[proeuthanasia]

[NicoleC]

[richter915]

duuude that fucking rocks...I have a bass..we can start a band...or have a huge orgy with our instruments.

[RUFiOOOOOOO]

YEAH!!! Congrats Jessica! Brings me back to when I got my guitar last year, it was such a great feeling and soooo goddamn cool! Even if I suck at playing it, I still look and feel it with admiration. Have fun with it and ROCK ON!

[Greg]

i hate people who start playing guitar just to be cool or to fit in. that pisses me off so much. you should play it because you want to play music. and nothing else. im not saying you did it because of that. but i know alot of people who do. and it pisses me off sooooo much.

the best idea i've heard in years. let's start a band while having a huge orgy with our instruments.

for a second i thought you were suggesting that that's what i had done. i'm glad you stated otherwise. i hate it when people get guitars just to 'be cool' too. 'you should play it because you want to play music' - i could not agree more. why would someone buy a guitar for reasons other than to play music? the whole idea is just...absurd. it's like kids who buy shoes and never wear them. they just want them to be able to say that they have them and to 'look cool'. not to mention they go into convulsions when the damn things get scuffed. i really resent a lot of people. but yes, greg..i actually intend to make use of the instrument. next time you come across someone who bought a guitar just to 'fit in'.... shoot them for me.

[Tom Foolery]

I just bought my guitar so people would want to have sex with me!!!

[NicoleC]

i dont own a guitar. for some reason i dont like girl bands or girl fronted bands.. so i wont purchase one because i dont want to hate myself.... if that makes any sense...

what is it with you and your constant readiness to attack greg? the kid is overweight. yes. but answer me this: who the fuck cares? give it a rest tonebaz.


and no, to the three of you above me, girl bands are not particularly appealing to me either. but i am one hell of a singer and i am not modest about it. if i were in a band, i would not let the issue of gender get in the way of the quality of our sound. that would be ridiculous. i have an alto voice anyway. (for those of you who are musically stunted, that means my voice is low. i sound close to a guy when i sing. slightly different tone, same basic pitch.)

Thats partly the reason why i don't like girl bands they try too hard to sound like guys i might aswell just listen to a guy band. ( look i'm not trying to say that you try to sound like a guy, i'm sure you don't. But most girl bands do)

what are you talking about? i just said 'i sound close to a guy when i sing'. i do not take it as an insult. infact, i would much rather sound like a guy than a girl. i wish my singing voice was more like the typical male's. however, my voice is naturally low. i do not 'try' anything. that is where you insulted me. mistake, dear.

who the fuck cares about your low voice, girl bands still suck and i wouldnt pay money to see them perform onstage with a guitar or on the drumset, unless they were naked. and if you must know i think greg is annoying and im ready to attack him because of how he thinks guys who get laid treat girls disrespectfully, or how he says hes gonna stop posting several times but then comes back no matter what, or assumes people who play guitars just are interested in it because they will fit in with an online messaging board, or how on his picture thread he posts himself over and over again with fight club in his hand, i dont like him, i think hes annoying and thats why theres the constant readiness with attacking greg and i could care less what you or anyone else of "our" virtual friends here think about it. what the fuck is with you postimg about nothing but sex? im assuming because your an attention whore or you just plainly like to do it. nothing personal, but i think you should make a porno and show it to all of us (if youre 18 of course) or give the whole talking about sex thing a rest or at least cut back because youre probably not giving anyone here a hard on anyways cyber girl, and i bet that goes for greg too. now tell me this, are you going to take any of this into consideration? probably not. you most likely dont care at all. and it goes both ways.



hahahahaha. i understand that greg bothers you and that you have perfectly valid reasons for not liking him, but you have absolutely no grounds to be so hostile toward him. calling him 'fat' a series of times is not going to do anything but maybe give the kid a cut or two on the self-esteem. and i cut back on the discussion of sex weeks ago. that was the rant of rants tonight though, i must give you credit for that one.

tell me, does anyone else here have a crate amp? i got a small, cheap one because i wanted to invest more money into a guitar i wouldn't have to upgrade as i got better at playing, and i'm not sure if crate's are quality. i'm assuming they are?

