Does anyone else play the guitar? (2 Viewers)

[SuchSmallHands]

I play guitar! I've been playing for 12 years but I'm not overly dedicated, it's just for fun.

 

[turntaker]

So I've heard from reviews. If you can look past the Squier brand then it would be a great guitar.



Bandmates would be fun though (if you got along). I've never been in a proper band.

I used to be in a band which lasted for about 2 months haha. Now I just play at school with my friends.

Do you think its possible to meet other band members at uni!

 

[Amleops]

I've been in a few bands, they were good for the short term, but we all had very different musical tastes so they didn't survive past high school.

Should be able to meet potential band members at uni though, most of them have a musician's society. I'll be joining the USYD one next year.

How many years have you been playing

About 4 years

Self taught or lessons

Both, mainly self-taught

What type of guitar(s) do you play

My electric is a knock-off squier called "Arizona", I forgot what brand acoustic I have :/, I have a Squier precision Bass (my favourite) and a Mahalo Ukulele

How many guitars do you have

2 guitars, 1 bass, 1 ukulele

What style of songs do you like playing

I don't enjoy guitar very much. So when I play guitar (which is fairly rarely these days) I usually just play simple chord driven songs ie Nirvana or some cool licks ie Joy Division. However, I enjoy bass much more and like to play Oasis, Nirvana and Arctic Monkeys. I think Joy Division is particularly good for bass, because the guitar is so minimalistic, allowing the Bass to really shine.

7, but don't play now due to a lack of time. Self-taught. Classical, electric, bass. Not jazz, because I don't have the skills.

I've been wanting to learn how to play a guitar. I don't think I will learn when I self study. I prefer someone teaching me all the basics.

YouTube tutorials saved my life! I tried getting lessons when I was in primary school and the teacher made me hate guitar with a passion. Years later I picked it back up and self taught on online tutorials. Not only is it free, you can learn at your own pace and learn the things "you" want to learn.

I can play the guitar poorly.

 

[calamebe]

Yeah I've been playing for 9 years. I mostly play rock, though I'm starting to play some metalcore.

 

[turntaker]

So update, I don't play as much these days. Thinking of upgrading my guitar so I can be more tempted to play haha.

Do any of you have a Cole Clark guitar?
Thinking of getting a locally hand built one for 1k-1.5k at the end of the year.

I don't, but I've got friends who do. I picked up my Maton for about that price, a Cole Clark around that would be great too.

bro, I tried doing over the summer break. It was confusing asf.

 

[Queenroot]

You need to learn some basic musical theory before you can practice learning chords and stuff otherwise it will be confusing
