  • G'day! I'm Carl, from Cambridge in East Anglia (UK). Been playing for just over 10 years! Q1: Where did you username come from? Has been my nickname for many years.

Q3: What's your main musical ambition? To get to a point where my music can support my life. Is a dream to live with and for your passion! Q4: Your "best" bit of gear - just the one?

    Your username pleases me.
    Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine.

Peaked in about '95/6 at a battle of the bands! Getting back into music last couple of years and even had my first jam in 2 decades last year. Peace!  =)

  • Hi guys, Jonathan here. Got recommended to the forum by a friend and finally bit the bullet! Thought I'd do as my mother taught me and introduce myself properly! So here goes:

  • Hi all, my name's Chris. I'm a relative newcomer to the guitar but been playing bass close to 25 years. I've nearly always had a cr*ppy old acoustic round the house but never got much past G, C and D. I finally bought myself some decent(ish) electric gear over the past few months and have just about got past the bleeding fingers stage!

    Currently taking weekly lessons and thoroughly enjoying the new adventures.

    Q1:  Where did you username come from?

    It's a fairly short, boring story. It's a meaningless username but it's stuck for some reason.

    Q2:  Where in the world/country are you?

    Walton on Thames, Surrey

    Q3:  What's your main musical ambition?

    To be confident and competent...and to gig more!

    Q4:  Your "best" bit of gear - just the one?

    1991 Musicman Stingray 

    Q5:  Your #1 ever track - again, just the one?

    Even Flow by Pearl Jam

  • -NFM--NFM- Frets: 10

    Hey all,

    Niall here - been playing guitar for over a decade, but not played live or in a regular band for a while. Been lucky enough to have an OK setup for home use, but miss having the chance to crank a tube amp up loud due to living in a flat - once in a while I'll rent a session room just to keep things at bay!


    Q1:  Where did you username come from?

    I'm not one for anything too creative as a username - its related to my own name! 

    Q2:  Where in the world/country are you?

    UK - Scottish, but lived between Glasgow/Edinburgh/London over the last decade!

    Q3:  What's your main musical ambition?

    To at least just be able to get a regular jam session of sorts... schedule doesn't let me right now!

    Q4:  Your "best" bit of gear - just the one?

    2009 American Standard Stratocaster - Its irreplaceable to me as I've modded it a little, and it just feels right to play every time. Bests every other strat I've owned (even other americans!).

    Q5:  Your #1 ever track - again, just the one?

    Where Is My Mind - The Pixies 

    (Long story - but lets just keep the reason to summer & teenage drinking in a field!)

  • 1) My name is my initials. Probably not a wise idea. Haha.

    4) 1962 Epiphone Coronet, or my inherited 1960 something (I think 5) es335. 

    5) Fwar. Tough... Changes everyday. I'll be cultured- "ode to joy"

  • Hi, I'm Ste.

    I'm 26, I picked my guitar back up after a few years without playing and it has been somewhat more addictive than ever before! I was in a band while at school and had lessons for a few year. However, I'm enjoying it that much that I'm considering throwing the towel in with my job, moving to London, and working as a guitar teacher- so that I can be in a location with more guitar opportunities. I currently play as often as possible, every day- sometimes 4 hours a day.  Am I going a bit mad? Should I really run away to London- Possibly I just need a gap year or so defaulttongue

    Questions....

    Q1:  Where did you username come from? My actual name.....

    Q2:  Where in the world/country are you? Wales

    Q3:  What's your main musical ambition? TI'd like to make a living from music

    Q4:  Your "best" bit of gear - just the one? It would be a Gibson Faded HR 2017... coming in the next few weeks

    Q5:  Your #1 ever track - again, just the one? Really loving BB King at the moment. However, there's something amazing about Zakk Wyldes Farewell Ballard. 

    Looking forward to posting questions to you lot and joining in in the discussions.
