any one here play the electric guitar... if so how long, and what can you play? as for me i just got a guitar about a month ago so im still in the beginner stages. But ive been messing around with songs like Black Sabbaths Iron Man. Its a good hobby to have when you cant be fishing.

I do I have been playing a while, I play for my church's youth band.

My current set up: Marshall MG 250 DFX 100 watt 2X12 combo.

                          Epiphone Dot semi hollow, custom wiring and lowered bridge,  

                          Epiphone Les Pau,l Bridge lowered

                          Standard Strat, stock

                    -gk

I've been playing for about 15 years.  

Guitar:  Fender American Strat 40th Anniversary Edition

Amp:  Fender Performer

No effects--just the clean pure Fender sound! 8-)

I've been playing for about 7 months.

I've got a Gibson SG clone

and a Dean ML

I try and play at least a little bit everyday. It's the only thing that keeps me sane through the winter

Played for 37 years. Quit. Played jazz, blues, and a variety of rock.

Suggestions: Get some books. Scales, chord progressions. Learn to

read music if you haven't done so. Practice daily.

Been playing for around 8 yrs or so....have a Mexican Fender Strat and an LTD 5-string bass

been playin about 2 years this time out. played about 3 years in the early 70's.

gibson faded explorer

washburn w166prog

fender blues jr. amp

Playin about 3 years. Mosty play classic rock, metal and blues. Right now I'm working on scuttle buttin' by stevie ray vaughn. I can almost play it up to speed.  I play in church too. As for recommendations, download a guitar tab program like guitar pro or power tabs. These programs will really help your timing.

For gear I have:

Epiphone Explorer with seymour duncans.

Homemade Eddie Van Halen Frankestrat.

Peavey Windsor Half Stack which I'm try to sell cause its too big, I'll be getting a peavey classic 50 combo instead.

Behringer V-ampire which I'm also selling.

I've got a bunch of pedals too, I'm making a pedal board soon.

heres a picture of my frankenstrat:

I'm a bassist (hence my posting name) and harmonica player and vocalist, been playing over 40 years professionally and semi pro. I have 5 basses; 3 electrics, 1 acoustic and 1 upright. Also an electric 12 string guitar, piano, Hammond and Italian organs, and a 100 year old mandolin. Diatonic harmonicas in every key, and a whole bedroom full of amplifiers, PA gear, stage lights, stands, etc. My reguler fishing partner is a saxophone wizard who I've been playing with for over 10 years. My other fishing partner is a monster keyboardist that I've been playing with for 15 years.  Music and fishing are both a big part of my life, and I started both at the age of 13.     Happy fishing.

I have been playing for about 12 years.  I haven't played nearly as much as I used to now that I got bass fishing on the brain  .

The good thing about it is that its always there when you want it though.

I've played on and off for about 10 years. I can't seem to devote the time to it that I'd like. As MitchIsFishin recommended, learn scales, progressions, etc. They're more valuable than learning songs.
