I learned when I was 14, on an old Epiphone EA-250 my Dad gave me, after he and Mom got divorced. I fooled around with it when I was in High School, and could play enough to hang out with friends that played instruments. Then, I bought a Peavy Raptor 2, then I started driving a truck and never had very much time.
So, about six months ago, I bought an Epiphone DR-100 from Guitar Center. I've been doing refresher stuff, so I can re-learn what I'd learned, and it's been much fun. A couple of weeks ago, I put an Epiphone SG Special on lay-away at the local music store & got my wife's older boy a Fender Squire Stratocaster. He'll be taking lessons, has his first in a week.
Who Else dabs around with musical instruments, on the Fox T-Bird/Cougar forum?

I used to play bass. It was a lot of fun, I was in a band with my friends in highschool. We played some classic rock covers, a little metal. It was just for fun, we didn't get paid or anything. I ended up selling my gear to help fund my T-bird :D
I had a Kramer Focus-420S and a Marlboro B220 12 inch combo amp. Nothing special.

I don't play guitar.
I SHRED!!!!
No really, I've been playing casually since I was 14. Now I'm 21. I play pretty much all styles of rock, from Green Day to Ramstein. And some folksy blah. I've got a DeArmond telecaster body knockoff, that was my first guitar that I learned on, and a Gibson acoustic.
I can also play bass, and actually enjoy playing bass more. Its more fun to me. Unfortunately all my money in the last few years has gone to cars, so I haven't actually picked up any new equipment. I would like to get and SG like you got, my friend has one and the tone is amazing. I love the way it sounds, and it looks pretty bad ass. I would like to get a bass sometime soon too.

Bass is the top four strings of a regular guitar :p
I thought about buying one, but I'm digging 6-strings, right now.

I'm teaming up with an old friend this winter to record an album.

I used to be a pretty decent bass player in high school, spent a summer at Berklee for fun (one of the perks of living on the edge of Boston) and played bass for a metal band for a couple of years, nothing serious, just local teenage fun.
I still have my bass as well as a cheapo sg style guitar and an Ovation 12 string acoustic electric (I love the sound). Unfortunately I don't really know how to do much on guitar so I mostly hand em to my friends and say play, lol.
And yes, I was the total goth metal chick:

Ive always heard new england is the area for metal. That's where a lot of the "big" metal bands come from it seems.
Oh yeah, I've got 4 octave range. I can sing from bass to soprano. (without getting kicked in the junk). We'll see how long that lasts though. I know your voice is much better while young.
I've been trying to start a band for years, but its just hard to find people good enough to play with and still that you can get along with, while still wanting to play the same style of music. There's just not a lot of people around here that play bass guitar or drums, and not many voacalists. My perfect spot would be as a backup voacalist while still playing lead guitar. Thats right where I would want to be. Sort of a Jerry Cantrel type thing. Oh, I love AIC too.

I can actually match every note from G and up on my guitar. Thats how I figured that out. Going below A though my voice gets a lot quieter. I can hit them, just not loud. Its for a softer sound. I would love to be able to sound like that guy from FFDP haha. But, like I said, my place is on the guitar. I might have the ability to sing, buy ability and talent are not always the same thing. lol
I was thinking, maybe we should all get together at the next CJ and give CAT"JAM" and whole new meaning:rollin:

I bought my first electric in 1993 and I've been playing ever since. I've owned quite a few guitars since then; some sold, some stolen.
My current pride and joy is my '98 MIM Telecaster. I play it through my '66 Teisco tube head and it sounds unreal. Just as clean and bright as anything you would hear from Danny Gatton, James Burton, Roy Buchanan or any of the other "Telemasters." It sounds incredible.
I've done a lot of recording in the past ten years, some of it has turned out great (PM me and I'll show you).

I've been playing since I was about 15. A little bit of acoustic, a little bit of bass. Then I had no amp or access to an acoustic, so I didn't play very often. Once or twice a year, if that, at a family get together.
Then I bought a Peavey TNT 130 and started playing with my MP3 player, and shortly after a friend told his brother that he knew a bass player. That was a year and a half ago, and we've been playing nearly every weekend since then. One guy literally lives up the hill and around the turn. We had three paying gigs this summer, and just played a friend's house party for free last weekend. We'll be playing some (there's going to be an open mic in the shop to whoever wants to play) at our Halloween party, and I'm working on my brother and sister-in-law to have us do a house party at their place, free with a band-jar on the kitchen counter. We want to buy a PA, with whatever we make over the next couple of gigs. Right now we have one mic playing into a Polytone Mega-Brute (which is true to its name) combo into a Roland cab. It's ok, but it could be much better.
My parents bought me my 1st bass for a grad present, which is a late 90's Fender Jazz MIM. I bought a Yamaha electric acoustic when I got engaged to Ange, and last fall I bought a Highland Thunder Chief semi-hollow.

I just realised that I never took any pictures of the Highland and posted them before. I'll get some, but they might be a bit dusty. I know my Fender case is terrible. My german shepherd decided to sleep in it the other day.

Cougarcragar, that looks like a Fender P-bass knock-off. There are some VERY nice collections on here. And just when you thought things were getting quiet, Crystal hits us all with a dose of bad-ass!
A Cat JAM would be a blast. Unfortunately, I can't even afford a calendar right now.

My parents bought me my 1st bass for a grad present, which is a late 90's Fender Jazz MIM. I bought a Yamaha electric acoustic when I got engaged to Ange, and last fall I bought a Highland Thunder Chief semi-hollow.

I just realised that I never took any pictures of the Highland and posted them before. I'll get some, but they might be a bit dusty. I know my Fender case is terrible. My german shepherd decided to sleep in it the other day.

Cougarcragar, that looks like a Fender P-bass knock-off. There are some VERY nice collections on here. And just when you thought things were getting quiet, Crystal hits us all with a dose of bad-ass!
A Cat JAM would be a blast. Unfortunately, I can't even afford a calendar right now.

But at that age, it's usually something else entirely. What's the story with the Spencer's, Mayhem?
I might have a gig or two on the side now. A guy in my class, and two brothers that I met today, play lead guitar, second guitar, and drums, respectively. The drummer sings pretty well, I'm told. Anyway, they play a lot of metal, and just about everything else. Versatile is good. They want to do a gig in Port Hawksbury (where I go to school) early next month. I spent most of my evening learning new tunes.
And there's another group of guys in the same town that have a bachelor apartment rented just to jam in. I know the drummer from school: he's the guy who showed me around the place when he was taking my course last year. Now he's taking his third class. Cool guy. They don't have a lead guitar/vocals anymore because of.... band politics. There was a 'girlfriend' involved.

6 fingers is the best way to go. Otherwise, it is hard to play when your mind is so ingrained on only using 6. Fret a G chord? Not a chance, your middle finger will still be searching for which string to press down on, lol. So I found it easier to get mentally adjusted at first by putting a capo on the 5th fret, tune the G string down a half, and play it normal with the high string now acting as a high A. Later on I found it best to tune it to Bron Y'Aur tuning, and experiment with drones. Certainly not my "main" axe, lol.

I used to play ALOT, played in a band in highschool and had a couple cd's out, nothing GREAT but still something that i could put in a cd player and the people listening would ask who it is bc they are pretty good. Makes you feel good. I had an ibanez roadstar II, a couple homemade electrics, a washburn t12 taurus bass a yamaha 12 string and a couple other no name guitars. If i can find some of our recordings or pics of my guitars ill post.

Opened a case I haven't opened in about 9 years and realized I still have my black Ibanez Roadstar II in there... I got more cases I havent opened in years...I better start checking them too
