Anyone play an instrument?

Awesome, (not the nerve damage) but your guitars but is a pitty bout your hand. Ive only got 1 bass and 2 guitars. My bass is a Fender Squier (mint bass to play) and my 2 guitars are just cheap ones. Im still unsure if guitar is what I really want to play hence the cheap guitars but if it is then I'll upgrade to something nicer like a Gibson Flying V. I also want to get a 5 string accoustic bass for the sound. My neighbour has one and it sounds mint.

My guitars. (still need good amp upgrades)

Fender Squier


Harper Les Paul (nice to play)


Manix Explorer (crap guitar but looks cool)

To me the single-cut style guitars like Les Pauls feel perfect. And the sound is just amazing and full. A Friend of mine has a Flying V, those are pretty bad ass also. a little awkward to play when sitting down though.

Squiers are generally good guitars actually. Just I think the one I got was a bit of a lemon. It won't hold tune and the bridge pickup just up and died on me one day.

I'd really love to own a PRS of some sort. I could see myself easily getting a Singlecut, but part of me is interesting in their more standard styles.

I've played the harmonica since I was 12.

Wait, seriously? Cause that's really bad ass. I own one but never learned how to use it.

Totally. I remember when I was young really wanting one, then my parents bought my sister a guitar, and asked me if I wanted to play an instrument. I said harmonica, and they kinda laughed, but they got it for me, anyways. I haven't played very much in the last 3 or 4 years, but I can still pull it off.

I actually used to play the harmonica solo at the end of the D12 song "Purple Pills" all the time for my friends.

Mint I like them. Ive had a small try on a harmonica and I reckon they're pretty hard to play, might just be me.

I play piano, but I've been wanting to learn guitar for the longest.

They're really finicky. You can pick up a guitar and be told exactly how to play a specific note immediately. You'll pick up a harmonica, be explained how to play it, be shown exactly how to play it, and then it'll still sound wrong. Once you get the hang of it, it's fairly easy, though. It's just a lot harder to get started than with a guitar.

I know what you mean about the v's. Out of the guitars I have played the single cuts have felt and sounded alot nicer and easy to hold like the Les Paul style (which is my favourite guitar) I love the fret board style. I think I just having something odd like the manix. I am sure ive had luck with my Fender, after about a month of playing I might need to tune it. I did get a fuzz in the pickup about 2 years ago and a freind mentioned running a magnet over it and it auctully worked but apart from that no probs.
