Guitarist magazine has 10 questions they ask a guitar player every month, and I wondered what the folks on here would answer? The questions are:
1 ) What was your first guitar, and when did you get it?
2 ) What's your first guitar playing memory?
3 ) The building's burning, which guitar do you save?
4 ) When and what was the last thing you practiced?
5 ) What's the worst thing that's happened to you onstage?
6 ) If you could have any vintage guitar to own, and not sell on, what would it be?
7 ) What's the most expensive guitar you've ever bought?
8 ) What's the oldest guitar in your collection?
9 ) Is there a particular record in your collection that you wouldn't want people to know about?
10 ) Is there a song that changed your life, and in what way?
I'll start off, and if you copy and paste the way I present it we won't forget what the questions are when we read the responses ;)
1 - First:
I started playing classical guitar at the age of eight, so my first guitar would have been a nylon strung 3/4 model of some type. I don't remember it. My first electric guitar was a 1983 JV '62 reissue Squier Strat in Fiesta Red which I saved up my paper round money for. I still own it.
2 - Memory:
I can remember sitting in a classroom at lunchtime with a bunch of other kids as some sort of group guitar lesson. Soon after that I had one-to-one lessons with a teacher after school if I remember rightly.
3 - Burning:
It would have to be my Custom Shop '58 Heavy Relic Tele, "Ruby Tuesday". Aside from being an amazing guitar, it has a huge amount of sentimental value to me.
4 - Practice:
Just tonight, and I was playing Sweet Child O' Mine. I've given up learning the all the solo parts note for note, so for the end of song wig-outs I'm going to improvise it when we gig it!
5 -Onstage:
I fluffed the intro riff to Wanted Dead Or Alive. Twice. In the same gig. Back to back. It was a bad night. I've also done 'DC solos in the wrong key in the very early days as well, mainly because I couldn't hear myself properly :(
6 - Vintage:
I'd want to own Malcolm Young's Jet Firebird. Just for the historical significance of it!
7 - Expensive:
My PRS Modern Eagle. I can't see myself paying anything like that much for a guitar again.
8 - Oldest:
My 1983 JV Squier Strat mentioned in question 1.
9 - Record:
I've got loads of stuff that's embarassing, but I'll go with two Bros albums on cassette :oops:
10 - Life:
Nothing really stands out, but I can remember learning Mr Cab Driver by Lenny Kravitz by ear to become the first song I played on my Squier Strat as a teenager. I guess that kick started me into learning to play the electric guitar!
-
1. 1st guitar like with so many people was a black squier strat in about 94 (14yo)
2. I remember my uncles 60's eko acoustic behind the sofa from when i was a very small child. used to just pluck a string then run off. Its a surprisingly nice example and i rebuilt the fretboard and refretted it a few years ago to get the playability back to where it should be
3. whichever is completed and next to be picked up by a customer - wouldnt want to cause a delay and they are usually the ones my mind is most focused one. (it would have been la cabronita before saturday)
4. honestly cant remember - i should sort that out
5. N/A, so i will do the closest equivilent. i did a floyd conversion on a flying cheap V for a mate, got it out to show him how good the floyd was. slipped. grabbed the trem arm and managed to break 3 strings at once. doh
6. difficult one. would have to be a 58 natural 335 , original d'angelico archtop or a zemaitis dragon
7. an epiphone LP which i still have, although i have spent much more than that on guitar builds!! never have brought an expensive guitar really
8. my 50's framus archtop.
9. no. The first album i owned was the joseph soundtrack. i was only 8, it was a gift. i am nopt embarrased
10. hard to say really. surely they have had an influence but i cant remember any one that created a turning point or created a major change

1 ) What was your first guitar, and when did you get it?
Stagg V. Because I hate beginner strats
2 ) What's your first guitar playing memory?
Mates trying to teach me Smells like teen spirit...
3 ) The building's burning, which guitar do you save?
Gibson LP XR1
4 ) When and what was the last thing you practiced?
I decided it may be a good idea to actually learn Sweet Child last night :?
5 ) What's the worst thing that's happened to you onstage?
Realise that you don't want to be there, not enjoying the band
6 ) If you could have any vintage guitar to own, and not sell on, what would it be?
'59 LP standard, I guess. I really enjoy Les Pauls, but then the Feline mods almost put me off the original.
Maybe a Firebird III with the Johnny Winter tailpiece mod
or does a '76 Explorer count as vintage?
7 ) What's the most expensive guitar you've ever bought?
It isn't finished yet
8 ) What's the oldest guitar in your collection?
Gibson XR1 that is a little bit cut up
9 ) Is there a particular record in your collection that you wouldn't want people to know about?
The Corrs Greatest Hits. I really like them...
10 ) Is there a song that changed your life, and in what way?
Stayin' Alive. Okay, seriously, I see myself more as a free thinker, take things into account etc rather than life changing event and quick change. So, things that changed my guitar life
1. Ozzy - Miracle Man. Love it, still do. Pentatonics can sounds great
2. Ozzy - Bark at the moon. More to guitar than pentatonics.
3. Def Leppard - Animal. The subtle layers which don't seem to be in the same key, or which seem to focus on different notes creating contrast.
-
1 ) What was your first guitar, and when did you get it?
11th birthday, in 1999, budget 3/4 size classical guitar.
2 ) What's your first guitar playing memory?
Plucking strings after I got said guitar. I did have two ukulele's as a child which I can also remember, does that count?
3 ) The building's burning, which guitar do you save?
My Les Paul.
4 ) When and what was the last thing you practiced?
I practice scales and boring stuff every day almost.
5 ) What's the worst thing that's happened to you onstage?
Having no sound in front of approx. 1000 people. Took a few minutes to determine one of the cables were dead, during which I changed the batteries in my pedals, checked every cable, had to convince the sound guy I needed to use that wah pedal and other things. Then the same thing happens the second night, only this time it kind of sorted itself out but imagine the terror of everyone in the band plus the incompetent sound tech.
6 ) If you could have any vintage guitar to own, and not sell on, what would it be?
Vox AC30
7 ) What's the most expensive guitar you've ever bought?
My Les Paul
8 ) What's the oldest guitar in your collection?
I don't know how old my 12-string is but probably about 20 years.
9 ) Is there a particular record in your collection that you wouldn't want people to know about?
Yes. Many.
10 ) Is there a song that changed your life, and in what way?
"changed my life" is a bit drastic but Bad Craziness by D-A-D was the first rock song I liked. I was 3.
-
1 ) What was your first guitar, and when did you get it?
My 1st guitar was a single humbucker Encore 'Strat' from Argos when I was about 9 or 10. I only used it a few times and put it aside till I was 14. I sold it with the original strings on to buy a hardcase for the Tobacco Sunburst Rikter LP I'd just had for Christmas :D
2 ) What's your first guitar playing memory?
Trying the Rikter LP mentioned above in the shop and it having a playable action so not having to shred my fingers on the 2" action the Encore had!
3 ) The building's burning, which guitar do you save?
This would be a 3 way tie between my 98 LP Standard (my dream guitar from when I 1st started playing guitar), my 93/94 Jap Squier Strat I got with money after my Grandma died or my custom ordered Gordon Smith Graduate 60 I got after my Grandad died.
4 ) When and what was the last thing you practiced?
It's been a while since I've 'practiced' to improve (something I really need to do more of) so the last thing would probably have been learning some cover songs.
5 ) What's the worst thing that's happened to you onstage?
Would probably be when I was playing a fairly big charity gig at Donnington Park a few years ago for a Maddie McCann charity and my 74' Carlsbro amp head went screwy and kept cutting out. I've been pretty lucky for the most part.
6 ) If you could have any vintage guitar to own, and not sell on, what would it be?
Easy answer; 'no burst' 58 LP :D
7 ) What's the most expensive guitar you've ever bought?
My 98 Gibby LP Standard for just over 800 quid
8 ) What's the oldest guitar in your collection?
I have a japanese strat copy that s'pposed to be 70s (according to the guy who had it before me), but apart from that'd it'd be my E serial Jap Strat which I believe dates it to between 84 - 87?
9 ) Is there a particular record in your collection that you wouldn't want people to know about?
I have alot of stuff that various people would find embarrassing so that depends on the person.
10 ) Is there a song that changed your life, and in what way?
There's been alot, but none that come to mind atm strangely enough :lol:
-
1 ) What was your first guitar, and when did you get it?
My first guitar was a black Blue Ridge Strat copy. I saved up money from my paper round to buy it. Can't remember how long ago it was but I still have it in the house.
2 ) What's your first guitar playing memory?
I remember sitting in my bedroom with a 3/4 size acoustic guitar listening to 'The X Factor' album by Iron Maiden and trying to work out the intro to 'Sign Of The Cross'
3 ) The building's burning, which guitar do you save?
Probaby my 1982 Fender Fullerton Strat as it's my main gigging guitar. Either that or my Rory strat as I've started to grow very fond of it recently.
4 ) When and what was the last thing you practiced?
At band practice tonight the last song we practiced was Rory Gallagher - Shadow Play, so I guess that was the last thing I practiced.
5 ) What's the worst thing that's happened to you onstage?
At a small pub gig in Inverness about a year ago some guy kicked the mic stand which whacked me in the mouth, my lip was bleeding quite a bit, however I still kept playing and singing!
6 ) If you could have any vintage guitar to own, and not sell on, what would it be?
Ah tough question! Probably a 1954 Fender Stratocaster, seen a few in Vintage guitar stores but all have been about £25,000 - £30,000. I can still dream though, can't I?
7 ) What's the most expensive guitar you've ever bought?
Fender Custom Shop Rory Gallagher Strat. I will most likely never pay anything like that for a guitar again though!
8 ) What's the oldest guitar in your collection?
1978 Gibson The Paul. Great guitar with great sounding T Top vintage humbuckers!
9 ) Is there a particular record in your collection that you wouldn't want people to know about?
I still have albums that I got for Christmas when I was a kid. Like Now 41 and other 'pop' compilations. Other than that I don't think I'm ashamed to admit owning any album in my collection.
10 ) Is there a song that changed your life, and in what way?
Not really changed my life but it was after my dad let me hear Bullfrog Blues by Rory Gallagher that I knew I wanted to play guitar. I remember hearing the song and 'air-guitaring' during the solo, it's just one of these kind of songs!
-
1 ) What was your first guitar, and when did you get it?
Condor RX30 - a korean strat/ibanez alike HSS, bought in 2000
2 ) What's your first guitar playing memory?
My first class, learning the funeral march to play in a "radio thing" homework at school

