- Thread starter VT1100
- Start date
Took guitar lessons many years ago but it didn't stick and I got frustrated and stoppedregret it but can't seem to get started again so guitar and amp sit there wasting away!
This ^^
I'm an ok singer. Sang in a few bands in a previous chapter of my life.
Now I occasionally go out with my buddy's band on jam night.
Had some od my coworkers over a few years ago and we jammed in the garage. I'm down for something like that again.

I heard you play the skin flute.

If your gonna go for a new tenor as opposed to vintage I'd highly suggest the yamaha jazz series - I have an 82z unlaquered and its fantastic

The Selmer tenor is out of my price range, at this time, so, I am looking into the Yamaha tenor saxophones. I will be visiting Cosmo music soon to see what they have in Yamahas and test them out... looking at the EX or Z lines, as you mentioned.

Make sure you also try the different lacquer types as well - the black, regular and un lacquered all have different characteristics to them. I grabbed an unlacquered one cause it had a really rich dark tone to it
I go through phases. Played in high school and College. Tenor sax, electric bass and some guitar. Then I focused on classical guitar. Dropped sax playing with college and girls.
Now I putz around with an electric acoustic with a wee peavy amp and old school distortion box and break out some priest or maiden.
Can't read music any more. Got lazy and moved to tab.
Can still make my way through have a dozen songs but forget the odd lead or bridge.
If I could dedicate a few months to some songs, I could reasonably fake it.
My kids don't have an interest and I don't make any time to practice.
Kinda pisses me off.
Going to go pick up the guitar now. Lol.

i play guitar and bass.
ive been playing guitar since '02, first bought a late 80s squier strat from a friends dad. slowly learned on that. parents bought me a norman b20 couple years after that.
then i had my accident, and could no longer play. i cant stretch the fingers on my left hand laterally.
in 09 i bought a jay turser strat copy lefty. turns out it plays awesomely. just had to replace the pickup/electronicts. awesome neck. excellent guitar for $80.
slowly been relearning to play. as lefty. hard as hell to convert. it reminds me of swinging a golf club/throwing a ball opposite.
i can't hold a normal pick, so i use an orbit pick
sent my norman to the factory to be rebraced and converted to a proper lefty. My next guitar will be a Godin A6.
i was willed a fretless bass in '11, from my wifes uncle who was a jazz pianist/bassist. he headlined at roy thompson hall, and was a session bassist. so ive been learning to play bass the last 2 yrs or so.
i use amplitube 3 for most of my effects/amp sounds, played through a keyboard amp. nice level sound.

No way im tje good way. I didnt even know this existed what a great idea.
I remember hearing about it when it first came out. Is a cool idea. I'm going to look into it.
Just picked this bad boy up. Gonna be an 18th birthday gift for my sis. Her first electric. Epiphone Casino. What do you guys think? She likes Strokes, White Stripes and stuff like that.
Hooked it up to my Mark IV and it sounds ok but not really my kinda tone. Not bright enough (doesn't have that bite with gain or sparkle when clean), not high output enough for my tastes, doesn't sustain like my SL1, etc. If I engage the high gain channel it feedbacks like crazy. LOL But I guess for that kind of music this is better and pretty sure this is the kind of guitar she wants.

i loved playing a friends fathers casino. such cool tone out of a very affordable guitar. i'd love to have one, or any other es-335-like guitar.
hard to find in lefty.
anyone else sing in choir/choral groups?
