[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]Good for you that you play guitar every day. Do you play alone or with others? What style? What equipment? [/quote]

I play every day but I still suck. I mean I really suck, no joke. But I really like it. I only play alone, a lot of classic rock, some more modern rock, and some blues. A couple of country songs. I have way more guitars than I need or deserve and I am a text book example that equipment doesn't make you a better player. But, I have a Gibson SG, a Gibson Les Paul Faded, a Gibson Explorer (this is my guilty pleasure guitar), a Duesenburg Dropkick Murphys Signature (because I love Dropkick Murphys), a Fender Telecaster, a Fender Stratocaster, and a Taylor acoustic. I have a Bad Cat Black Cat amp, a Roland Blues Cube amp, and a small 5 watt Marshall combo amp. This is a lot of stuff that I don't come anywhere close to doing justice, but it is really my only hobby. [/quote]

G.A.S is real!! Which Taylor?[/quote]

I have a 312ce. It's a smaller body that is nice for couch playing.

Excellent choice!!I love the 12 series for just that reason. Plus, the shorter scale is easier for me to make those longer reaches. Sapele makes a nice tone wood, similar to mahogany in sound. I had a friend make me small jumbo using Lucky Strike redwood as the top wood, and a beautiful claro walnut back and sides. Talk about a great combination! It's short scale with a sound port and not a lot of fancy inlay (I like the wood to speak, not the bling). It's by far now my favorite guitar but that sound port really lets me hear the suck up close and personal :mrgreen: Without a doubt, I sing better than I play, so I let the guitar back me up. Eric Clapton I'm not. I tune 1/2 step down and capo up as it's much easier for me when I play a song in the key of D to sing 1/2 step down. I'll go what I call "Jewish girl shrill" if I don't, and I come by that honestly! I play a lot of Americana so I don't have to play really well as the chords are pretty basic in that genre. Three chords and the truth - Harlan Howard had that right![/quote]
