@black again BLACK, FOUND MY ACUSTIC ELECTRIC I WANT.....
Mannnnnnn, your collection is serious business…
That could prolly kill two birds with one stone…a great acoustic AND acoustic electric.
I knew that was gonna be the hardest part.
I was just telling my girl…that extra coordination was screwing me up.
The song is super easy, but you have to engage the wah at the right time.
Thats the basics, but to really nail it, part of the song has the chords playing between the intro strumming…
I’ve learned a few songs like this….simple chords but the strumming just made it a monster to get right.
jack walsh13 you are rich so you can afford a $1700 acoustic.@black again BLACK, FOUND MY ACUSTIC ELECTRIC I WANT.....
I have the Taylor 114e Acoustic-Electric Guitar. It cost me about $650 when I bought it.
My original Acoustic was the Taylor 214 E with the cutaway. I really liked it, but just wasn't right.
I sent it back to Taylor to get it fixed, so I bought the Taylor 114e so I had a guitar in the house.
To my surprise I like the $650 guitar better. It really rings.

Yeah, J Dub rich...that nicca don't by NOTHING cheap!
I scour pawnshops and yard sales for $50 guitars
Yeah Black. I'm not fuckin around. I'm blessed to be in a position I can get some serious premium equipment to play. I just don't want to go through the bullshit of having to trade in guitars that depreciate in value overtime and lose money. I'd rather save up and buy premium shit that I can keep forever with the value going up.
Bruh, this just came in the other day. Sexy as fuck!!!! Sadowsky Metroline J Bass.Yall gon make me get a bass a lot sooner than I planned

She sweeeeeet!!!
I'm not up on that brand at all...looks hella nice!
Yeah man...I said from the beginning, that I wanted a few guitars that were way above my playing level, so that I could grow into them.
But I love taking em apart and working on them, also...
I just celebrated my 2 year anniversary of playing, and saw pics of the guitar I rebuilt...you should be at 2 years also, playa.
Congrats on sticking with it
That shit tight like naps...
You're lucky cuz you got D Dub and Chuck to school you...
I can't BELIEVE we don't have more guitar players on this board...you, Hnic, me..a few more used to pop in this thread...but that's it?
Fyi...are you up on the forums for Strat, Tele, and Les Paul players?
Bruh, there's cats on there been playing forever, and they're always dropping knowledge about anything guitar, amp, recording...music.
Yeah man that's the same bass Verdine White from Earth Wind and Fire plays. Yup. April will be two years. I feel as though everytime I put my fingers on the fretboard I get a little bit better.
Send me the info for those forums. I love going into the Talking Bass Forum. Excellent info in there. Yeah I'm hoping more members on here share their experiences playing the guitar and bass. If guys have never played let's all learn together!!

Yeah, I definitely can hear the difference in my playing, and tbh, ALOT of it is just from playing everyday....sometimes just noodling, but that really helped me learn to pay by ear.
What's next on your shopping list?

Well, I'll wait till the end of the year for the Gibson ES335. I'll cop it in December
After that will be the Taylor, then my collection should be straight. Although I'm not gonna lie I'm really feeling this George Harrison Rosewood Tele. Me feeling it means I'm gonna get it at some point.
I do need to start getting into pedals though.
GOD BLESS YOU BRUH. SERIOUSLY!!!! I'M GONNA WORK ON THIS TONIGHT!!!

Mannnnnnn, they been showing that Rosewood Tele like crazy, over the last month...that mofo sweet AF!
Yeah, I want it....even though I already have a standard Tele AND the Special Edition Custom Deluxe..
I recently saw somebody selling a 335-type body guitar WITHOUT the f-holes...nice but I want the original.
Yeah man that Rosewood Tele is dope as fuck!!!!Mannnnnnn, they been showing that Rosewood Tele like crazy, over the last month...that mofo sweet AF!

Bruh, you gotta have a Tele in your mix.
When I was a kid, it was Strat, Tele, and LP as my bucket list guitars.
Now that I've played all of em, I prefer the Tele.
Sheeeid, when I was a kid, I figured a Strat must be better...it's got 3 pups instead of 2 on the Tele
That line should end on 4 not 2. My bad.GOD BLESS YOU BRUH. SERIOUSLY!!!! I'M GONNA WORK ON THIS TONIGHT!!!

Those triple 4's should be ghost notes (not fully fretted) thumped and the top 4's should be plucked. Bottom 2's should be thumped.

