playing through a Peavey Classic 50 tube amp.

Backup guitar is an El Degas Les Paul copy. Great playing guitar but it weighs almost 11 LBs !!!!

I have played four 1 hour sets with it before and woke up with a sore back.
Great guitars for classic rock.
The second pic is an afternoon/early evening set we did on the patio of a bar.I was using a Godin Detour at that time.

It was great to get home at 9 pm instead of 4:30 am if we do the night gig !!!

Keyboards, primarily organ. With electronic instruments, I lean toward jazz, but played liturgical and classical music on pipe organ. I'm looking into a new instrument, but due to my schedule, I haven't played much in recent years.

newbroom, those sunbursts in the back are Guilds. The smaller one is my first guitar, a 1964 M-65 and I still have the original hard shell case.
Russ, get some gear so we can jam in my basement. Someone put out a jazz album dedicated to cigars so we can do the same for pipes.

Sadly, I have no musical or any other artistic talent. Too left brained, I guess. I do play a mean stereo, however....

I'm woefully out of practice, but at various times over the last 49 years I've played piano, organ, clarinet, bass clarinet, violin (briefly and never very well), drum set, hand drums (mostly djembe), and miscellaneous hand percussion (more cowbell!). My wife is a classically trained soprano, and has taken some guitar lessons.

Well done, Booker. Now it's time for Eric Johnson. This Texas boy is unreal. Listen to Cliffs of Dover and Manhattan. The Intro to COD is about 3 minutes long and then he takes off. Roscoe Beck plays bass with him. Roscoe also played on the early Robben Ford albums.

Guitar here. Buddy Guy changed my life. I like to experiment with my sounds a bit. The Edge is a big influence on my playing. The trick is to still sound like I'm still playing guitar and not some messed up sonic scientist.

Trombone, drums, guitar, bass, and I've been known to sing a little here, and there... ;-)
