I´ve been playing guitar on and off since high school, I´m not really good and I want to get back at it the near future, but I always loved the instrument and the craftsmanship that goes with it. I also have family members that work at the Fender Custom Shop so that gave me the chance to play all type of 1 of 1 pieces or artist prototypes that are incredible. So yeah…
Here are the two guitar that I have at the moment, I call them “Girl” and “Queen V”:
I love those polka dots!
I used to have a Jackson Rhoads RR3 too, but found it too awkward to play and sold it many years ago.
I used to play all the time. Haven’t taken the time much lately. I miss it, honestly. Used to play guitar and bass at my church, but since Covid we’ve just used Zoom, and I haven’t really been practicing. I’m an Ibanez guy.
Is this thread dead? Lol, I’ve recently picked up my guitar again to self learn, really wanna do my best to commit to it, so anyone else learning that wants to chat, or any one that wants to throw 
(see what i did there) out tips or tabs, or good beginners songs or videos. I would greatly appreciate it.
I know it’s gonna be a long journey aha.
Also been playing/learning Ukulele for around same time period (Concert and Baritone)
Would luv if you pmd me some of the videos you been watching to learn✨️
Justin Guitar has been a help, and mainly just looking up beginner chords and chords as I need them when I was looking up a song.
Guitar?
I can’t even play the Radio🤡
Seriously, I did find out about the Amazing musician that has only been playing the guitar for 2 weeks!
He learned Fast simply by watching internet videos.
Been moving around pretty intensely the last few years so my guitars have mostly been sitting in storage 
but I’ve got my tried & true acoustic with me now so I get to actually play which is fantastic. I’m hoping I can get at least one of my electrics to the new place so I can start relearning soon!
Always down to chat about guitar/music and yo-yos, just give me a holler 
Here are a few I’ve owned over the years from left to right. Apologies, it’s probably going to be a long post.
Fender Telecaster - Heavily modded burgundy / Midnight-Wine MiM Telecaster it was my absolute favorite guitar. I had a ton of time and money into it and I hate myself for selling it but at the time (around 2012 I think) I got scammed trying to buy an iPhone 2nd hand. The person sent me an iPhone box with cornstarch in it and then they immediately reported it / me and the transaction when I received it, so when I tried to open the case with paypal, they made it look like I tried to scam them which made zero sense because I hadn’t even had a chance to contact them before they tried to report me. It was messed up! Somehow PayPal / eBay sided with them and I ended up losing a bunch of money and I still needed a phone and rent was due a week later so I had to pawn my guitar. Classic story. I was absolutely gutted because it was my favorite to play and I didn’t want to sell it but I didn’t have a choice.
I had it set up with a push pull coil tap knob and an extra switch that would split between the two pickups and coils depending on what pickup was selected. The pickups were also upgraded from stock. Upgraded saddle and bridge, completely insulated on the inside it was a shredder. I REALLY REALLY REALLY want to get another tele. Like, SOON!
Dean ML - It’s Dimebags iconic geet. If you don’t know who that is.. well.. uh.. What are you doing with your life MAN!? 
It shredded and I loved it, I mean.. It was a freaking ML! But at the time it was too big for the apartment life because I had my guitars in my living room and it was getting cramped. I also sold it to help fund the telecaster above.
Dean 350F I had enough left over from selling the ML I bought the 350F for dirt cheap at the local guitar store. They were marking a bunch of stuff down and somehow I managed to get it for like, $125 and they had just come out recently so I had to snap it up. It was pretty cool and played well but I just didn’t form a bond with it. I kept it for a few months and then sold it for $300 on eBay 
ESP Eclipse EC-1000 See-Through black cherry - This was one of my first “big boy” guitar purchases. I bought it in 2002 or 2003, maybe 04, I can’t remember haha! A few of my friends and I were in a couple of bands at the time and I remember wanting something better than the 90s strat that I had (sadly I can’t find pictures of it, but it was red and it had a big Marlboro sticker under the bridge saddle lol) so I saved up a bunch of lunch money, birthday money, etc. etc. Finally managed to get it. I felt like a king it was so nice looking at the time with all of the abalone binding and inlays. I babied that thing, so much so I was afraid to take it out of the house. So I didn’t do many shows with it. Also, it was freaking heavy as hell. I kept it for a few years but ultimately sold it for something else later on because I found I didn’t really like the shape that much and the weight of it was just too much to practice with sitting down.