Oh okay. Good lookin'. Gonna write this down in my bass tab book
What you got in your music book?
I have a manila folder with about a ream of copy paper, full of tabs and chords..
Plus, I have chords written down on post-its taped to the inside of the folder.
It's an ol School mess
I keep saying I gotta copy this into my phone..
But bruh, I got damn near every song I ever wanted to play, since I was about 11 years old.
Get a guitar tab book. Much more organized and neater. Only about 5 bucks from Guitar center. Get the red one. It helps writing out tabs I'm learningWhat you got in your music book?

I should've known there's such a thing.
I literally hand drew a page of the fretboard...I'm sure there's a more technical name for it, where the tabs go. And I made about 20 copies at a time.
$5 for a book vs the cost of a printer, 3 or 4 toner cartridges, and a ream of paper..
Yeah definitely get one. I found it harder to keep up with riffs on my cellphone. Better to get a tab book and write them out. Get a music stand as well. Trust me. I use that for my tab book and my chord book when practicing arpeggios especially.I should've known there's such a thing.

Got a music stand about a year and a half ago. ..3 or $4 at Goodwill.
I was hurting my neck and back tryna turn sideways to read music and play.
Funny thing is I never use it anymore, and the back pains stopped..
But bruh, I've bought so much other gear...sheeeid, I never met a gadget I didn't like.
You gotta get an irig. It'll allow you to play through a tablet, laptop or phone.
That's your interface for a buncha apps.
Also, do you have a repair kit? I think I got it from Amazon for about $15 and it has everything in it...for most maintenance.
What I'm tryna find now is a wax or polish for my guitars and a fretboard cleaner. I like my girls shining like new.
What you using to shine em up?
I have a small repair kit that came with my Fender P Bass but I want a better one. I don't have the cleaner and polish but I need to head over to Guitar Center and get some. I always keep my axes in their cases when not playing. Keeps them thangs looking like new money. What kind of stand do you have for your guitar when playing? I have the starfish one. Runs about $75. Excellent stand. I actually have two.Got a music stand about a year and a half ago. ..3 or $4 at Goodwill.

Yeah man, that repair kit is crucial...it has everything I need...winder, string cutter, screwdriver, ruler for string height..and more.
I'm also a stickler for keeping an extra 3 packs of strings on hand for the electrics and a few for my acoustic.
I've heard people use car wax, but I'ma see what's in the store first.
I play Ernie Ball Super Slinkeys...actually started paying them at about 12 years old...one of the few things that's carried over from my first attempt at playing.
I have all my guitars on stands...just basic $10 ones. They're all lined up, so I can always see em.
I have a stand for every guitar and 2 brand new in the box...waiting for the next two I buy.
I have a BC Rich Warlock...one of those weird shape guitars...I almost never play it, but it was my son's first guitar and I'll never part with it....unless he gets really famous and someone throws a ton of money at me.
It's like a Flying V in the bottom and it is the only one that's a lil unsteady on its stand...
When I get another crib, they're all going up on the wall.
Yeah they have special cleaners and polish at Guitar center. I'd only mess with stuff specifically for guitars. I'll put my guitar on my stand while I'm playing. When I take a break and stuff. But for thr most part as much money as I spend on these muthafuckas they staying in the case. Once I get my basement finished next year I'm gonna get a guitar srack for the cases. Saw some nice ones where you can sit the guitars up in their cases on the rack. Eventually I want a digital piano in the basement as well. I'm gonna learn piano. I prefer learning on weighted keys. I'm not fuckin around with becoming a professional musician at all Black. I'm all in on this.

They have a rack...it looks like a bike rack, and depending on the one you choose, they'll hold up to 8 guitars. That ain't enough. I have that many now, and I ain't done collecting.
I want a music room eventually...a couple chairs, a small stereo, and all my music gear.
I never thought about playing drums, until recently, but if I come across a deal, I'ma get a set...I passed on one, last year...they were giving a beautiful set away damn near for nothing, and I didn't get em. Still mad at myself about that.
My girl's daughter plays piano. Her son kinda plays drums...if I get the drums, I'ma make him play...lol. And I gave my girl my old Strat.
I told her I'ma get her a bass, instead, and we're gonna start a band.
I've seen racks that hold 12 guitars. Check American Music and Sweetwater. Yeah I can't wait to start playing the piano as well. Anderson Paak. really got me wanting to learn the drums as well. I'm gonna learn the saxophone also Black. Sweetwater has some phenomenal saxophones. I'm loving the black chrome look.