Hummm here I got the guitar I've built and the Nonsense Tele, would be hard to choose
4 ) When and what was the last thing you practiced?
Not sure, long while ago
5 ) What's the worst thing that's happened to you onstage?
Never played alive, was only a roadie for an year... Think was on one concert where I couldn't just make the things sounds good, the guitars didn't cut, the bass was weird, the drums loud and the voice didn't appeard...
6 ) If you could have any vintage guitar to own, and not sell on, what would it be?
Probably a '59 Les Paul standard
7 ) What's the most expensive guitar you've ever bought?
The Nonsense Tele - Warmoth Alder body with spalted maple and wenge neck with macassar ebony fingerboard, BKP Piledriver pickups, Glendale bridge....
8 ) What's the oldest guitar in your collection?
The one I've built - ended it in 2003 if I'm not wrong
9 ) Is there a particular record in your collection that you wouldn't want people to know about?
Record I'm not sure, just some mp3 I downloaded to see what was the bands about
10 ) Is there a song that changed your life, and in what way?
First is Pantera - War Nerve, this made me really "get" into music, also GnR - sweet child o' mine and BB King & Eric Clapton - Riding with the king - the one that made me discover that not only heavy metal was cool (I was 15 and so stupid :lol:)
(added some information and changed the layout, but kept what I've said before)
-
1 ) What was your first guitar, and when did you get it?
Rubbish Arbiter Les Paul copy with a bolt-on neck and weird "humbuckers" which were really single-coils. Got it for Christmas in 1980.
2 ) What's your first guitar playing memory?
Trying to play "Smoke On The Water" on my sister's classical guitar (the top was so warped that several strings didn't even touch the saddle).
3 ) The building's burning, which guitar do you save?
Hmmm, probably still my green SG-X.
4 ) When and what was the last thing you practiced?
Can't remember! Haven't picked up a guitar in the last couple of weeks.
5 ) What's the worst thing that's happened to you onstage?
Not applicable.... unless you count a very reluctant appearance in a school play in 1973....
6 ) If you could have any vintage guitar to own, and not sell on, what would it be?
Either: Late-'50s singlecut Les Paul Junior
Or: 1958 Flying V

PRS McCarty Korina.
8 ) What's the oldest guitar in your collection?
1965 Gibson Melody Maker.
9 ) Is there a particular record in your collection that you wouldn't want people to know about?
I have Stick It To Ya by Slaughter and All Systems Go by the Vinnie Vincent Invasion, so I should be ashamed... but I'm not.
10 ) Is there a song that changed your life, and in what way?
"Cum On Feel the Noize" by Slade, because it's the first pop song I remember liking.
"Sultans Of Swing" by Dire Straits, because it was the first time I realised "that sound" was a Guitar.
"Lost Horizons" by MSG, because it made me want to play guitar.
"Boogie Nights" by Heatwave, because it's the best song ever. :D
-
Great thread idea Dave, but I'm sure the regulars here will know each others answers, but maybe not!
1 ) What was your first guitar, and when did you get it?
First electric was an Epiphone '58 copy. Had a classical before that. Got them both in 2001 I think.
2 ) What's your first guitar playing memory?
Drunkenly playing bass extremely loudly in my mate's student room
3 ) The building's burning, which guitar do you save?
The '84 Johnny Winter V
4 ) When and what was the last thing you practiced?
Yesterday evening 'Angel In The Night' by Basshunter (true!)
5 ) What's the worst thing that's happened to you onstage?
So much has happened - I remember once the batteries in my minidisc ran out mid set. Snapped a string on the white Steinberger which was a bitch to replace mid set. I also totally misjudged the setlist and alienated the crowd (this only happened once though early on, not the sort of mistake you make twice)
6 ) If you could have any vintage guitar to own, and not sell on, what would it be?
A '58, '67 or Medallion Flying V - I'm not fussy which of those 3 ;)
7 ) What's the most expensive guitar you've ever bought?
Gibson Flying V90
8 ) What's the oldest guitar in your collection?
Oldest complete guitar is a Greco '81 Flying V.
9 ) Is there a particular record in your collection that you wouldn't want people to know about?
No, I'm happy for people to know the cheesiest songs in my collection :)
10 ) Is there a song that changed your life, and in what way?
So many... But the first was 'Out Of Space', by The Prodigy. It changed me because suddenly I heard underground music I liked, and could identify myself with a scene. Guitar-wise Motorhead 'Ace Of Spades' opened my idea to hard rock. 'Paranoid' pushed me over the edge to wanting to play.
-
1 ) What was your first guitar, and when did you get it?
first guitar i played was my dad's classical guitar. first guitar i technically bought was a Axe guitar from my friend for like $30 about 6 years ago. the first i bought from a store was some type of yamaha superstrat for $120.
2 ) What's your first guitar playing memory?
my brother teaching me brain stew on my dad's classical. neither of us knew how to actually play, but it was fun.
3 ) The building's burning, which guitar do you save?
my '79 Dean Z signed by Dime. it's irreplaceable.
4 ) When and what was the last thing you practiced?
yesterday. currently working on Rhoads' spotlight solo from the tribute album.
5 ) What's the worst thing that's happened to you onstage?
i've played on stage once in my life. it was for a school project in 8th grade, me and a friend on drums. i had only been playing guitar for a few months at that point, and i was terrible. i didn't know how to keep rhythm. it was only for my class of like 20 something, but it was quite embarrassing.
6 ) If you could have any vintage guitar to own, and not sell on, what would it be?
hmm... tough one. i'm not really gassing for any vintage gear right now. i've got a few vintage guitars already. maybe a charvel star (are they even vintage?) or an old gibson firebird.
7 ) What's the most expensive guitar you've ever bought?
My Dimeslime was the most expensive one i bought for $899. once i'm finished with my '79 Z though that'll have more money put into it.
8 ) What's the oldest guitar in your collection?
My '79 Dean Z. My 82 Gibson xr-1 (just like will's) is a close second.
9 ) Is there a particular record in your collection that you wouldn't want people to know about?
i've got a ja rule cd in my cd case. i used to listen to a bunch of rap, but for some reason the ja rule one is the only one in my case.
10 ) Is there a song that changed your life, and in what way?
cemetery gates. its the only specific song that i can think of that got me into heavy metal. ozzy before that got me into the metal scene in general. bullet with butterfly wings got me into rock when i was listening to rap. blackwater park by opeth got me into new genres of music and ultimately got me to discover the greatest band ever.