I've never heard of Crate, but having a good amp is really important it does wonders for the sound of the guitar. It can make a crappy guitar sound good like mine.

im in love with my mexican strat

I bought myself an Epiphone Les Paul Standard Plus..i love it.

yeah i saw them at warped tour .. she looked hot from far away but .. they were ok. i like how you grabbed the thread and switched direction with it =\

anyway about the guitars .. i've wanted to learn for so long but my dad was always a dick and would never let me get one .. so now that i'm at school i played my friends and i'm lookin to buy my own in a paycheck or two .. want to get something good, but cheap .. (maybe 200-400?) so if anyone knows about this shit (which you should with it being a music board) someone lemme know ..

Yea, I know a few kids who did that. And then my one friend who can never be outdone, gets a fucking guitar the week after I get mine. He doesn't play it much anymore. I take lessons tho, so I kick ass at chords and sheet music, but until I'm done I look like I suck, as he's 'shredding on his axe.' God, I hate that term!!!!

[blaarg]

i don't own a crate, but a few of my friends do, and i've played on them. they're definately good practice amps but they won't work too well if you plan on playing with a drummer (unless you got one with about 75-100 watts) but i'm guessing that's not really much of a concern now, considering you're just starting.
and getting a strat was definately a good decision, i remember getting my first guitar, it was a piece of shit. it's always easier to learn on a good guitar.

[NOFXdesendents5]

I got my first guitar when I was eight. I got an Ibanez when I was 10 and last year I got a Fender Strat. To bad punk rock doesn't require serious skill on guitar....

He can't help being a little overweight, kinda like your mom couldn't help drinking when she was pregnant.

i got my strat for 350 yesterday. and that's a great guitar, definitely a series of steps up from a squire (both are made by fender). i could get up on stage and play it right now and it would be just fine. unlike many guitars people start out with. i was just lucky. thing is, guitar center's having a huge ass sale and the original price was....499 i believe? so i'm not sure if that's within your price range. god knows i wouldn't have been able to get it if it was 500. if nothing else, get a squire. they're decent guitars and good for beginners. you're going to have to upgrade it to a better guitar eventually, but you'd be able to get one for a lot less than 400. the one's here were only 1something but, once again, they were on sale. so i don't know the true pricing. just go to a local guitar vendor and check some stuff out. see what you like.

alright, thanks joe. and i agree that it is easier to learn on a good guitar. it's a better investment also because you don't have to spend money on one, then go out and buy another once you get good enough to need a decent guitar.

What? Squire SUCK so bad. I love Fender but Squire makes an awfull buzzing and rattling sound when you try to play it and you constantly have to tune it too.

yes dear, but he is a beginner and he asked for a guitar he can afford. suggest something else to the kid then.

[fezwik80]

i should be getting a new set pretty soon and yes i have been playing the drums for the better part of my whole life so suck on it

[proeuthanasia]

i love drummers. something about them is just...sexy. and no, for all of you 'sex discussion' nazis, i am not aroused by anything and everything. i'm serious on this one. i'm working on drums next. my uncle has a nice set and he says he's gonna give it to me in a couple years.

Or if you're a begginer start off w/ an acoustic guitar like i did. Remember you get what you pay for so don't waste your money on a Squire like i did when i bougth my first electric guitar.

[NOFXdesendents5]

Im just going to make this clear cause it doesn't seem there are very many serious guitar players here, the guitar is spelled Squier and Fender does not make Squier guitars. Squier makes Squiers. Fender just owns the company.

Squiers SUCK. They sound like ass. I am proud to say I have never owned one because the pick-ups...blew.

Go to the small shops. Get a used if you have to, they're a lot cheaper and you can always bargain with the store. I've been going to a store here (Retrotown) for a while and the guys awesome, he'll give you deals and discounts if you just talk to him.

Yea.. there's a small shop I always go to all the time, they're nice like that too. I just bought a really nice taylor at 30% less than what it would have normally cost.
