Any Musicians here?
Most people don't know this, but I'm a guitar freak. My style is hard rock, and this generally carries it's own connotations. However, I've been playing for 35 years, and the bands that I grew up admiring and modeling where just that, hard rockers. I play everything from the Beatles to COC. My favorite work is stuff from 1965 through 1980, such as Blue Cheer, Black Sabbath, Zeppelin, Badfinger, Floyd and 1000's of others that I can't think of right now. But, I pretty much like all music forms. I'm just more suited as a hard rock musician, style wise.
Currently I own/play: Fender Strat (American Deluxe) - "My PLayer" Fender Strat (Aerodyne) Gibson Les Paul (Standard) Gibson SG (Tony Iommi) Fender Precision Bass (American Deluxe) Guild (semi-hollow electric) Guild (acoustic) Ibanez (S5470) I sing and have other instruments, but the AXE is my thing... I live waaaaay out in the country, so I can crank it up pretty loud an no one is around to complain. I'm a daily player and wondered if other members were musicians, played in groups...etc. I know that Wally Hayes, Neil Blackwood, Rob Frink and a couple of others are players. But I wondered who else were musicians around here... Any players here? What do you own/play? What style(s)? __________________ Alex Whetsell [======]~~~~~~~> Atlantavirtual.com Atlanta NOC |

Very nice!
I love SGs (Iommi and Angus forever!) and your guitar it?s fantastic. Rodrigo Y Gabriela are mexicans. The diference of mexican and brazilian folk style are the influences. The mexican music had a spanish influence, and the brazilian folk had a portuguese style. This is a e players of brazilian folk guitar: This is a master of brazilian folk guitar: |

Yes, I knew that wasn't Brazilian folk. I guess that I should have stated it, but I had listened to that RyM track for the first time a couple of weeks ago and wanted to use this thread as an excuse to show everyone how kick a$$ those two are on acoustics. Their names were posted in Spanish and that's what made me think of posting that link here.
Is that Carriero in the first part of the video from a later interview? It looks like they're on the Brazilian version of the Hee Haw set!!! What year was the guitar part done in? Speaking of Hee Haw looking sets, have you ever listened to Roy Clark? This is a crappy video, but it's a good version of the song!!! __________________ Alex Whetsell [======]~~~~~~~> Atlantavirtual.com Atlanta NOC |

I know Roy Clark. Very nice!
A friend of mine saids: Good music it?s good music anywhere! This interview was mad in 1980. Ti?o Carreiro dies in 1988 and many brazilian guitars players follow his style and tecnics. This is another brazilian folk guitar player calls Mazinho Quevedo. He plays Trenzinho Caipira from Heitor Villa Lobos classic song. In my opinion, he is a best brazilian folk guitar player..alive... But I like the USA folk too! Tony Rice is very nice! |

I took guitar lessons when I was a kid, but the teacher was pretty and I spent more time staring than playing. I did build a guitar, but it hasn't increase my musical abilities one bit.

I play guitar and drums (I try to drum) my dad and I build guitars as a hobby. I started playing guitar 21 years ago. I have played in three bands and have done about 30-40 shows.

####, Boys... those aren't toys!!!
If you laid every guitar out from the last two threads, I'd have a hard time picking which one I would want to try first! I'm looking at PRS now. I've heard nothing but high praise for their fit and finish, and a friend of mine/ours, Wally Hayes, has one as said it retired all of his other guitars the day he picked it up. Do you guys have any experience with PRS? Alex __________________ Alex Whetsell [======]~~~~~~~> Atlantavirtual.com Atlanta NOC |

The last PRS I played on had a rather chubby neck on it. If I'm not mistaken, it may have been a lower end model. It was a nice guitar though. I love my Gretsch hot rod because my hands have short-ish fat fingers with bigger palms and a clubby neck wears me out fast. The hot rod has a great neck profile. It sports a 9.45" radius and a pretty hard V shape down to the 5th fret. If you use a lot of chords, the GHR cannot be beat. The TV Jones pickups are incredible and the guitar just growls. The Bigsby is awesome too. On the rear pickup it's TWANGY. With both activated it's a good middle of the road setting and she's mellow on the front setting.
My dad is a die hard Fender guy and he grudgingly admitted that he liked my Setzer model. I constantly harass him about playing marginal quality, bolt together instruments! Before you buy anything, try a few Gretsch gitfiddles... Listen to some of the later stuff from Mr. Setzer and you'll hear the difference. Brian, Chet, Billy Gibbons, the Rev and all of the rockabillies can't be wrong... Just my two cents, but I'm biased... __________________ You can take laxatives and you can take a sleeping pill.
