How many Guitarist are here?

[IMFUCKINPISSED]

I would think many people play music here? That is one reason I am here ! Being a guitarist, and wanting Dave back in the band SOOOOOOOOOOO Bad!!!!!! So how many others Musicians are here?
And what are your rigs? And reason you started playing?

I play a Gibson SG through 2 100 watt Fender Rocpro half stack set ups.

Reason for starting guitar Was 1975 Ted Nugent Concert!
Ted was Excellent with Dereck St Homes!

[Panamark]

Yup...

Five guitars, a few Marshalls..

My favorite, my 85 Destroyer II and JCM800 Split channel 100watt

[Don Corleone]

Yip

Five guitars as well as an old Marshall Plexi, and a Pod for when I don't want to kill people with volume.

My favourite is my old fucked up Strat (it's been slightly modified), through the Marshall

[Hecubus]

Professional? Hell no.

Hobbyist? Hell yes.

4 Guitars. 2 elecs, Fender Strat & Les Paul Faded & 2 acoustics.

[TwoFoolsAMinute]

Fender Strat - Japan
Gibson Les Paul Special
Electra ES335 Copy
Ovation Preacher
Alvarez Acoustic

3 Peavy Amps
2- Special 120's (something like that)
1 - smaller amp

The Bottom Line: I totally suck, but I love to play.

hey ed, is that you?

[DeadOrAlive]

I've been playing for about a year... All I have is this crappy little Yamaha... Everybody's got to start somewhere though!

[BigDaddyD]

I have also been playing for 25yrs. I am 31 now. I have approx 14 guitars and a bass, 3 guitar amps, a rack setup, a bass amp and a ton of pedals. I started because of Clapton and then got into because of EVH. Now I dig Vai, Satch , Hendrix,SRV and Beck more.

[DLR'sCock]

I am a Bassist and a Singer(I am also a song writer too), I also play guitar too, but I prefer playing my acoustic....although sometimes electric...but if it's an electric situation it's easier to play bass, since there are 80 billion guitar players and no bassists...especially ones that play bass and sing...

[smaz]

I play bass, does that count? I have two basses, a Stagg BC300 or something - begginers bass and totally shite, and an epiphone thunderbird - fookin' ace, had it a few weeks now. Only been playing for 4 months now I think and I don't own an amp yet - I use my band's vocalists 2 x 100 watt speakers. Started playing because my friends - guitarist and vocalist - were pissed off with their current band, mainly the bassist, and wanted someone to play for them. So I got a bass and joined 'em.

Ive been playing since Christmas. Ive got a Strat rip-off called a "GK", so trust me, Yamaha is alright.

you have some pedals? Amp? Self taught or lessons?

Ive got;

Stereo Flanger
Phase Shifter
Dunlop Wah
MT Metal Dist.
Digital Delay DD-6 (im not as impressed with it as everyone else seems to be though)

and on my way to a Stereo Chorus.

Still using a Vibe amp/speaker box with separate gain switch.

Let's clarify

My guess is there are few "guitarists" in here.

Reading these posts only confirm.

There are many guitar OWNERS

Probably quite few guitar PLAYERS

But very few guitarISTS

I'm not trying to be a purist snob, I've just endured more than my fair share of professional hacks.

Most are now selling shitty yamahas to 13 yr old boys at Guitar Center for 20K a year

I tip them well when they deliver my pizza too, I just ask them to leave it outside the gates

[DeadOrAlive]

No pedals, just a size a little amp... The little bastard can get pretty loud though!

[DeadOrAlive]

Oh yeah, and a friend taught me!

[Cathedral]

Been playing and writing for 24 years.
I play 2 Charvel guitars exclusively and run them through a modified 5150 II half stack.
I am very liberal with my effects application which are supplied by my old and faithful QuadraVerb GT. "Less is More"

My older brother was in a band when i was just a tike and i always admired the way they jammed out Peter Frampton tunes. As i grew up that bug tugged at me until i discovered Ace Frehley and just had to have an axe. Hearing Edward Van Halen for the first time changed my whole perspective an made me want to be a better player.

Hey LoungeMachine, which bands did you play in?

[Fabulous Shadow]

I have a guitar, a nice lil Fender Strat that Wolfman bought me for my bday. I play for fun... Does that make me a guitarist?

Yup. In my opinion it does. You own a guitar and you play it. Just not well. I can relate. Im learning though!
