So who's the best guitarist who frequents NSC?

[Kosh]

I vote for me.

My Marshall stack goes up to 11, and my solos are my trademark. What more evidence do you need?

Kosh

 

[smillie's garden]

Case closed, apparently.

 

[Nitram]

Bold assertion, but what are your Stonehenge and dancing dwarfs like?

 

[Dick Head]

I vote for me.

I know four chords so that means I'm even better than Status Quo.

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

Me.

Name any power chord on earth and I bet I could play it. I even almost once nearly played the riff to Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love by Van Halen without making ANY mistakes.

I believe this competition is over.

 

[Dave the OAP]

I can play D, G, C Emajor and Eminor and an A chord

Unfortunately, I find it tricky to move my fingers in time from chord to chord but I have a brilliant beginners set of websites and JUSTINGUITAR books.

I can play a few Eagles songs very badly, and I can play the opening chords to hotel California brilliantly.

The only real song I happily play is Holding Back The Years by simply red....only three chords easy peesy!

BTW. I am shite a barre chords as I have fat fingers

Very seriously,l I assumed status quo songs were really easy to play and they really are NOT. Rick Parfitt's you tube videos on playing some of their biggest songs just show how fecking difficult they are.

My ambition is to play like chuck berry

 

[WATFORD zero]

No excuses, Dave. These two fat fingered guys in shoreham seemed to manage

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

I completed Guitar Hero on Hard and 95% completed on Expert.

Deal with THAT you MOTHERS.

 

[tinycowboy]

I'm really something on the guitar - I can play the middle bit from You Made Me Realise by My Bloody Valentine, acoustic or electric, and also Destroy The Heart by House of Love. I once busked in France and played a selection of songs, including Sight of You by The Pale Saints, Today by Smashing Pumpkins (money-spinner) and Stickleback by The Edsel Auctioneer. As a result, I was befriended by a homeless man who told my playing lacked suppleness.

Very similar. I know quite a few chords but I find changing between them really tricky, it always takes me a second or so to locate all the strings and the frets and then move my fingers into the new position - and then the chances are you'll have to change again a few moments later. And I can never hold down bar chords properly. The piano is so much easier to play.

 

[Kosh]

It's that really all you can MUSTER NSC?!? I used to own one of those guitars, you know like one of those double guitars - that's how much I rate myself. Seriously, Don Felder has nothing on my when it comes to the 70s God of yore look, as as for what I can play, well it's more a case of what can't I play! Right I'm off to play Burn by Deep Purple, all of it. Yep that's where I'm coming from l a d i e s, balls to the floor riffing and neo-classical soloing a go go. Put that in yer 'twee' three chord pipes and smoke it you MOTHER'S!

[KZNSeagull]

Del Strangefish, obviously.

 

[seagully]

What axes do people own?

I've had a Mexican sunburst Tele for years, cracking guitar. Recently bought one of the new Gibson LPJs- basically an entry level Les Paul. Have to say I'm very impressed with it, especially for the price.

 

[aolstudios]

I'm a bluffer, frankly but seem to have got away with it, so don't tell anyone. Somehow accumulated 14 guitars over the years

 

[GT49er]

THIS THREAD lS WORTHLESS WITHOUT VIDEOS!

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

This is my weapon of choice. An RKS Dark Star.

 

[£1.99]

Just look at my avatar, should tell you all you need to know!

Same here. My Dad and two brothers are all excellent natural guitarists/musicians but I must be the milkman's as I find it much harder to learn and pick things up.

What excellent taste, you can come and busk in Mill Square Storrington this weekend if you like, you would go down a storm with the Waitrose Crowd.




EDIT: Just noted where you live, it might not such a money spinner after all.
