Black Bush, the King of Whiskey. Sadly I can't drink anymore Sod this geting old?
Luck to all. !!!
Jim Busch, age 61 from Loretto, Minnesota, USA, Earth. I've been playing since about 1972, which would be 36 years. I have been a church musician for about 22 years, playing electric guitar and electric bass. I learned lead guitar after age 40, and have enjoyed guitar & bass for all 36 years! Playing guitar keeps you young, prolongs your life, and is just the greatest! If I lost my hands I would listen to music endlessly, which I already do with 2 working hands.
I play a Fender Stratocaster, Martin HD-28 acoustic, and a no-name electric bass.
I'm from Reykjavik, Iceland. 36 yrs old, been playing for about 5 years. Actually I have been singing professionally with my two buddies in a small jam band for some years, but I always felt I needed to learn the guitar so I could write songs - and maybe perform on my own some day! The trouble is finding time, though. Too much work and the kids are still young and demanding..
I'm from Liverpool,(european capital of culture). I have played guitar for over 30 years,i love guitars,i can't pass a guitar shop without going into take a look at whats new,I was born in febuary 1951 about the same time that Fender launched the Telecaster,and yes i have one and love it.I aso have a Martin 00015 which i sometimes can't put down,and i have a Maton which i strum the shit out of.God bless all you guitar pickers out there.....Love this site.

hi gang,
i'm 57 been playing [or torturing] the guitar since i was 14. i'm from llanelli in south wales uk, so russel that makes me welsh 
bought a cheapy first of all which broke after a few weeks! eventually graduated to a 1972 strat, in white [i'd just seen george harrisons bangla desh film]. i still have the strat plus a fender f90, a nondescript 12 string [but it sounds nice] a krafter semi accoustic round back guitar, and a kort electric, and a wilson bass in black which is probably mid 70's, previous owner was a heavy rocker, as the heavy cross damage is still visable.
STILL LEARNING, STILL STRUGGLING no natural talent so i have to work at it.

Now Stretch is Essex big?
Yes and No well average for England.
Sorry there's 1,310835 people living in Essex so.... you know what I'm going to say we haven't crossed paths yet.
Having a nick name of Sketch does narrow it down some what but no..
It's strange that his nick name is so close to your id..mmmmm stretch and sketch does he draw...

Nice to see the wide world represented here! Great range of geography, age, experience, and sense of humor!
I mostly strum chords, but a little of my classical training comes out, especially to accompany my daughter's violin lessons. If there's ever a good reason to start playing, that's it.
34, from great big Texas. I have been singing most of my life. Recently, a few good ole' boys and myself got together and began forming a small 'backyard group'. It is fun. So glad I stumbled on this site. It will make things soooo much easier!
Hot humid Japan!

Age 57 - originally a keyboard/piano player from age 10. Started learning folk guitar aged 20 and played local folk clubs in the 70s. Gave up and went back to keyboards and wrote and recorded electro music in the 80s.
Just retired a year ago and have rekindled my interest in acoustic guitar and folk/traditional music. I've just formed a folk band.
This is a cool exchange!! I am in Colorado Springs, Colorado USA. Actually I am turning 47 TODAY!! I know, 9-11 is not the same as it used to be. Still, it's my birthday. I got my first guitar when i was 15. It was a fairly nice cream colored Strat copy. I cut my teeth on good ol' blues and still love to play them, though my tastes are widely ranged.

Toronto Canada, playing about 10 months. Chordie has been a great help with my lessons and taken me from"doing chord exercises" to playing music. This is a fantastic website that my children now browse since they have started taking lessons as well.
