Hi,

Gotta love threads that ask your age. Finally, something we all know the answer to. :)

Age: 60 - I just scraped into the "Not quite as old as somebody else here" category... :)

How long:
Not long enough! :roll: About 3 years, mostly in disorganised bursts. Getting better, and it now takes noticeably longer for my playing to empty the room. :wink:

Cheers,

Chris

I've been playing guitar since I was a sophomore in college (2002). So that's 5 years now.

I'm very excited because I am going to be teaching a little guitar this summer for my school's summer program. I am an English teacher, but I was recently promoted to Assistant Dean, so my teaching time is dwindling. So I'm very excited to be teaching it, even though it's only going to be a class a week for 6 weeks. I guess that's a good thing when the Music Department Chair asks you to take on some guitar classes...when I've never had a class of it myself!!! Hooray for progress.

Age: Man, I really like to keep you guys guessing with this one...But okay

Age: 19
Location: Long Island, NY for vacations, Philadelphia, PA for the rest
Gear: Gibson Les Paul Classic with a BEAUTIFUL AAA flamed top, into a Vox Wah Wah Pedal, into a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe

I've been playing guitar since I joined Guitar Noise in 2003. Or rather, I joined Guitar Noise after starting guitar in 2003.

Age UGH Celebrated my 491/2 birthday

So which was it? Four-hundred-and-ninety-first or four-hundred-and-ninety-second? I suppose if you're that advanced in years, one birthday's pretty much the same as another....you do look remarkably well for it though!

Sorry Kath - couldn't resist!

:D :D :D

Hey Chris,

I think that you have more Johnsons than Ric!

:lol:Yeah, Chris has me heavily out-Johnsoned. :oops:

My Johnson gets enough TLC to make up for it, though. :P

Age UGH Celebrated my 491/2 birthday yesterday. Great party. My twin sister and I wanted to celebrate our 50th, but we wanted to have a nice BBQ bash, so we opted for a summer shindig.

Hi everyone :D

Well, I'm 37 years old.

Originally from the South Chicago 'burb of Tinley Park.
Been living in the Northwoods of Wisco since 2001.
Woodboro to be more specific.

Been playing since I was 18 (1988).
Had a few lessons sometime in the early 90's.
Mostly self taught, or what Uncle Bobby shows me. (He went to college for music. A classically trained bluesman)

I have an 88 MIA Strat that is my main electric.
And a pristine 71 strat that is my favorite.
A 91 Ovation Custom Balladeer w/cedar top that gets the most play.
And a no name hollow body from the early 60's with a single magnet only (no coil) pup in the neck that I use for slide.

I have an early 60's Harmony H303a 5 watt tube amp.
And I can play thru my JVC 2 channel cassette deck.
The amp volume acts as a master volume and the tape deck volume gives me different levels of distortion.

No pedals

And that's it.
