TSR Guitar Society

Hmmm, Are the Squire or Fender Guitars any good.

My guitar legend is everyones guitar legend, how could you people not mention Santana? His recent colaberations are the best. Top notch over the past few years

I own a beat up thing with plastic strings that I can't play, though it is my favourite possesion.

My Brother likes guitars and he's thinking of splashing out on a Taylor or Gibson guitar. I know I'd have it more than he did. But thats only a remote possiblity of him accually buying it

I think it needs a reasonable amount of members before it is officially recognised. But so far so good, eh?

Hey, so, what sort of things do people like to play? Myself, as stated, I like to play nice acoustic songs, although I'm getting more and more into the lead-stuff on the electric guitar.

So, while I like to play acoustic songs such as Your House my Jimmy Eat World, I also like attempting the fiddly-bits on the Zephyr Song by Red Hot Chili's on my electric guitar...

Anyone else feel the same?

Well I like all types really.... got an electric-acoustic, electric and an acoustic. I play blues, eric clapton and classical stuff on my acoustic, and on my electic I like stuff like jimmi hendrix purple haze- I just love that solo part! I couldn't play originally, but it's quite easy now once you get the hang of it. Great song

I haven't heard it, I'm afraid. My uncle was appalled (rightly so!) when I told him this christmas that I hadn't heard anything by Jimi Hendrix, so he made me import a CD by him onto my laptop. It's called "The Jimi Hendrix Experience" or something, and it's quite good, I guess, if you like guitar. Unfortunately, Purple Haze doesn't feature on the album, so I can't offer my opinion on the song lol.

ARG!!!! whats wrong with you!!! you should know this stuff. its music history, man!!! tisk tisk....your uncle is right.
I feel like **** that i didnt mention santana. sorry.
Other 'old' bands and singers you should know range from Neil Young (please download if you dont know) to Crosby, Stills Nash & Young and Greatful Dead, led Zeppelin, the doors,the who.... These are classics...great guitar solos. Stevie Ray Vaughn? forgot.
Anyways..since im not that good playing im now learning Bob Dylan stuff...its relativeley easy and helps me practice. i also recently learned Wish you were here by pink floyd. its great. playing right now.

Your uncle rules....
Purple haze is sooo good, download it!

I play the Classical Guitar (ABRSM Grade 7)

I play the Classical Guitar (ABRSM Grade 7)

Wow. That stuff is hard, harder than electric guitar grades IMO (I'm doing grade 8 LCM/RGT/somethingorother). I used to play classical but I didn't do any grades. Still, it taught me how to read music, which I'm proud of.

I know how to read music as well!!!! im proud also. its incredible the amount of people that play an instrument but that do not know how to read notes, only tabs.

yeah, it is difficult..... It still takes me a while to play music from a book when I'm first learning. But there's always tablature, but tabs don't tell you length of notes etc...
