I'm Antonio and I'm from Portugal. Started playing when I was twelve, up until 19-20, then stopped playing in a rock band for 20(!) years. Only played at home and family gatherings during that time.

It's been two years since I've (re)started, having a blast with my 40 something solo guitarist, 55 years old bass player and 52 years old drummer musician friends. I'm a rhythm guitar and main singer on a rock band, again! I'm 42, btw. 

I play a Gretsch g2420 and a Epiphone Les Paul 100, both in vintage tobacco sunburst. My amp is a small valve Bantamp Bluejay with a Falcon 8' speaker, Jet series, love it. I've built a small pedal board, featuring a Electro Harmonix Crayon, a Tc Electronic Skysurfer, a Behringer Fx600, a Boss SY-200. It's simple and functional, has everything I need for now. Finally, I have my TC-helicon Voicelive Play, for the voice effects, use AKG and Shure mics. We have a small PA, a Mackie one, works great, for small venues.

I'm having a blast!

From CZ. 

Be nice.

I have had a Mexican Fender Telecaster for some years, stashed away in its case, and just recently bought one of these for a few quid at a bootsale which now sports a Tonerider PAF pickup and some new tuners.  Hope to find answers to questions!

Hello legends, we're an independent plugin maker from the Manchester.

Why would I bother with another saturation plugin you might ask?

Well, this one has auto-gain compensation, filtering, analog warmth, added manual gain trims and other control features all packed into one plugin.

Not to mention the slick UI.  It sounds awesome on guitars and it's only £5.99

Really appreciate anyone checking it out and providing feedback. 

Thank you! 

It’s been a LONG time since I bothered with a guitar forum, I used to be on ‘Guitar Voice’ years ago but upon perusing it now it looks nothing like it did.

This seems an interesting place and being an old rocker will hopefully meet like minded folk

cheers for taking the time to read

Same as everyone else I guess. Too many guitars...ambitions to trim down the collection...then go and buy another one 

I’m Simon, 51 from the Southwest of the Uk and a complete noob with guitars and have a love hate relationship with my guitars.

I started practicing in December 23 so just over a year, self taught using Justin Guitar app and have reached the end of Level 1 of the beginners course (3 levels in beginner)

I know probably 8 chords and the sticky 3,4s they use a lot for Oasis songs.

I am currently learning songs, about 4/5 I am trying to improve on but it’s slow, I enjoy everything about Guitars, their history, watching videos online about how it all started, brands, woods used and the difference in sound all the while knowing every guitar is unique whatever it’s composition.

Strumming is my issue, up strums mainly, the sound rubbish to my ear.

Ive been playing Mad World, Get Lucky by Daft Punk, Songbird by Oasis, Stand by me and although it’s a bit beyond my level , Wonderwall as it trains my little finger (ouch)

I guess I’ve been at this part of my journey for several months now with little movement although I’ve just started to learn One by U2

Ive reverted to mainly downstroke at the moment to try and simplify my learning routine.

I also do a couple of basic starter scales, platonic or something it s called lol.

Anyway I’ve been looking for fresh inspiration and perhaps some pointers, I have found pointers given to me by Facebook groups utterly complicated and just no help at all.

I used to love forums and the slower pace, so fingers crossed.

BTW I have bad GAS, perhaps I could get to the stage where I know more songs the guitars I own………Yup

I am blessed to own two electrics and erm…..many acoustics which range from a project 1940s German parlour through to a 2023 Taylor……..

look forward to being part of the community I have questions galore

Simon aka XinDi (had the online name since music sharing groups back in the early 2000s and it’s stuck )

Music was my 2nd love, but it's the one that never left me. (a good line for a blues).

Owned many various guitars, amps, pedals, multi effects units and gear over the years.

Glad to be here amoung you !!!!

Thought I'd finally join in on here from the other place, seeing as I play more guitar than bass these days. 'Enthusiastic power chord thrasher' probably best describes my approach, but I am trying to add a bit more finesse to my efforts. I love messing about with different tunings and have made my own 4-string cigar box guitar and a baritone guitar. Don't own anything expensive, just a couple of Westfields, a Harley Benton, unbranded Strats, that sort of thing. No band, just happy to muck about making my own songs. And, as my username indicates, I play right-handed guitars flipped over and upside down, like Eric Gales and Albert King. Keeps things interesting!

I play a gretch streamliner g2622t and I use a positive grid home practice amp.

My favourite band Is AC/DC and my favourite guitarist is Malcolm Young. My dream guitar is a Gretsch jet firebird.

i also play a squire precision bass occasionally but you will most likely find me playing my Gretsch