ESP Horizon This one was super cool I got it in 2015, I really liked the blue because it was different than anything else I had previously. For some reason I always seemed to end up with a red or red-adjacent guitar. Red isn’t even a favorite color of mine, it just so happened that way 
Anyway. I really liked this one and would have liked to have kept it, it played amazing and was super comfortable. My youngest sister was really really really into it and she was wanting to get more serious about playing, she had some el-cheap-o guitar so I gave it to her. I “think” she still has it but I don’t knwo
Ibanez RG Got this one in 2015 a couple of months after giving the ESP Horizon to my sister. It’s currently the only electric that I have at the moment. I’ve upgraded the pickup guards and nobs to glowy ones that I made. It plays well, the EMGs that are in it are super hot though. I like it but don’t love it. The neck radius isn’t my favorite. It’s still a cool guitar though.
Palmer Acoustic - This is the guitar that I have had the longest and will never part with it. It has too much sentimental value. My grandpa got it for me when I was young and just starting to show a lot of interest in learning guitar. I had a cheap plastic guitar with plastic strings and it was hot garbage. So, knowing I wanted a real guitar and also having seen what my bio-father did to me* at the time he tried to make it right and get me something good.
“*” (bio-father built me a strat out of parts (this was in the 90s so it was legit good parts) and gave it to me on Christmas. A few weeks later he says he still needed to fix a few things on it so I gave it back to him. Well, he never gave it back to me, he sold it for gas an cig money.)
It was for my birthday that year after I had unwrapped everything, grandpa said, oh there’s one more thing! He went downstairs for a minute, when he came up the stairs he held it up and was like, “what do you think of that”!?! I was so excited and I’ve had it ever since. (now I’m crying haha) I’ve had this one ever since and while I’ve outgrown it I can’t ever let go of it. It needs a little tlc but I still get it out and pluck around on it every once in a while. It’s crazy it stays in tune better than some of the most tech’d out tuners and stuff. I can leave it for months and it’ll still be in tune. It’s been with me for like 5 moves and growing up from a kid to an adult. There’s no way I would sell it. I almost did once in 2007 but thought about it and didn’t do the deal. Today, I am glad that I didn’t. I miss my grandpa so much (he passed in 2021) and only as an adult I’ve seen how much he really cared and tried to give me a good life and upbringing. (I was raised by my grandparents).
no
but im starting to take lessons in like a week
Yes and no, couple years ago I took up Classical Guitar and reading sheet, got really proficient in the first position and was ready to move on to the next position and ornamentation
Then we learned our first was on the way, haven’t really played since. Might pick back up one day though 
Been dabbling with a lute on and off too, French tablature takes less brainpower for me
That’s awesome!! Are you completely new to it?
yep i tried strumming with my siblings guitar and then heard a pro play
and i was like that is the instrument i want to play so i asked my mother and she said ishoul give her some time to think about it (wich basicaly means yes)
im super excited
That’s great to hear, I loved my early lessons. They seemed so boring at first but my good foundation lets me work through challenges in playing really well
Never forget this tip someone passed on to me. If you can play it slow you can’t play it fast. Slow is awesome practice
yeah i tried lerning a chord without lessons ( from quora)
but it was realy hard
Everything is hard until it isn’t, that’s the truth of any instrument
A good teacher makes it much easier, just ask lots of questions as you go and work on all the silly exercises. You’ll be playing one day and be amazed at how hard you thought something was 
I play guitar! I’ve been enjoying it after a long time not playing much. I really like my Charvel with Custom PAF type pickups.
yep thats my dream ( and i hope will be my reality)
I’ve played guitar for 30 years and I recently watched YouTube videos from Jim Lill that sent me down a rabbit hole into guitar nihilism.
My recommendation to everyone who plays guitar is to watch this video (and Jim’s other videos) before you buy any more electric guitar gear:
