Hello, I'm a guitar player, and I'm looking for people who play too. Tell me about your favorite songs, your favorite bands, your favorite music to play... Tell me about the band you play with, and why you love playing... I'll be glad to hear from you :)

You're so lucky... No one in my family plays guitar, or any other instrument, but it happened to know some guys who played in a group, and I decided - I'll play too :) Won't you tell me some of your favorite bands? (By the way, I've never really study English in school, so you may not understand everything I say. Sorry about that)

Hey, i'm no expert. I'm what you can call a jack of all trades master of none (when it comes to guitar playing). Anyway, i learned classical from my dad, who is a terrific guitar player. :-0

i love to play guitar but i think, guitar doesnt love me. =( Im a frustrated "guitar-learner". I always love to learn even before I was in high school. I only know the basic but its difficult for me to play the tunes. I cant make the guitar sing. lol.. i always envy those people who can play guitar and let someone sing with them.

I'll have to say - some people already play guitar, and they are good:) Take advantage of their skills - take one of their video lessons. For example, I have a very useful video lesson by John Petrucci - the guitarist from "Dream Theater". In this video, he starts from the stretches and the massages and ends up to some very difficult exercises. I could share this video if someone is interested:)

Advice: practice, practice, practice... I know its easier said than done. So if you're really frustrated, just stop and take a deep breath. Then play again. hehe.

Hi! I have not played my guitar for a long time now. I wouldn't say Im good, but i know how to play some songs, which I can also sing along with when playing. I like to play alternative songs, especially acoustic/pop-rock songs.

You are lucky you can sing... I can't sing, well I can but it's hard, my voice doesn't listen to me... :)

Hi. I wanted very much to buy a guitar. I was inspired by cover videos from youtube that i watched. Fitstly i thought its east as i watched those videos but .... . When i bought a guitar i was amazed how hard it is to play. It need a lot of training to become a good guitarist.

Yeah, you have to experience the pain :) In the beginning that was one of my biggest problems - it hurts to play, because of the strings, especially the thin ones. And also my hands were problem too - they appeared to be too small. But then I saw that I can ignore the pain in my fingers and I can stretch my hands. Of course you'll need some practice, but if that will help you, I learned to play in less than one year, and now I only improve my playing :) Keep trying, and it will happen!

Hey that's great! And you're a fan of Iron Maiden... They are one of my favorite bands! You play since you were 14, but how old are you now?
