Anyone here play guitar?

I have a Telecaster. Had it for about........... geez 15 years i think. Nice guitars. Have always looked after it but tried mucking about with the electrics so it's not making any sound at the moment and I haven't bothered to get it fixed because my amps have been "borrowed" for the last 10 years........i'll never see them again.

I have Gibson SG. I like it coz it's light.

Yeah, to be honest the Gibson SG is my favorite all around guitar.. There isn't anything really that i don't like about it.. looks cool, it's light, plays real easily, versatile, and hell of a sound.. If I was playing shows i'd probably prefer it over a les paul.. But as far as a novelty item and playing as a hobby i'd prefer a les paul.. Either way, Gibson puts out a good product, but Epiphone is easily a poor man's Gibson.. mine sounds fantastic.

Ive been playin for a while, im saving up for a new electric as i only have a crap one right now. The one i want is a steve vai signature series JEM7V Ibanez, its awesome.

If you want to hear a telecaster played far out, listen to Roy Buchanan. Also Will Ray, john jorgenson, and jerry donahue (all of the hellecasters) play them well.
Albert Collins (I think that was his name, the ice man) always played a bad ass tele with a capo on.

I used to play for about 6 years towards the end of high school.. I was self taught just by reading tabs and maybe one or 2 guitar books just to get some of the techniques and finger drills to practice.. I never learn to read normal music or any of the chords.... Which is pretty poor on my part I guess, but as long as you can read Tabs you can still have a tonne of fun..

I had a nice dark purple Jackson with reverse headstock very similar to the one below.

I used to stick mainly to metal - Metallica was my all time favourite to play.. Slayer, Sepultura etc followed... I also had a very nice Marshall 100w limited edition ValveState amp... Sounded great.. Unfortunately, and something that still upsets me today, I went through some really tough money times at one period and had to sell them at a ridiculously upsetting price to a pawn shop... Would do anything to have them back now..

I'm hoping one day I have some spare money and can get back into playing and buy my ultimate guitar, a Les Paul though.. Original if possible although they would cost a fortune... As you said, so versatile and just makes everything sound amazing.. I have played one once, and you just feel that you have a genuine work of art in your hands..



EDIT : Just found a picture of the old ValveState amps and a little article about them... Really rich, warm sounding amps..
