Just wondering if there were any musicians on the forum, if so what do you play, how long? what do you have?
I play guitar and sing.
- I have an '02 Taylor 310CE with a fishman prefix pickup (one shown below has expression pickups)
- I have Fender Strat (it is a frankenstein) Alder Sunburst body, Mexican neck (getting an SRV neck) and Tex Mex pickups. American electronics. it looks just like the john mayer strat (shown below). I am going to put on a lefty SRV neck to emulate hendrix playing a righty guitar upsidown. (i will of course string it righty)
-I have a fender acoustaconic 30 Amp for the Taylor and Hughs and Kettner amp for the strat. I have a midnight blues mic and a boss loop pedal. I also have a harmonica (G) and play a pretty good version of "mary janes last dance" other then that i dont touch the harmonica.
-I play a ton of dave matthews band, john mayer, mostly modern rock, some classic rock and i can play a few R&B/Hip Hop songs. I have been playing for 7 years, singing for 2. I take it as seriously as one with a full time regular job can. I have played for friends, family, in front of about 80 people once. I havent found any good open mics in tampa, and I dont really care to gig.
What about you guys?
My dream guitar, pictured as my avatar is my dream guitar. Fender is building the limited edition "John Mayer 'The Black One'" It will be very expensve and very amazing: (he is pictured below playing "the black one" at the concert for VT and MJs memorial)

if you can hook up the solo from Hotel California, Staiway to Heaven or Spanish Caravan (or whatever that caravan song is called - y'all know I'm ignorant 
), I got maaaaaad respect for ya. Well, either way, props 
I myself don't play any instruments - used to produce a little on Propellerheads s/w back in the day, but nothing released. I have a few friends who play tho. Maybe we should do a musical meet some time? anyone got a Scion with a dj set in the back?
I still have like a thousand vinyls laying around from back when I used to spin...
ehhh, Craig, this is all so impractical and so not gonna get me that Aston Martin, but I love music!

i am not big on solos. i would love to, but i dont have 10 hours a day to practice lead. I can play just about anything rhythm. The lead singer in a band will in most cases play rhythm anyway, unless you are a genius like jimi hendrix, eric clapton, john mayer. i can play hotel california, but not the solo!Break out your vinyls. we can start a new cheeseball band like linkin park. eh. i think the world has one too many linkin parks already.

when I was a teenager, I used to play guitar a lot, I like playing Punk Rock music(Greenday and Blink-182! Ever since I have gotten a regular job, I have lost time for playing and with it interest. But, I still have my guitar(electric Fender Telecaster and acoustic Takamine and amp is Marshall). I'll post pics later.
