Re: hey,what instrument do u play...and how long have u played it

I have several guitars, well 4 acoustic, one electric bass( 20 years) african tom drums( 4 years), 3 jews harps ( 15 years), a mouth organ hmm still trying to play it), 2 electric violins ( my wife plays them), one acoutic violin( she plays this also) , tin whistle in D or A ( 6 months), and a bodhran ( 1 year and still learning)

played acoustic guitar for about 15 years.

I find I play my stagg twelve string guitar most just now, just for the lovely jingly jangly sound you get from a 12 stringer.

and other times  iwalk about the house with my wee Ozrak baby guitar. I normally take this away with me when I go walking up the hills for a few days but also very handy to walk about the house with.

My latest guitar is a solid top Lorenzo acoustic, not bad sound, not the greatest wither but it does me fine.


I have always wanted a triangle for some reason. hmmm, might be next on my list.

I've only been playing for a couple of months.

Re: hey,what instrument do u play...and how long have u played it

I like to sing (mostly songs that tell stories) and play guitar to accompany myself.  Usually play solo & there by avoid the head trips that sometimes happen because of conflicting egos.   

Used to play bass and sing lead in a band, but got tired of drunks knocking over my equipment in bars. Don't have a bass at the moment, not a very good solo insturment. 

I mostly play a Fender F65 flat top six string these days.  Have an old Vox wildcat.  Have a violin, but haven't taken the time to learn it.  Have several harmonicas, haven't played them much since I was a kid. 

I hope to get a seven string arch top in the near future, but can't fit it into the budget yet.  Been playing guitar since about the same time the Beatles hit the U.S.


Incidently, if anyone is looking for a pretty good imitation ES335 an Oscar Schmit OE30 will give you a lot of bang for your buck.  A friend of mine has one and it's an  amazingly good guitar for the money.  Musitions Friend has them right now for $149.95. (no I don't work for them, It's just a good deal)

Re: hey,what instrument do u play...and how long have u played it

I've played blues harp for over twenty years. Started acoustic guitar about 19 months ago. Loving every bit of it.

....Badeye.

one caper after another

Re: hey,what instrument do u play...and how long have u played it

excuse my ignorance badeye but is a blues harp different from a harp harp?

When I was out at a folk gathering on Wednesday night a young girl was playing a harp and singing, itsounded great and she had a really really great voice. Was the best version of "green fileds of france" i have ever heard.

Re: hey,what instrument do u play...and how long have u played it

Bought my first accoustic when I was 14, put it in a cupboard for ten years, then started learning at 24! 37 now tho'. Played blues harp for a fair old time an all. Does anyone else have a twelve string they just dont play?

Re: hey,what instrument do u play...and how long have u played it

Ken, a blues harp is a harmonica (but I'm sure you knew that) smile

And marsdad, yes I have a twelve string that I got fed up of and gave to my son.
But I wouldn't mind getting one of those 60's Rickenbacker models.

cheers
