TSR Guitar Society

I've never been able to play an instrument but have recently grown the desire to learn the guitar - specifically the spanish guitar. I believe I have found one for only £20 in a shop near me and am on the fence of whether to buy it or not. I would love to learn to play an instrument (and if I'm good enough, start busking!) and it would also be a good way to occupy the time.

But I'm not intending to sing, most of my favourite music is instrumental, and I found the 'tabs' of one song. It all looks like a foreign language to me though! Just a bunch of numbers!

I've been playing for six years and a month . I joined this soc pretty much a year after I started... so the regulars here like Mustard-man and Sunburned Cactus have been around since I was a n00b! They're the soc's guitar heroes (amongst other notables).

Nah, DAS has unrivalled contribution to this thread Good to see you're still active as always, hope all is good man. Still on the JJ?

Things are well, mate! Fourth year of uni now, and it's exam time - which basically means my time on TSR is increased to compensate .

That probably makes no sense.

I am, indeed, still on the JJ! But more recently on Newton Faulkner as my skills have somewhat outgrown JJ. I love the man, but you always need something new to play, right?

How about you? How is everything?

Heyy everyone I've just applied to join the group :P

I play bass, I bought a yamaha RBX 170 for £145 back in february with all the equipment needed although I dont think I'm getting any better :P

Sounds good - you'll be a doctor in no time!

Been super busy with the masters this year. I started summer work last monday and will have my dissertation to do at the same time, so busy busy busy! My guitar hasn't had much attention as a result

Hi all, I just applied to join because I was reading through the thread and thought 'hey I play a guitar and these guys seem pretty awesome' so joined. Anyway, I have an Ibanez GRG170DX, which while not the highest end of all instruments I love to bits, my amp is a Vox AD30VT and I also have a Zoom G2.1u pedal. Also I just finished my A-Levels and am holding a conditional offer to do computer science at Nottingham.

I like a lot of different styles of guitar, some of my favourite guitarists are Paul Gilbert, Alex Hutchings, Eddie Van Halen, Guthrie Govan, B.B. King... and well the list kind of goes on. I also like a lot of guitar renditions of video game music (I'm currently trying to learn how to play the Team Plasma battle theme from Pokémon Black/White). Some of my favourite guitar pieces are Happy as Larry, Scarified, this particular rendition of Paganini's Caprice no. 24, in fact let's put just Su Meng in that list of favourite guitarists of mine... once again I could really be here all day.

I'll let you be the judge of whether you like my guitar playing or not with this... thing I uploaded in March.

Hey guys thanks for accepting me I was wondering, do you guys tab songs? 'cos I've been wanting to learn Mountains by Biffy Clyro but all the tabs online are rubbish, so if anyone knows how to play the song or knows of a good tabbing site can you tell me please? Thankyou
