I first learned how to play the guitar at the age of 7. I quickly learned different styles over the years, jazz, funk, etc. I also picked up bass, lead, and keyboards.

I can't really say what are my guitars, because they're custom made. I have three of them, one a strat, a superthin acoustic guitar, and a simple, classical guitar. :)

PMark. You have quite a collections of guitars, I am rather jealous!! How much have you put into those wonders! I want the Les Paul >.> (I have a thing for the shape.)
To be honest, I've gotten the Jackson, B.C. Rich, and Les Paul as birthday gifts. The bass ended up being $250 because my friend said it needed some maintenance. But the Fernandes and Parker were pretty expensive and I did have to save up money for those.

Zephyr: Is the super thin acoustic an electric acoustic, or just an acoustic?

Oh you're super lucky, I've never gotten a good quality guitar for my birthday or anything :( Im going to invest some money soon though. Im thinking ESP or LTD Eclipse. xD Possibly one with a Floyd rose.

Hey guys, I forgot my band has a bandcamp page and we actually did finish mixing one of our originals. lol

You all should check it out! http://thefinalyear.bandcamp.com/

And please ignore the awful kick drum sound quality x_x
I totally listened to it! I think it sounds a lot like the arctic monkeys and similar bands! Fairly similar tone/style in my head anyway! Definitely a good attempt at an original! Well done!

Which one, the 401 or 1000? Those would be something to save up for, but you gotta watch out for those floyd roses especially when you change strings >.<

I get really mixed up with the electric acoustic terms, so I'll just say that it's an acoustic, with a pickup. Happy? :3

Ive only really looked at the 1000 series. Haven't had a chance to check out and play a 401 in a store yet so Im thinking 1000 (They feel fantastic to play <3)

Zeph why not just take a picture of the guitar and show us :) It sounds fairly interesting as a custom built.

What is your preferred genre to play in: Alternative

I currently own two guitars, my favorite being my acoustic. Honestly, neither of them are pro, but at least they get what I need done...you know, usually.

One is a a squier bullet and the other a 222.

The 401 is the cheaper one, so I'm sure you'll get what you pay for, but I haven't tried either of them so I wouldn't know lol
Oh I see, well I'm sure the difference isnt enough to pay extra money if I dont have to, might see about this soon cause I REALLY want one xD.

Sure. If I have enough time. They actually aren't that much. Less than a hundred dollars. The country where I live in (the philippines) locally makes guitars and custom guitars aren't that much.

With the acoustic do you fingerstyle it up? I find people who can play finger style well amazing..(Mainly because Im horrid at it :().

That being said I'd really like if someone could cover the tab for the club and upload it! I'd start the trend but I cant play it very well at all (I really am THAT bad at finger picking.)

I think we should put up a weekly exercise. Stuff that can help with things like: finger picking, finger strength, hammer/pull speed, different scales, alt. picking, sweep picking, tapping, etc. Just a thought.

BTW welcome SKY, what kind of guitar(s) do you have?

Sweet a new tab! I'll start practicing it soon. Also, welcome to SKY.

What is your favourite guitar brand and why?

I'd have to say Fender is my top brand. Both my favourite guitarists, John Frusciante and David Gilmour are known for using Fender Stratocasters.

Welcome LittleSKY!
It's great to see new members who love guitar <3 You should cover the tab of the month for us that'd be fantastic as its an acoustic song!

I was kinda thinking that's what the challenge tab was for but I can definitely do that! (Though I'm not a teacher.) I have some guitar tutorial shows and there's heaps in GUITARIST Australia mag that I can share if you guys would appreciate that.

Yes what guitars Lil, pictures pl0x.

Yay learn it and cover it please!! :) You'll continue to be the halloffamer if no one stops you xD

Oh fender! Yay that's a very respectable brand indeed, I have a Fender Frontman Amp, its pretty awesome.

You can either post a video or just audio its up to you. Yep you post it here and if we get more then one cover the club will vote on their favourite and itll go in the hall of fame.

So far I've just been picking them myself but maybe the winner can choose the new tab of the month or something like that? But I think they should stay on theme songs atm as its fun and I already have one planned for next month. What do you guys think? Winners get to choose the next tab?
