I played in a punk/rock/reggae/ska band in the late 90's and early 00's, when punk/rock/reggae/ska was still "cool" lol. Or at least we thought we were cool. I was never really good, just decent. I sang a few times, and I was as good a singer as I am a guitarist... which is why we never really got anywhere!
All my bandmates moved away, got married, had kids and got careers! I haven't played a gig in almost 18 years, and I barely pick it up anymore. I still have a Gibson Les Paul DC electric and Martin DCME. I took these photos when I was thinking of selling them, but ultimately couldn't bring myself to do it.

Ok, what's the hardest, freakiest chord you've encountered? I sometimes wonder if someone's trolling, who the heck invents these contorted configurations?
Here's one, D#m7. I always play another fret, this is just ridiculous. Link to some other doozies: https://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news...ords_ever.html

Don't think it's probable but maybe your fingers are better/more flexible/longer/stronger than mine, don't think I can play it buzz-free.

When you play chords, where is your thumb? Hooked over the top or pressed against the back of the neck?

Depends on the chord, my hands are small anyway, but for that chord, I don't think it's possible to realistically barre it or else they would've wrote it as such. Maybe you can post a video/pic if you can do it.

Edit: just to clarify, the bar is on the first fret but the G, B, & E string notes are effectively wasted as there are notes in front form the other fingers.

Oh ya, for sure my thumb's in the middle of the back of the neck, my hands are small/fingers short. Btw, nice PRS, need more pix! EDIT: no need to clarify, I wasn't gonna try to barre w my middle finger the 2 notes on the 2nd fret! My weak fingers man lmao.

After enough repetition your finger flexibility and stretch will be able to satisfy the highest mileage employees at a brothel. Guitar playing is 99% economy. All of our fingers work differently for both left and right hand. It's all about maximizing within your boundaries. Don't get locked into cold-hard method. |

So I'm learning this song and just realized that in the 3rd line or so the narrator is talking about "this black-haired flamenco dancer, you know she dances while *his* father plays guitar"...and I thought, that can't be right, so I watch the video and Adam indeed sings "his", so what gives, the guitarist is Mr Jones' dad?? Anyone have insights on this...?

Trying to keep this thread going, my topic is:
*Why did you choose your guitar?* If you have >1, pick your fave one. For me, Nuno is my guitar hero, so I was deadset on buying his Washburn N4. When I got to the store, it felt all wrong in my hands, neck was too big for me and it just didn't feel right. Was so disappointed. Fortunately, I came across an Ibanez and I always loved their look, and this was quite a close match to the Washburn with the wood+color/HH pickup config but with a thinner neck, so I was happy it worked out in the end.

To answer Tranquility's question, Reviews and reputation of manufacturers.
Today I added a 3rd guitar to go with my Taylor acoustic 6 and 12 strings. This is my first electric. My ears are bleeding… |

Started playing in 1976 and my brother and I had several bands in the 70's & 80's then did a ton of 4-track home recording thru the 90's.
Other than our first high school band everything was originals. I was always more interested in the guitar as a writing tool than trying to become proficient. I certainly got to be a pretty decent player over the years, but certainly never as good as I could have been. Over the last 20 years my playing has been pretty limited. But I've always kept a couple of guitars handy for when I go down to the basement. A couple of years ago I got most of our multi-track studio demos that we had recorded in the 80's converted into digital, along with transferring all of my old home recordings as well. So I've been learning a whole lot about mixing and having a lot of fun taking advantage of all the things you can do with unlimited tracks and the tricks you can do in the digital domain. This has also let to me picking up the guitar more often as well some very basic bass & keyboard playing to be able to kind of finish off some old partial recordings. I've picked up a couple of PRS guitars in the last year or two, but my Hohner G2 is probably the one I pick up most often (it's small and easy to grab). This shows my collection before picking up the PRSs and then pic of those two.