Columbus Les Paul Custom Copy - would have been about 1976

Trying to learn Samba Pa Ti in the front room

Yesterday - Wanted (Dead or Alive) on my 12 string

Played the whole of the acoustic part of Boulevard of Broken Dreams with the volume pedal off - and could not hear a thing because of my in ear monitors...

-
Great thread idea Dave, but I'm sure the regulars here will know each others answers, but maybe not!
That's the thing gwEm, I didn't know what you guys would answer! It all makes good reading though, keep it coming folks :)
-
1 ) What was your first guitar, and when did you get it?
A Cheap, cr@ppy, unbranded strat copy from the Littlewoods catalogue shop. It was awful and came with a terrible battery powered amp but I stuck with it because I'd saved for nearly a year to afford the £70.00 (I have never been wealthy in the slightest, plus I was about 12/13)
2 ) What's your first guitar playing memory?
Taking said strat copy and strumming it tunelessly. I actually started just playing melodies and riffs as I didn't know any chords. It took me almost a year before I learnt any chords.
3 ) The building's burning, which guitar do you save?
Maverick F1 as it is the only one that's worth anything and it's also been with me for a while as my main guitar and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
4 ) When and what was the last thing you practiced?
I'm mainly writing material for a new band at the moment, though I have been working on some Beatles material recently. I'm finding the chords changes and harmony incredibly difficult despite the fact I could easily play Hell's Kitchen by Dream Theater.
5 ) What's the worst thing that's happened to you onstage?
Playing Hell's Kitchen live and falling one beat behind on the final harmony part.
6 ) If you could have any vintage guitar to own, and not sell on, what would it be?
An original BC Rich Mockingbird in transparent red purely because of the Slash connection.
7 ) What's the most expensive guitar you've ever bought?
My Maverick which I got second hand for about £500.
8 ) What's the oldest guitar in your collection?
A Columbus telecaster copy from the 70s which is currently in bits pending restoration.
9 ) Is there a particular record in your collection that you wouldn't want people to know about?
The first two records I bought were Good Charlotte and Linkin Park. Needless to say I was young and naive.
10 ) Is there a song that changed your life, and in what way?
The Appetite for Destruction album was what made me want to play the guitar in thirst place.
Steve Vai's Bad Horsey showed me what could be done beyond the normal constraints of guitar music.
Frank Zappa's material for making me re-think everything I knew about music.
There is probably more but I won't go into boring details.
-
1) What was your first guitar, and when did you get it?
An old accoustic - my Dad had it spare and bunged it at me when I wanted to buy a record but didn't get pocket money. He said "learn to play instead" - he's probably regretted it ever since!
I think I was 13 or 14.
Edit: Just remembered, I can still see it, I did have one of those plastic Beatles guitars. Orange with a white front with their faces on. I guess I'd have had that as a christmas pressie when I was two or three. Apparently I called it my "doo-doo", but I have no recollection of this :lol:
2) What's your first guitar playing memory?
Learning to play and sing "King of the Road" over the next day or so.
3) The building's burning, which guitar do you save?
Probably my Fiesta Red strat (but I expect I could carry a lot more than that :lol:)
4) When and what was the last thing you practiced?
Last night, the guitar part and lead vocal for a new song I'm working on.
5) What's the worst thing that's happened to you onstage?
This was really hard to come up with, I've got loads of "string-breakage", "tuning problems", "missing out half a song", "falling over", etc memories - but I never regarded these as particularly bad or embarrassing. Some old guy (I'm probably older than him now :roll:) taught me that if the band, especially the front-man, isn't embarrassed by the f@ck-up and laughs it off, then the audience feels more comfortable.
So we ended up with a toss up between "loss of voice" (which started out bad, but the audience picked up on it and sang the entire two hour set for me!! So that's kind of a fond memory :D), and THIS... (I'd forgotten it, but I find it still irks me :lol:)
Bass-player not shutting the f@ck up when I was trying to speak to the audience (eg he'd complain about the next song I'd just announced, or he'd go "tell em about the demo-tape" between every song, even though I'd already announced it, or "tell em about the next gig", etc...) - I had to put up with this for 50-odd gigs from this guy. Away from the stage he'd agree not to do it, then he'd still bluddy witter on, interrupting me...
Eventually, one day, I stopped what I was doing and told him (on mic) to "f-ing shut-up, I'm talking to the people, if you wanna tell them something, you've got your own mic, use it..." - I think that kinda embarrassed him, and he seemed to restrain hisself afterwards.
6) If you could have any vintage guitar to own, and not sell on, what would it be?
Rory Gallagher's 61 strat.
7) What's the most expensive guitar you've ever bought?
Gibson Explorer.
8 ) What's the oldest guitar in your collection?
Squier JV 62 Stratocaster, bought in 82/3
9) Is there a particular record in your collection that you wouldn't want people to know about?
Nope
10) Is there a song that changed your life, and in what way?
I could choose all sorts, but I think it has to be "Billy don't be a hero" because it started me songwriting, but I didn't realise that's what I was doing at the time.
It was a few years after that I got the first guitar, and then 6 months before I wrote my "first" song. But my earliest memory of "singing and making it up as I go along" was one morning based on "Billy" while my Arfix soldiers were re-enacting the Normandy landings... Apparently I sang non-stop, and made sense, for over an hour or so, and by the end I had a different, but recognisable, tune (my own memory is that I hung on to the chorus, and that I couldn't possibly have made sense for over an hour!!).
-
1 ) What was your first guitar, and when did you get it?
It was a cheap 1/2 size classical given to me by my aunty when I was around 7 or 8 I think. I still have it somewhere. The first electric was an Eros MKII - a bolt on slab bodied Les Paul copy - purchased with a Gorilla amp (think angry wasp in a tin can) from Cerdd Ystwyth music in Aberystwyth when I was 16. Both guitar and amp are missing in action after being lent to a friend. I loved that guitar, the ####!!...
2 ) What's your first guitar playing memory?
Strumming the 1/2 size classical mentioned above and not having a clue how to tune it. Some people may argue I still have not learned how to tune them properly!
3 ) The building's burning, which guitar do you save?
The white US Strat I've had since the late 80s I think.
4 ) When and what was the last thing you practiced?
The Cult's Fire Woman
5 ) What's the worst thing that's happened to you onstage?
The singer ate an uncooked trout he'd gotten from a freezer somewhere, guts and all. I believe he did it just before a harmonica solo. I can't remember if he barfed through the harmonica or not as I was too busy laughing.
6 ) If you could have any vintage guitar to own, and not sell on, what would it be?
An early 60s' Sea Foam Green Strat.
7 ) What's the most expensive guitar you've ever bought?
A Fender CS Nocaster.
8 ) What's the oldest guitar in your collection?
It's either the Tele shaped ESP The Eclipse or a Charvel Model 5a from the 80s', serial data on each is rather vague but it will be one of them bar the 1/2 size acoustic I have somewhere.
9 ) Is there a particular record in your collection that you wouldn't want people to know about?
I'm not bothered by any of the shitee in my collection, even the Pinky and Perky LPs from my childhood.
10 ) Is there a song that changed your life, and in what way?
Anything off the Iron Maiden's Live after Death - 'Scream for me Long Beach!'
-
1 ) What was your first guitar, and when did you get it?
Yamaha SG400. It was my mom's but I made it my own. Somewhere early nineties.

