Do you play electric guitar?
Jabba:
Hmmmm, let me see...
- 1 Classical Guitar (started training as a classical guitarist in high school)
- 1 Fender Acoustic (my first guitar
- 1 Norman 6 string Acoustic with Pickup
- 1 Peavey Electric Guitar (T-60 with phase pickups)
- 1 1976 Gibson Marauder
- 1 MIA Telecaster
- 1 MIA Stratocaster
- 1 Ibanez Bass Guitar
- 1 Ukelele
- 1 Mandolin
That about covers it. I don't play much anymore due to kids and their hockey and work and evil glares from the wife when I leave the family to go downstairs and crank some tunes out...

I played for about two years back when I was 17 or 18... damn that was 19 years ago! I am getting old! I had a cheap Peavey Patriot guitar and Peavey Backstage Plus amp. I was never very good.
I've always wanted a Paul Reed Smith, those things are incredible!
I've kicked around the idea of getting another guitar, but I know with everything else I have going on, it would just collect dust... maybe someday.
Dartful Dodger:
I bought a cheap Peavey and an expensive Fender amp, with the intention of learning to play on the Peavey and eventually buying a better guitar.
I took a group class that required an acoustic so I bought one that can plug into my amp, because I need to get as much out of that amp as I can.
The group class ended up being $100 to practice cords for an hour a week for a month. It wasn't all bad since I did actually practice every day because I didn't want to embarrass myself in front of the hot chicks taking the class.
I just got a SongXpress learn guitar DVD from Netfix I'll have time to try it tomorrow night.

I priced it here, and it was going to be ~$35 or so for a half hour one on one class.
Whatever happened to the kid that needs weed money? My brother learned a hell of a lot from a dude like that at $10/lesson.

Guitar Hero is what happened to those kids.
I have an Ibanez bass, but I suck. Wish I dedicated the time to it when I was younger and not so busy (any instrument for that matter).
drventure:
I was just telling a friend mine the same thing.
About guitar hero, though, he was telling me that over the last year or so, Guitar and bass sales have soared, and they're attributing the interest in Guitar Hero and Rock band. If true, I'd say that's not a bad thing at all.
Hopefully, i can encourage my daughter to take up an instrument soon, while she can still soak things up like a sponge :)
