Guitar Players??
I have had a guitar for years and started playing it awhile back, kind of self taught a little bit and then quit playing, one of the new guys on my detective squad is an avid player and only lives a mile from me so I talked him into some lessons, had my first one tonight and my fingers hurt, need to develop some caluses again

Re: Guitar Players??
I have a couple guitars in the back room, but I haven't played in years. Part of me really wishes it was more of a passion for me, but unfortunately at this point in my life, it isn't.

Re: Guitar Players??
I've been "playing" for 32 years. I have no natural musical ability. I'm pretty much tone deaf. Everything I've learned has been out of sheer stubbornness and persistence. But I play for relaxation and for the sheer joy of making some noise.
I've got two guitars, a Gibson Les Paul Mahogany that I've had since 2006, and a PRS SE Mikael Akerfeldt model that my wife got for me as a present when I retired from the USAF in 2012.

Re: Guitar Players??
I'm a long-time player, but severely out of practice.
Once you get those calluses built up, they'll stick around.

Her is a couple of my best that is recorded: This one is on facebook and I tend to sing this at funerals pretty regular: https://www.facebook.com/greg.gainey...489915/?type=3 Here is one of me playing along with an old Merle Haggard tune: https://www.facebook.com/greg.gainey...232945/?type=3 Here is another brief one of a Merle Haggard tune: https://www.facebook.com/greg.gainey...559979/?type=3 https://youtu.be/-NBDbdpw50Y This one aint no guitar playing but one of my proudest moments. My Mama died on November 2, 2012. She had insisted that her funeral not be a cry fest. I was able (by the grace of God) to do all the music. This isn't my greatest vocal performance ever but in the circumstances it wasn't bad maybe. https://youtu.be/amYwQ5iyZeU Here is a song that i wrote. I have only written this one song and one other in my life. My grandmother died in 1991, and my grandfather died in 1994. He died early in the morning like around 2 am. when I got home from the hospital around daylight I wrote this song in about 20 minutes. The first one is me doing three tracks of guitar and the vocals. The second one is a studio cut of the same song with me doing none of the music: https://youtu.be/B4DJx1TnmN8 https://youtu.be/yZh6ZrR3k3M I share this one for all the soldiers in the world: https://youtu.be/JX7qnCRGQOg This is one that I recorded when my Mama was sick from cancer. She died A little less than a year after this was recorded: https://youtu.be/RB-Q9h-Rp6w Anyhow that's me, and sorry to overload the thread with this but felt like sharing it. I did have the privilege of playing backup to Steve's dad once while he played the dulcimer and that was a great deal. Last edited by G G; 08-19-2016 at 05:21 PM. |