When that guitar called to me (see above).
3 ) The building's burning, which guitar do you save?
If i can only save one, it'll be my gretsch Power Jet.
4 ) When and what was the last thing you practiced?
Like a Rocket by Reverend Horton Heat, last friday.
5 ) What's the worst thing that's happened to you onstage?
Sunday morning, sleepy, half drunk, half hung over, did two gigs the day before, tired, trying to play Mystery Train during the soundcheck in front of 100 people.
6 ) If you could have any vintage guitar to own, and not sell on, what would it be?
'58 to '60 Gretsch 6120
7 ) What's the most expensive guitar you've ever bought?

-
1 ) What was your first guitar, and when did you get it?
Nylon String acoustic in 1983. I had a few lessons and dropped it until 1986, when I got a metallic red Tokai Goldstar Strat (have it still and it is black now with white Apaches).
2 ) What's your first guitar playing memory?
Trying to play Greensleaves on the acoustic.
3 ) The building's burning, which guitar do you save?
The PRS McCarty RW neck with RY pickups, because it's such a good allrounder.
4 ) When and what was the last thing you practiced?
Yesterday, I learned "Burn" by Deep Purple and practised alternate picking.
5 ) What's the worst thing that's happened to you onstage?
My Hamer sunburst fell off the stand and broke the head stock (luckily behind the nut).

Boney M. , greatest Hits.

Seeing Knopfler on the TV play "Brothers In Arms" at Live Aid, which made me pick up the guitar for the second time (and I got a red strat, because of him).
-
1 ) What was your first guitar, and when did you get it?
First guitar I owned was an acoustic my parents got me in year 8 which was back in 2001. The first guitar I bought myself was an Epiphone LP Standard in honeyburst that I got in 2004.
2 ) What's your first guitar playing memory?
Plucking a string in music class.
3 ) The building's burning, which guitar do you save?
I don't have a guitar that I'm particularly attached to to be honest. I haven't found "the one" yet. Gibson LP studio has the most sentimental value to me but doesn't play as nice as my PRS. I guess I'd save my dad's strat.
4 ) When and what was the last thing you practiced?
Rodrigo y Gabriella - "Tamacun" and "Ixtapa". Been practicing for a few days now I can nearly play them now except the violin solo bit.
5 ) What's the worst thing that's happened to you onstage?
Broken strings, amp suddenly not working after perfect soundcheck etc but the worst experience was when we turned up at a venue which was supposed to have a full PA system, which turned out they didn't, and our singer didn't bring her own, so after setting up all amps and drums we had to pack up and go home in front of bemused punters.
6 ) If you could have any vintage guitar to own, and not sell on, what would it be?
'59 Les Paul
7 ) What's the most expensive guitar you've ever bought?
got in a trade but my PRS CU24 is the most expensive guitar I've owned.

Yamaha SG1000 from early 80's but it's being sold now. I want a guitar made in 1987 which is the year I was born!
9 ) Is there a particular record in your collection that you wouldn't want people to know about?
I have too many uncool stuff in my collection... I still have Avril Lavigne(sp?)'s first album somewhere I used to have a huge crush on her!
10 ) Is there a song that changed your life, and in what way?
Beatles greatest hits got me into music so I guess that album. Greenday made me want to form band in college and play in front of people. Appetite for Destruction and Back in Black turned me to hard/classic rock and screaming guitar solos and formed the core of my taste in music for the last few years.
-
1 ) What was your first guitar, and when did you get it?

