The sweater-guitar connection
 

It becomes more apparent everyday that everyone plays guitar. I walk down the street and hobos play guitar. I go home and find my 5 year old cousin playing the guitar (although i bought it for her). My sister often "borrows" my guitar even though she has no idea how to play. I dont go a day without hearing someone playing a really botched version of stairway to heaven or smells like teen spirit. Ive been playing for around 8 years and the whole time i've hated fellow guitarists around me (not all of them, just the chumps really), but i've decided to accept all those who "play guitars". im sure if you suck, which a lot of you do, theres not all that much harm done because people will soon stop listening to you and will no longer be impressed by your redition of house of the rising sun or purple haze.
so what i decided now is that, instead of this being a complaint thread, its simply a guitar/guitarist appreciation thread.
post pictures of you guitars, post songs you love to play, post yourself playing, who gives a fuck.
these are my guitars

I play badly. Thank you for your attention.

snob

once my enemy, now my brother.

i play guitar. i have for...about eleven or twelve years now. i've got a standard sunburst mexican strat (with a painting of a robot named GLAM-BOT on it) and an epiphone dot ripoff (kay brand).

did you paint the robot on it yourself?
post pictures!!

that's a lot of boss pedals. is that a jcm 8 in the first picture?

that custom strat is ugly, waste of money

i do that stuff

dont' brag

ggk is really full of 'imself

i play badly too. jag hh and jag baritone

i play, mediocre. samples of stuff at www.heather-grey.com

disregard crap recording, lack of vocals, and shitty drum machine

BlissedandGone2 - since you're such a good player, we have this little ritual around here - record your version of Bury Me solo.

ask and ye shall receive





i think i painted it myself. i can't remember. my friend might have done it.

jcm 2000
and yea i have a lot of boss pedals.

ladies and gents, we may have the world's best sweater on our hands here

please post a better picture of the sweater

http://photos-818.ak.facebook.com/ip...517818_480.jpg and check this out!

is that an artwood at the top?...fuck yeah thats what i play

complete with bonus giant wonder woman coffee cup

yea haha. im actually really impressed how its held up. the equalizer on mine doesnt work so well and i never thought it sounded great plugged in, but it plays pretty damn well and it didnt cost too much at all. do you like yours?

OH MY GOD WHAT AN AMAZING SWEATER! ITS EVEN MORE AMAZING THAN I THOUGHT.


this thread is now officially guitar/sweater thread.

why is it that everyone everywhere for all times has chord organs, and they say they got them for $1 at a thrift store, but in all my days i have never ever seen one even for sale?

what do you think of that super shifter?

i love mine...its not electric but artwoods are such a good value. they sound great and man are they pretty

:love:

dude! i know!!!
so i got this from my grandma a long time ago and i had never seen one until my band started recording and we pulled it out. it happend to be trash day in my neighborhood which is this summer thing where everyone dumps trash they dont want and before the trucks pick it up you can just go around and take whatever you want. so we're driving back to start recording right? and what do we find? another fucking chord organ!
whats weird about these things are theyre tuning is completely fucked up. they are in tune with eachother but not to any other instruments. its fuckin weird.

i dont have a picture of the one we got from the trash but its sweet and shocks you everytime you turn it on.

i have borrowed them for recording, and yeah, you're right about their own weird tuning. i just tune the guitars and whatever else to the organ whenever i use them.

Shocks you with its sweet tones?

no, to be honest it sounds terrible. well not completely terrible, but i dont like it for recording because it has this air generator thing that makes a lot of buzzing. i meant it legitimately shocks you with electricity when you turn the on knob.

this thread needs more sweaters

finally someone who plays opposite guard as well. I suddenly feel like we are soul brothers.
