any fellow (guitar) buffs??

tankus · 09-20-2003, 02:25 AM

i didnt know were 2 post this, but the thread does contain pictures, so, i figured this forum was some what appropriate..so,
any fellow guitar players here?
preffered brand? model? ive got an ibanez and can honestly say i wouldnt trade it for any other guitar in the world. its been passed down through generations(from my bro, 2 me, not quite a seperate generation, but anyway)and it was the first gat i ever played. in lew of my recent physical complications preventing me from (temporarily)lifting heavy, and having no current responsibilities(job,school, girlfriend)...ive been left with nothing but cable tv and guitar, so music, has been my salvation.
when im not sitting here wasting away my life on internet messageboards, im on old faithful, my rocking chair...
GET IT?? ROCK-ING CHAIR!!! I AM THE GODDAMN PUN-MASTAR!!!-intentionally mispelled emplying a slightly altered pronounciation.
dont ask me what the **** im doin here, i didnt know these pics were being taken.
(FORTIFIED IRON BRO's...hah, dont mean 2 post the exact same damn thread here for you 2 waste your time reading, once again, i need a host for the pictures.)

tankus · 09-20-2003, 02:26 AM

check out the stretch marks, about 1/18 of them are viewable in this pictures.

tankus · 09-20-2003, 02:28 AM

heres some better pics of the masterpiece itself....if this picture causes you 2 salivate, im with ya.

tankus · 09-20-2003, 02:30 AM

*sheds tear*
if only the marshal stack(old school, all new tubes) was here, these images would be complete. lent it 2 a bro for a punk sho.

Cure_me · 09-20-2003, 02:31 AM

Hey man. Lookin pretty ripped. by the way..I have an Ibanez too...RG 560 or somethin. It's awesome. It has the slim wizard II neck, super jumbo frets, and a floyd rose. Ibanez can make some badass guitars bro...

Cure_me · 09-20-2003, 02:36 AM

Here's a pic of it

Titania · 09-20-2003, 02:55 AM

Looking great. Nice axe too. What model is your Marshall?
Although not my main instruments, I do play guitar and percussion. Keyboards and piano are my forte (pun intended

).

tankus · 09-20-2003, 03:10 AM

thanks bro, not sure on the model, it was bought second hand from some old rocker with the hugest curly crop of a hiarcut in exsistance, twisted sister style. haha
its a 1/2 stack, from the early 90's i believe, still in mint condition, tubes replaced this year.

oh i also play piano.. took lessons from grade 4-6, haha. ive got a yamaha PSR-180, altho i must admit it doesnt get played much anymore, which is probably evident viewing this pic.(just pulled it out of the closet, kinda dusty)

KimChee · 09-20-2003, 03:49 AM

I play bass and some guitar. I've got an Ibanez Soundgear SR450, Roadstar II, and a BC Rich Plat.Warlock Bass. For guitars I have a Bronze BC Rich Warlock, TexMex Fender Strat, and an NJ Series Flying V.

Blood Sword · 09-21-2003, 01:43 AM

Pretty cool... Most of the time, the words axewielder and buff aren't mentioned in the same vicinity all that often.

Liftforyou · 09-21-2003, 11:35 AM

Word up.

I play a 6-string Ibanez Soundgear Bass. (I know, It's kinda strange and not usual at all, but i love the 6-string.) Here's a pic. Good luck with lifting and shreddin (both on guitar and BBing)

God Bless,
-Evan

Icex999 · 09-21-2003, 05:05 PM

I'm a guitar buff myself man. My equipment:

Fender Stratocaster Classic (1950s re-issue)
Yamaha EG-122 Electric
Yamaha Acoustic Guitar (don't know the model)
Martin Backpacker Travel Guitar

Amps:

I love playing guitar. It's so relaxing and challenging at the same time. Good times.

Supawood · 09-21-2003, 06:02 PM

hey guys. Help me out here. I would love to learn how to play the guitar. Currently, I don't own a guitar. I'm 20, never played one in my life. Did play in band in high school but played percussion. Anyways...what do you guys suggest as to learning how to play? Books, tapes, lessons? Help me out. Can't wait for the replies!

murph32 · 09-21-2003, 06:17 PM

****, your spoiled bro!
definately man. keep on rockin( in the free world)bruther.
supawood, the bests guitarists ive ever met have all been self taught. its good 2 learn the basics (powerchords/variations) then take it from there on your own.

carpediem · 09-22-2003, 07:19 AM

Nice Gitters, cool thread...

I have always played with guitars, unfortunately they are one of those things in life that are easy to liquidate when funds are short. Gone through a few of 'em...

Now, married, working all the time, lifting when I'm not working. Don't have a whole lot of time to play. I do have an accoustic at home that I borrowed from my brother-in-law for awhile until I decide to make another purchase. It's always fun to strum while watching a football game or hangin out with family.

I'm sorta ol school when it comes to bands.
OLD Metallica
Slayer
Alice in Chains
Pantera

on the lighter side
Dead
Pink Floyd
Moody Blues

Cheers, keep playin and keep liftin...

ToxicCorpse · 09-22-2003, 09:24 PM

Yeah, I'm the local shredder-extraordinare. Or so I'm told. I practiced my ass off for a solid 7 years then suddenly got bored with guitar, stopped playing for a year and began to concentrate on being the best bodybuilder in town. Now I'm trying to balance both.

I have an EVH wolfgang and some ****ty 12" Peavey amp...

I used to play allot of shred guitar in the vein of Steve Vai, Yngwie, Vinnie Moore, etc... but now I play in a band which plays my favorite type of music- old school thrash.

Sonny · 09-22-2003, 09:58 PM

I'm a guitarist too! Been playing for 6 years. I play an '81 Gibson Les Paul Standard through a Marshall JCM 800 half stack with celestion greenback drivers!

enigma_linear · 09-23-2003, 10:06 AM

I have an Ibanez acoustic/electric. I've had the guitar for a about 2 years, but have just dabbled in learning. Now I'm into it big time, learning more of Incubus and Cure songs.