Learning Let there be Rock

My surf green Am Standard strat

What was your first guitar, and when did you get it?
My first electric was a cheap strat copy in 1984/5
What's your first guitar playing memory?
I borrowed a horrible acoustic (the nut wasn't cut correctly or it was set for slide, strings were an inch off the fretboard) and in 2 weeks I could play all the common major, seventh and minor cords in a sing-along book that was in the case.
The building's burning, which guitar do you save?
My MIJ 1988 Fender Telecaster, it was my main gigging guitar for 12 years. It's not worth much but has huge sentimental value.
When and what was the last thing you practiced?
'Message in a Bottle' about 2 days ago.
What's the worst thing that's happened to you onstage?
Played the large stage at St Andrews Uni (cool place, all the 'greats' have played there, Zep, Floyd, Hendrix, etc.) and got shocks from the mics. I didn't get it too bad but the singer got 2 massive jolts that made him dance around like a rag doll. Another one was, played a gig where a local well-known gangster was present. Before we were due to go on, the guy approaches the band and tells us if we stink, he'll kill us. Luck for us, he loved us.
If you could have any vintage guitar to own, and not sell on, what would it be?
'59 Esquire (toploader)
What's the most expensive guitar you've ever bought?
'07 Gibson Les Paul Standard (I've got PGblues on it)
What's the oldest guitar in your collection?
'88 Tele from question 3
Is there a particular record in your collection that you wouldn't want people to know about?
I've got approx. 1,000 CDs, they span just about ever genre of music. I'm sure there's lots of stuff folks on this forum would consider embarrassing but I don't. In particular I've got lots of 'pop music'.
Is there a song that changed your life, and in what way?
'God save the Queen' by The Sex Pistols, I can remember when it was release in '77; it's my earliest musical memory. I can still see my big brother pogoing round the bedroom to it. That whole 'Punk' thing seemed so exciting at the time; I still have an affection for early Punk.
-
Good thread :)
1 ) What was your first guitar, and when did you get it?
Argos 3/4 size acoustic, £17 - bargain! Got that in the summer holidays after Year 5 I think, so about 1999? First electric was a few months after that when me and my teacher realised I could actually string some chords together and have it sound ok.
2 ) What's your first guitar playing memory?
Going through the first chord book I bought, and trying to play along to Santana's Smooth!
3 ) The building's burning, which guitar do you save?
Well I only have 2, and I have 2 hands.. so both of them! Or maybe the Pearl LP and my amp
4 ) When and what was the last thing you practiced?
Yesterday, was just playing along to loads of backing tracks in a bit of a guitar playing binge, after not playing for a while! I've got a bit rusty in the past few weeks I didnt play much so was just getting back up to speed.. got the Beat It solo alright again so I'm doing ok!
5 ) What's the worst thing that's happened to you onstage?
Completely forgot how the Smells Like Teen Spirit solo goes, and somehow made up a shitety solo that sounded even worse than the original. Then a string broke.
6 ) If you could have any vintage guitar to own, and not sell on, what would it be?
I honestly have no idea.. I dont really have any in mind.
7 ) What's the most expensive guitar you've ever bought?
Pearl LP Custom - £250 :lol: add pickups and it goes up to £450
8 ) What's the oldest guitar in your collection?
Pearl LP Custom, from the 70s I believe
9 ) Is there a particular record in your collection that you wouldn't want people to know about?
Not really, though I have a fair few slightly guilty pleasures such as Paramore, Lily Allen, Kate Nash and that sort of thing.
10 ) Is there a song that changed your life, and in what way?
I dont know if I'd quite say changed my life, but 2 songs fueled my guitar interest. Beat It, because I remember hearing the solo and thought it sounded amazing at the time.. then Smooth by Santana which actually made me go out and get a guitar.
-
1 ) What was your first guitar, and when did you get it?
my first was an Hyundai (really!) acoustic that i got for christmas in, i think, 1989. i wanted Slash's Les Paul, but that's what i got! about a year later i got my first electric, a Columbus Strat copy. they were both rubbish.
2 ) What's your first guitar playing memory?
playing Sweet Child O' Mine to my granny on the acoustic. it was terrible, but she told me it was very good :)
3 ) The building's burning, which guitar do you save?
hmm. i suppose it'd have to be my red Gibson M-III. it was my first "good" guitar, and still pretty much my favourite.
4 ) When and what was the last thing you practiced?
Sunday, trying to whip into shape a song i'm trying to write.
5 ) What's the worst thing that's happened to you onstage?
i was the singer. in practice all went well, but when we went on i found they'd moved the monitor behind the drumkit! apparently it was blocking someone's view! i couldn't hear anything, sounded horrendous and was embarrassed for some time after.
6 ) If you could have any vintage guitar to own, and not sell on, what would it be?
a late 50's Les Paul seems so predictable! but it's probably the one. maybe a '56 goldtop, just to be different.
7 ) What's the most expensive guitar you've ever bought?
my 2004 Les Paul Standard. although, after repairs, my '75 probably ended up costing more :(
8 ) What's the oldest guitar in your collection?
the aforementioned 1975 Les Paul Deluxe
9 ) Is there a particular record in your collection that you wouldn't want people to know about?
not really. i've never known people that liked the same music as me, and i have a pretty eclectic collection, none of which embarrasses me. oh, hold on, i did have an FM cd! it was awful! :)
10 ) Is there a song that changed your life, and in what way?
not a song, but i'd say G'N'R's Appetite For Destruction pretty much changed things forever.
-
1 ) What was your first guitar, and when did you get it?
The first I was given was a 20 year old Encore bass with action about an inch high. The first I bought was a £35 Nylon Strung Acoustic bought from my local music shop. I ended up giving it to one of my students. I got the Acoustic a few months before my 14th Birthday
2 ) What's your first guitar playing memory?
My Mum being dead impressed I learnt the riff to 'The Riverboat Song' by Ocean Colour Scene as I sat on the stairs playing it. She said I was like Eric Clapton :D
3 ) The building's burning, which guitar do you save?
The Gibson SG or Explorer. $%&# it, both. I'll break the rules as they are right next to each other in my office and I have two hands/arms.
4 ) When and what was the last thing you practiced?
The riffs to a new song by my band. Yesterday afternoon.
5 ) What's the worst thing that's happened to you onstage?
Other than equipment not working or being too drunk to play/falling over, I lifted my Explorer above my head once at a gig with a low ceiling. It went *CLUNK* on the ceiling, fell out of my hand, *BANG* on the floor. As it fell I thought 'great, there's a grand down to the drain!'. I turned around, picked it up, check the headstock was still on, threw it back on, checked the tuning and the $%&#er was still in perfect tune - went straight into the lead break after that too :D
6 ) If you could have any vintage guitar to own, and not sell on, what would it be?
A Gibson '59 Les Paul or an early Tele/Esquire.
7 ) What's the most expensive guitar you've ever bought?
My Gibson SG, a hair over a grand.
8 ) What's the oldest guitar in your collection?
The Explorer, I bought it second hand when I was 18 (three years ago) and it was around 9 years old then. That makes it around 12.
9 ) Is there a particular record in your collection that you wouldn't want people to know about?
Not really. I'll listen to pretty much anything. If you like it, why be ashamed of it? (Althought I do own Alien Ant Farm's first record amongst some other Nu Metal stuff. Some of it has great song writing and production).
10 ) Is there a song that changed your life, and in what way?
Too many to mention but the one that sticks out most in 'New Noise' by Refused. It showed me the perfect mix of Punk, Metal and Hardcore and that being a strong rhythm player with a good sound is much more important than being a wanky lead player drenched in delay/effects.

