Guitar strumming

[TRock]

Does anyone play guitar " I am a rank amateur " but enjoy getting with friends that play music and swap stories . If so ,what type do you have. Hope this in the right category , don't know my way around as well as I hope to.

Been playing guitar and bass for 50 years. Played in bands on and off. Recorded a couple of cd's. Have a bunch of guitars and amps and stuff. Epiphone mostly. Sold my 75 Gibson flying v last year.

I have been playing over 50 years in country bands. My wife also plays and sings. I only play. I don't know how good I am but I did get inducted into the New York State Country Music Hall of Fame for my playing. My wife is in the New York State Hall of Honor, first step to getting in the Hall of Fame. I have 3 Chet Atkins model Gretsch guitars, A Ventures model Mosrite and a few I made, and a few Fender amps and 1 Peavey Delta Blues Amp. I no longer play out, just around the house.

I've been "playing" for around 50 years, on and off. I've been in a couple of bands, but I'm definitely not a musician. I put "playing" in inverted commas, but it should really be "playing at", because I'm just as bad now as I was 50 years ago.

I forgot to add that my old flying v paid for my 1860 Henry and a whole pile of ammo...

I can relate. Myself and a few of my friends were playing at a Seniors group once a month. Going to hopefully start back soon. We play the old gospel hymns and a touch of Bluegrass. I have a Martin HD-28 acoustic ,that is a better guitar than I am a player.

I have dabbled with pedal steel guitars. Love the sound, but seems like I just go so far with it, then sell out . Eventually I will get back in and start the cycle again.

Sounds like there is a lot of musical talent on here. I am already impressed with the line up of guitars that have already been mentioned. I am envious of the ones that can make playing look effortless, while I struggle along. But it is very therapeutic . I appreciate those that have already chimed in.

I have found that quality guitars and guns are like savings, that you hope you never have to deplete.

I have an Epi Dot semi hollow body archtop electric, an Epi Thunderbird Bass, an Epi Viola Beatle Bass, and an Epi acoustic Hummingbird. All good quality at reasonable prices. Solid, working musician guitars for clubs and and rugged use. Epiphone makes good stuff.

Yes sir, I have had Epi Les Pauls. Great quality...
