Andrew 4748 Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 I actually do own an electric guitar (no idea which kind, I'm a total guitar philistine) so maybe I'll try giving it a go again soon. Pretty sure I can get the 'making loud noises' bit down. Coherency would be where I fall down. There are a great many good online learning resources out there nowadays tbh. I use musicisum for my own learning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 5220 Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 My Mum is quite an advanced player - also plays violins, pianos, flutes and the harp but her main instrument is the guitar (acoustic though). Needless to say, my musical illiteracy has always been a huge disappointment to her In truth, it's just laziness that ever stopped me, which is a bit shit really. I could do with being as motivated as you guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 44864 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Very nice Andrew. I'm not a fan of the colour but that's just personal preference. It'll be mint. I'm dead tempted too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 44864 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 [emoji38] I'm deadly serious this time. I've wanted a Les Paul for years but had told myself I'd get a Martin acoustic for my next guitar. But these look lush, so I'm tempted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do already have a les Paul standard, 2012 model, that's all that's been stopping me pulling the trigger so far really, it's a lot to spend on something quite similar to what I already own. That telecaster though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 14011 Posted September 13, 2016 Author Share Posted September 13, 2016 How much did that set you back Andrew? Looks class. Plus it's the most guitarist thing ever to go looking at Les Pauls and walk out with a telecaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus it's the most guitarist thing ever to go looking at Les Pauls and walk out with a telecaster It is a bit isn't it? Well I do already have a les paul, don't have a tele (until tomorrow evening! WOO!) £2k, down from 2,900 as its an ex demo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14011 Posted September 13, 2016 Author Share Posted September 13, 2016 Ah canny! Ex demo means nowt tbh, given the lifespan of a guitar so it's money well saved. I could easily have another Les Paul mind but I'm quite smitten with my Cort MBC1 at the moment so I'm going to try and hold off before buying anything else for as long as I can.

This is my first guitar buy for more than 4 years (which surprised me when I realised) being a lefty does prevent me from buying a lot. I do love that cort. I think, for the first time, I'm happy enough with my guitars and my amp (I love my amp) that I'm sort of...done for a while. On to the PEDALS!

Tom 14011 Posted September 13, 2016 Author Share Posted September 13, 2016 That's a long time, I'm naturally quite stupid for buying guitars, I can't help but impulse buy something or other. I think I'm going to polish up my Les Paul and Strat and stop buying really. I've got more than enough variation, the Cort now being my main shredder now I think. I haven't bought an amp in 6 years, so I'm kind of used to what I have. Pedals though....that's a different story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 14011 Posted September 14, 2016 Author Share Posted September 14, 2016 Same There just as expensive as anything else I suppose! I spent £400 on them last year and I'm not nearly done. I still need basic things like a wah pedal ffs! I'm going to sell my Fuzzolo and try to get a more basic drive pedal, all my amps have decent enough drive anyway but I rarely use them and it seems to mess with the effects loop.