1 ) What was your first guitar, and when did you get it?
A horrid red Hondo Strat copy in November 1988. It was such a bad guitar, I sold it a year later and bought a Fenix Strat copy, This one in fact (http://www.flickr.com/photos/mr_atrocity/3222653691/in/set-72157609995640417/).
2 ) What's your first guitar playing memory?
When I got the Hondo I also bought a guitar instructional book that tried to teach me "Auld Lang Syne" on page 4 so I threw that away, got an Eric Clapton songbook, and learned "Cocaine" instead. I was 13.
3 ) The building's burning, which guitar do you save?
My Brook Lyn acoustic. The others are replaceable. If I had a spare hand I'd make room for my Strat too probably.
4 ) When and what was the last thing you practiced?
I was playing "La Grange" last night. I think calling it 'practicing' might be stretching it a bit though.
5 ) What's the worst thing that's happened to you onstage?
Nothing worse than the usual amp cutting out/dodgy cable/pedal running out of battery dullness.
6 ) If you could have any vintage guitar to own, and not sell on, what would it be?
Probably an Olympic White '62 Strat.
7 ) What's the most expensive guitar you've ever bought?
The Brook and they were a lot cheaper when I got mine than they are these days.
8 ) What's the oldest guitar in your collection?
The '96 Tele I've just finished hot-rodding.
9 ) Is there a particular record in your collection that you wouldn't want people to know about?
I don't think so, I'm not proud. People say that "Ice Ice baby" by Vanilla Ice isn't very acceptable. They're wrong.
10 ) Is there a song that changed your life, and in what way?
Probably "Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)" by Jimi Hendrix. It was the first time I'd heard a guitar go into hyperspace.
-
1 ) What was your first guitar, and when did you get it?
There were always guitars in the house, but the first one that was offically mine was a Hondo Deluxe 760, which though now unrecognisable I still have. That was when I was 14, 13 years ago.
2 ) What's your first guitar playing memory?
Not playing - as a very young child, dont know how young, infant even, randomly playing strings and fretting notes on mums classical
Sort of playing - when I was 14 and first given the hondo, going through open string skipping exercises and learning the pentatonic minor
Firist time that joins up with currently playing - when 16, learning, dun dun deeeerrr SMOKE ON THE WATER!
3 ) The building's burning, which guitar do you save?
Very tough call - its either my DX1, which quickly replaced my hondo as main guitar and was my only one to speak of for about 6 years (out of my 11 of playing) or my legra MDV602. The former because of sentimental value, the latter because its waaay my best guitar. Probably the Legra. I'm not all that sentimental. Poor jackson.
4 ) When and what was the last thing you practiced?
Sweep tapping, a couple of weeks ago. Havent quite got the hang of it yet, but its getting there.
5 ) What's the worst thing that's happened to you onstage?
I have to go to a pseudo-stage for this and one of mums singing masterclasses, which my vocalist was in the group for. Shunning backing tracks, he did Clutch, Ghost, and I played it. Now, I go round saying "I dont do covers, what do you think I am, a CD player?" and in amongst improvising fills get one of the easiest riffs in the song horribly wrong :lol:
6 ) If you could have any vintage guitar to own, and not sell on, what would it be?
I really have no interest in vintage guitars whatsoever, but if I had to have one it would be a les paul, and I couldnt even choose a year, whatever the first one was ('58?)
7 ) What's the most expensive guitar you've ever bought?
Legra aurora, not finished yet, but paid for at a little under £1800
8 ) What's the oldest guitar in your collection?
'89 RG, but there are a couple that I have no idea of the age of.
9 ) Is there a particular record in your collection that you wouldn't want people to know about?
This question reminded me: I have a copy of nicklback, the state.
10 ) Is there a song that changed your life, and in what way?
Cant really say. No, not in the way it seems like the quesiton is asking for. Maybe something like Master of puppets, that got me into thrash and metal in general (a BIG deal for me), any one of the songs that spurred me in a new musical taste direction - teen spirit when I was 14, Wherever I may roam at 16, puppets at 17, davidian at 18, a million and one songs since then...I dont suppose thats what the question means, so no is the answer.
-
1 ) What was your first guitar, and when did you get it?
Old Kay classical that my aunt gave me. It had been strung with steel strings & not having a trussrod, the neck was like the deck of the Ark Royal :lol: The first guitar I owned that was properly mine was a cheap dreadnought acoustic (can't remember brand) that I bought for £55.
2 ) What's your first guitar playing memory?
Aged 4, playing a cardboard cutout guitar with some kitchen string on it that my granny made me.
3 ) The building's burning, which guitar do you save?
My custom shop Jackson because it cannot be replaced, though I'd probably die trying to get the rest of my Jacksons & my Feline out too.
4 ) When and what was the last thing you practiced?
An hour ago on my office guitar, the second part of Martin Goulding's guest solo for The Safety Fire, using Nolly's youtube clip (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngQJDRn4jAg). I'm a million miles away from being able to play any of it with any fluency... :(
5 ) What's the worst thing that's happened to you onstage?
Fell off it.
6 ) If you could have any vintage guitar to own, and not sell on, what would it be?
Depends how "vintage" is vintage? If I can't have Randy Rhoads' original Jackson "concorde" (which would be nearly 28 years old now), then I'll say Dave Murray's '57 Fender strat.
7 ) What's the most expensive guitar you've ever bought?
The most I've ever paid for a guitar is £1999 for a Taylor acoustic, although my custom shop Jackson would have cost much more than that had the exchange rate not been so favourable.
8 ) What's the oldest guitar in your collection?
Charvel Model 5 from 1987.
9 ) Is there a particular record in your collection that you wouldn't want people to know about?
Nope. There are tons of albums I wish I hadn't bought or wouldn't buy again, but there's nothing I hide when I have friends around...
10 ) Is there a song that changed your life, and in what way?
"Murders in the Rue Morgue" by Iron Maiden, heard it on a borrowed walkman on a coach ride back from a school trip. First metal I'd ever heard, made me want to play guitar.
-
1 ) What was your first guitar, and when did you get it?
Encore Stratocaster, it was around.. 2003/2004.
2 ) What's your first guitar playing memory?
Sitting on the floor, over tuning the high E and having it whip me in the neck. Playing memory would be playing my first proper song which was Radio by Alkaline Trio and then onto to Wonderful Tonight.
3 ) The building's burning, which guitar do you save?
My red Indie Signature.
4 ) When and what was the last thing you practiced?
Every Last Breath by the Architects
5 ) What's the worst thing that's happened to you onstage?
Nothing really, worst feeling was the acoustic were so cr@p when I was playing a small solo you couldn't hear it but it wasn't really a performance or really on stage.. so.. it was still a sort of song to audience though.
6 ) If you could have any vintage guitar to own, and not sell on, what would it be?
A '65 Stratocaster
7 ) What's the most expensive guitar you've ever bought?
A Vigier Excalibur Supra
8 ) What's the oldest guitar in your collection?
Probably the ESP LTD I have, which is from 2001 or my RG1570 which is also around 2000/2001.
9 ) Is there a particular record in your collection that you wouldn't want people to know about?
I did happen to buy The Streets but that was way before my guitar days and it is hidden away from where I usually have my CDs.
10 ) Is there a song that changed your life, and in what way?
No, but doesn't mean some aren't emotional to me at points in life.
EDIT: But I suppose it was Alive by P.O.D. which was the heaviest thing I heard, and I remember I had it on endless loop on my CD player whilst in the car from a family road trip.
-
MDV said:I really have no interest in vintage guitars whatsoever,
Did you ever try a vintage guitar? Say 50's or 60's Fender, Gibson, Gretsch, Guild etc.?
If not, you should.
-
1 ) What was your first guitar, and when did you get it?
An old Woolworths "Top 20" electric that my dad handed down to me when I was about 9 or 10. It didn't intonate properly, the tremolo was the dodgiest piece of cumbersome pot metal ever, the pickups were scratchy and fizzy and the shape was "mutant Strat", but it was my first!
2 ) What's your first guitar playing memory?
Putting my dad's acoustic flat on the carpet and discovering 12-fret natural harmonics, which led me to pick out the theme from "The Good, The Bad And The Ugly" on the open strings after some experimentation. I can still remember how incredibly chuffed with myself I was.
3 ) The building's burning, which guitar do you save?
It would be my Ibanez RG570FM, because it was the first guitar I saved up for and bought with my own cash, and everything else I have is easier to replace. But I'd also be trying to haul my Marshall Silver Jubilee head out of the fire as well, so I'd die of smoke inhalation on the stairs.
4 ) When and what was the last thing you practiced?
A riff my brother came up with for one of my unfinished songs while I was away on holiday.
5 ) What's the worst thing that's happened to you onstage?
Nothing too traumatic, but at a college performance once I spent weeks trying to perfect the solo to "Stairway to Heaven" against my own wishes and better judgement, only for the singer to launch straight into the last verse over the top of the first bar because, she later explained, "I knew you were nervous about it".
6 ) If you could have any vintage guitar to own, and not sell on, what would it be?
My dad's 1970 white Strat, on which I spent many childhood years learning Deep Purple and Hendrix songs while admiring myself in the mirror.
7 ) What's the most expensive guitar you've ever bought?
My Ibanez RG570FM, which cost me £400.
8 ) What's the oldest guitar in your collection?
The RG570FM again, 1991.
9 ) Is there a particular record in your collection that you wouldn't want people to know about?
No, I'm not embarrassed about any of the terrible music I like to listen to, even the stuff I should be embarrassed about.
10 ) Is there a song that changed your life, and in what way?
The biggest impact a song ever had on me was "It's Tricky" by Run-DMC. It was the first single I bought with my pocket money, because I thought the guys in leather jackets and black hats looked tough and cool, and it was the first time I listened to music that my parents had never heard of - previously I had either been listening to my dad's tapes in the car or the pop music that was on television.
-
1 ) What was your first guitar, and when did you get it?
Squire Bullet, 17th birthday I think. I was a late starter. Horrible guitar.
2 ) What's your first guitar playing memory?
Singing notes to the guitar teacher. Almost getting binned from the first because my singing voice was so bad he thought that I was tone deaf. Then E minor pentatonic!
3 ) The building's burning, which guitar do you save?
Argh. Probably my 7 string Blackmachine.
4 ) When and what was the last thing you practiced?
Last Thursday. Band rehearsal. Rehearsing in <1hr and have not played since last week. Oops.
5 ) What's the worst thing that's happened to you onstage?
Hit by other guitarist's headstock & fell 4+ ft off the side of the stage. Close second is jump/land/180/flat on back hitting monitor with head.
6 ) If you could have any vintage guitar to own, and not sell on, what would it be?
Vintage doesn't really float my boat.
7 ) What's the most expensive guitar you've ever bought?
Blackmachine B7. If I was to order the same spec B6 as I own it would be quite a bit more. My PRS Artist Pack was close and that was used and imported at very good exchange rate.
8 ) What's the oldest guitar in your collection?
1991 Jackson Professional Fusion. Got a used Spanish guitar but I don't know it's history.
9 ) Is there a particular record in your collection that you wouldn't want people to know about?
Not really. I had a large number of CDs burgled in 2000 and there were some howlers in there.
10 ) Is there a song that changed your life, and in what way?
Battery by Metallica. Bought MoP aged 14 just by the cover, went home & put it on my folks' stereo when they were out. Turned into a thrash kid there and then and pretty much everything that's happened since has been affected by music in some way.

