I was just wonderin if any one in here played guitar. If so what sort of songs do you play. Any recomended songs. Ill admit im not the best at guitar i havn't quite mastered hammer ons yet and pull offs are a bit of an ass. I mostly play metallica songs and the cult are always a favorite. any way what bout you guys what do you play.

I pretend to play guitar but I suck. I play a little blues, some light stuff like James Taylor, and old Grunge songs from when I was in school. I own three beautiful collectible guitars though. They are my prized possessions.

Aye, I have always wanted to play bass, but never found the time to. I just would rather play my sax.

I've been playing guitar for about 17 years. Play mostly blues based rock type stuff these days, but was heavily into playing metal when I first started.

I've played the air guitar to AC/DC since I was 4 years old. I'm awesome at it too.

Seriously, I can't play any instrument, although, I did prove I was able to learn how to play piano if I decided to devote myself to it years ago. I just don't have the attention span to do so, or the coordination to do so well.

I played the guitarr for a short period when I was teenager, that is during the Pleistocene. At that time, I used to play punk, new wave and similar, like Sex Pistols, Buzzc0cks, Velvet Underground, etc. I am sure I was horrible.

I play guitar, but I'm still a beginner. I've been playing for a year now and most of the time I'm just practising the chords. However, I know some songs of Bob Dylan, the Beatles, U2 and Acda & De Munnik, but you probably don't know them since they're Dutch

@CE: I'm sure you wasen't horrible, just trying to play that kind of music is fun, but I thought you were more into classic music.

I've played guitar for about 5 years now, and bass for about a year. i'm not very good, but i also mostly play extreme metal where the only thing you need to do is to play fast... got a beautiful 7 stringed ibanez guitar that i just have to brag about, it's simply wonderful to play on...

hehehe, playing 7stringed guitar isn't that hard, it's like playing a 6stringed one, just that you have an extra string to play with. which is great if you wanna tune in B and still be able to play normal chords... i've almost only played on my guitar the last years, but whenever i play on a 6 stringed guitar, it actually feels just as natural as my own guitar...

You play sax too? I know like 3 other people who do, there's not very many I don't think. What type do you play?
About the guitar-- I can play like 4 songs.. or pretend to.

i know it's a bit early, but i played in front of people after playing for 4 months....

and we're only playing easy songs at the festival. we where thinking about
Holy Diver(dio)
fade to black(metallica)
A Van Halen medley(that one not so easy)
and a song with real power. this is a metal festival...
and maybe a song we wrote ourself. anyone good lyric writers here??

I used to write lyrics for a band in high school, and used to write poems all the time, I haven't been able to the last 3 years though. Horrible writer's block. It's hard to write lyrics for a tune without hearing too. I don't know if you'd get good results without recording what you play and sending it to someone if you wanted someone here to write some for you.

Well yeah, I write lyrics, but I don't know whether they fit your kind of music. They're kinda singer/songwriter lyrics (like Bob Dylan, although I'm not nearly as good as he is off course

)