1 ) What was your first guitar, and when did you get it?
I got an old beaten up abbandoned home project electric guitar from my dad when I was 16 (I think).
2 ) What's your first guitar playing memory?
I remeber being a kid (10-12) just strumming my dad's acoustic guitar without any chords and him telling me that I'd turned it the wrong way. I'm left handed, but I play right hand. Probably because I was told to turn around the guitar.
3 ) The building's burning, which guitar do you save?
My Godin LG
4 ) When and what was the last thing you practiced?
Last Sunday I played with some friends. We did some own material and a couple of RATM numbers.
5 ) What's the worst thing that's happened to you onstage?
Well I've experienced a power shortage and half the number was played with half the band. The most embarrassing thing must surely be when I couldn't get my pedalboard working (neither could the tech guy) at a local band contest. So I had to ditch the pedals and just go with the amp. Later after the concert I realized that I'd put the guitar into the pedals output. BIG rookie mistake!
6 ) If you could have any vintage guitar to own, and not sell on, what would it be?
Some old Les Paul Custom I think. Don't know which...
7 ) What's the most expensive guitar you've ever bought?
My Godin LG
8 ) What's the oldest guitar in your collection?

Nope
-

Guitarist magazine has 10 questions they ask a guitar player every month, and I wondered what the folks on here would answer? The questions are:
1 ) What was your first guitar, and when did you get it?
2 ) What's your first guitar playing memory?
3 ) The building's burning, which guitar do you save?
4 ) When and what was the last thing you practiced?
5 ) What's the worst thing that's happened to you onstage?
6 ) If you could have any vintage guitar to own, and not sell on, what would it be?
7 ) What's the most expensive guitar you've ever bought?
8 ) What's the oldest guitar in your collection?
9 ) Is there a particular record in your collection that you wouldn't want people to know about?
10 ) Is there a song that changed your life, and in what way?
I'll start off, and if you copy and paste the way I present it we won't forget what the questions are when we read the responses ;)
1 - First:
I won't count the bloody awful flat-top acoustic that had no truss rod and consequently an action that you could limbo-dance under. So that brings us to my Yamaha superstrat - a humbucker at the bridge, two single coils, a strat-type bridge (with whammy), a pointy headstock and a blue-sparkle finish. It was a pretty decent guitar actually and I kept it for a long time until I spotted guitar #2 and sold it to help finance the deal.
2 - Memory:
hmm, tough one this. I seem to recall bashing out the chords to You Shook Me All Night Long on the acoustic mentioned above from one of those '100 songs using only 3-chords' type of books.
3 - Burning:
No question, my Les Paul standard - had it for 15 years now and always been my #1
4 - Practice:
Practised earlier tonight for a new band I've joined, learning 'Burn' by Deep Purple.
5 -Onstage:
Stepped off the drum-riser and went over on my ankle - yep, I broke my foot and yes it hurt like hell.
6 - Vintage:
Probably Clapton's 59 burst he used on Bluesbreakers. Oh, no, scr@p that, its GOT to be Brian May's Red Special, its one of a kind.
7 - Expensive:
My expensive was actually an acoustic. I got it in my mind that I needed a super-expensive flat-top and duly got a Taylor 710 for £1800 (used). I think they were something daft like £2500 new. It was gorgeous and super-refined, however the £500 Martin D-15 I replaced it with was a million times better for my style and had more character, imo.
8 - Oldest:
'67 SG Special - very resonant and a beast of a P90 pickup, but the intonation and tuning issues did my head in. I tuned that thing more than I ever played it.
9 - Record:
probably early Cinderella albums, the image sucked and but still some good songs. or how about The Four Seasons on gatefold vinyl? - that was my parents to be fair though.
10 - Life:
probably a combination of songs my Dad had at the time I started becoming interested in music that wasn't in the charts or on tv. I was into Highway To Hell, Back In Black, Def Lepard's Pyromania album and The Completion Backwards Principe by The Tubes. Oh, and of course it was de rigour to have Reckless in those days, ha ha.
-
1 ) What was your first guitar, and when did you get it?
I was 14 or 15 when I got my first guitar. Second hand Squier Strat beginner guitar with no whammy, and no amp!
2 ) What's your first guitar playing memory?
My dad taught me and my brother a chord or two when we were still little tiny kids, but I didn't learn 'till I was 15, and taught myself.
3 ) The building's burning, which guitar do you save?
Man..such a hard question, because while I love my electric, I absolutely adore my acoustic too. I think I'd die trying to save them both.
4 ) When and what was the last thing you practiced?
Just back from my band practice, at the end we took a run through Whole Lotta Love.
5 ) What's the worst thing that's happened to you onstage?
Breaking a string for Crazy Train, during the intro. The B string. The string the solo starts on. I kept playing abd I had to improvise a different solo, bad times.
6 ) If you could have any vintage guitar to own, and not sell on, what would it be?
70's Les Paul.
7 ) What's the most expensive guitar you've ever bought?
My Epiphone Hummingbird acoustic is actually worth more than my electric, but with the add-ons my electric is dearer, so whatever that means.
8 ) What's the oldest guitar in your collection?
I think my little Squier Strat was made in 1993.
9 ) Is there a particular record in your collection that you wouldn't want people to know about?
Not a single one. I have no guilt listening to music that I like, no matter what it is. If I like it, then I think it's good, and I don't really care what anyone else thinks.
10 ) Is there a song that changed your life, and in what way?
Several songs changed my life. The most important and symbolic on the subject is Sweet Child O Mine. That song made me want to play guitar
-
1 ) What was your first guitar, and when did you get it?
I was fifteen. It was a Jackson JS20.
2 ) What's your first guitar playing memory?
Well before I owned a guitar myself, delicately plucking the strings of my uncles strat, for fear of damaging something.
3 ) The building's burning, which guitar do you save?
Parker Fly Classic.
4 ) When and what was the last thing you practiced?
I really don't practice anymore though once upon a time I did religiously. I don't learn whole songs at all now other than if it's something a bandmate has written. So it'd either be one of those or a melody I heard in an advert or something, I try to learn loads of stuff like that just for my ear.
5 ) What's the worst thing that's happened to you onstage?
I've been tripping onstage at Glastonbury seeing all sorts. I've also been hit in the face by a shoe which had missed it's intended target at a wedding I was playing. Nothing really catastrophic or embarrassing though. Aside from the odd song I've played wrong 'cause I've been a last minute stand in with only the car journey to learn something.
6 ) If you could have any vintage guitar to own, and not sell on, what would it be?
'56/'57/'58 sunburst LP Junior.
7 ) What's the most expensive guitar you've ever bought?
Parker Fly Mojo Flame.
8 ) What's the oldest guitar in your collection?
It'll just be my Parker Fly, 2003, I think.
9 ) Is there a particular record in your collection that you wouldn't want people to know about?
If you're embarrassed by any music you like you should set yourself on fire.
10 ) Is there a song that changed your life, and in what way?
Not, really, I mean, I can trace wanting to play guitar to a specific lick in "Battery" but had it not been that, I'm sure it would have been something else.
-

Hence my choice of nickleback
-
1 ) What was your first guitar, and when did you get it?

7 ) What's the most expensive guitar you've ever bought?
I've always tended to make the expensive one's myself - but amplifiers - possibly my Egnater Rack system
8 ) What's the oldest guitar in your collection?
My Charvel model 2 -1986
9 ) Is there a particular record in your collection that you wouldn't want people to know about?
Not really - I'm open enough about my wide tastes -
Maybe some people wouldn't expect stuff outside of rock -I have Anastascia , Savage Garden and Darren Hayes & and Enrique's first album
Great acoustic playing on it :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qkbAg-m0QQ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qkbAg-m0QQ)
10 ) Is there a song that changed your life, and in what way?
Quite a few - and maybe because they blew my head off with great melodies or guitar:
Bohemian Rhapsody/ We will rock you/We are the champions - and all of Sheer Heart attack LP -Queen
Without Warning /Tooth and Nail - Dokken
Live Wire & Piece of your action - Motley Crue
Rock Me - Great White

10 ) Is there a song that changed your life, and in what way?
Quite a few - and maybe because they blew my head off with great melodies or guitar:
Bohemian Rhapsody/ We will rock you/We are the champions - and all of Sheer Heart attack LP -Queen
...
I was so close to putting something similar (I'd have chosen "We are the champions") for the same reasons as you :D
But then I chose my "songwriting" thing from years earlier.
My reasoning was:
"We are the champions" changed how I thought about melody, performance, pop-rock, everything - so it definitely changed how I perceived what I was starting to do already. It was a big deal hearing that one... but I'd already had similar moments from Paul McCartney, Cliff Richard, the Bee Gees, etc...
Improvising a song around "Billy Don't Be a Hero" some years earlier (no guitar or accompaniment, I wasn't musical as far as I was concerned), showed me how easy it is to invent songs - it seemed that any pillock could do it... I didn't realise it at the time, but later at 14/15 years old when I started learning guitar to accompany my voice, that earlier discovery would have been what empowered me to regard writing my own songs as "no big deal" and something that I could "obviously" do if I wanted to... looking back, I can hardly believe the arrogance/confidence that let me just pile into writing songs - but I think that little session when I was 10 or so is what put it there...
... I spose it could have been any song, and I did it to others afterwards, but "Billy" happened to be the first one, so that had to be my choice for question 10 :D

Remember those piss-poor "Axe" guitars & basses advertised in Melody Maker? A dude stood on stage with a cr@ppy start copy enveloped in dramatic dry ice, curly lead going into a 5inch high 9v battery amp? Well I got the Bass and that didn't even come with the cr@ppy amp!

-

:lol:
Harsh
I'm interested that only a few people other than me regard their personal answer to Q6 as a specific guitar. It just seemed obvious if I was being offered any vintage guitar, possible or not, then I know of exactly the one I'd ask for (I can't be @rsed to scroll back, I've got a feeling you were one too - Malcolm's thingie?)
So if someone said "Pearly Gates", are you gonna let em off?! :lol:
EDIT: Apologies, it was Twinfan!
-
Yep, twas me!
-
Actually I wouldn't want a specific famous player's guitar. I wouldn't want Brian Setzer's '59 6120. I'd have to change the bridge, strings and setup. Although the 9.5" radius doesn't bother me that much, I'd still prefer the stock 12" radius. So I'd be more satisfied with a more regular 6120 from that era.
The same would go for Mal's guitar. I'd rather have one that is more stock; red, two pickups and the Burns vibrato.
For me it's mostly the tone that matters. it's not those specific player's guitars that make the tone unique, it's the player's themselves.
I would forgive someone who'd answer question 6 with Pearly Gates. But lets say someone gets the chance. Would you think he'd sound exactly like Billy Gibbons?
-
Actually I wouldn't want a specific famous player's guitar......
...................it's not those specific players' guitars that make the tone unique, it's the players themselves.
+1
-
I wouldn't want the guitar so I could sound like Malc, and the question doesn't imply it's a tonal question. As I said in my response:
"I'd want to own Malcolm Young's Jet Firebird. Just for the historical significance of it!"
That particular guitar is a legend, as is Pearly Gates and the Red Special. I'd want to own it as a piece of rock n roll history :D
-
Yeah, that's fair enough, if I did own a famous player's guitar it would be as a collector's piece.
On the other hand, I'd feel guilty about owning it - maybe unworthy is a better word - so that would never happen!
-
Yep, my "Rory Gallagher's strat" answer - I'd give it a strum obviously, but I suspect I wouldn't like it as is...
And I would definitely be thinking of it as a sort of "collector's piece" rather than a regular player - not in a "collector" sort of way but more of an "I own that icon, sigh... :D :D" - I've got lots of memories/emotions tied up in that particular guitar.
I wouldn't turn down Pearly, or the Red Special, or probably any other, if you offered it to me, but the RG strat is my "I'd like that one please :D".
I'd feel no shame about owning it for no other reason than "I own it". And I wouldn't feel precious or feel any responsibility towards posterity - it would be "mine" and everyone else, present and future, can go whistle... if it got damaged, it got damaged, so what... (sorry to anyone going "AGGH!" :lol:) It would probably be on display if I had room, but not behind glass or anything, and someone who knew what it was would be more than welcome to have strum...
(I almost started believing I was gonna get it for a moment then while I was typing! :roll:... :lol:)
-
If you did have Rorys Strat, Andy. I'd definitely be round at your house to give it a strum. You would probably have to force me to leave though :lol:
-
1 ) What was your first guitar, and when did you get it?
Squire fat strat. simplez
2 ) What's your first guitar playing memory?
Playing powerchord stuff like soufly, linkin park and korn with my mate on his MIJ RG
3 ) The building's burning, which guitar do you save?
Probably my Epiphone SG because it has BK's in it.
4 ) When and what was the last thing you practiced?
Too long ago, I dont really "practise" I just played some funky ideas.
5 ) What's the worst thing that's happened to you onstage?
Nocked my mates maverick over and it got $%&#ed up.
6 ) If you could have any vintage guitar to own, and not sell on, what would it be?
Probably some sort of old spanish mans guitar that he died with his arm over. Does that sort off thing happen?
7 ) What's the most expensive guitar you've ever bought?
Fret King Eclat Standard Blueburst £550 roughly half the full price.
8 ) What's the oldest guitar in your collection?
Shergold.
9 ) Is there a particular record in your collection that you wouldn't want people to know about?
Not really I love music. But probably a soundtrack like final fantasy or ridge racer because its nerdy.
10 ) Is there a song that changed your life, and in what way?
Probably some Nu-Metal song because it got playing guitar. Korn Blind
Stole format from fernando :lol:
-
I wouldn't want to own it just to own it, nor for the significance. They belong to the players.
-
In "reality" I think I agree with you Ratrod :D - but I kinda regard Q6 as a hypothetical "if someone gave you any guitar", so it freed me from that side of it :roll:
I think Twinfan would probably feel the same - no wurries if you don't Dave, feel free to deprive Malcolm Young of his geetar :lol:
-
1 ) What was your first guitar, and when did you get it?
Other than a plastic Beatles acoustic when I was 10 and had no clue, it would be a Vox Clubman when I was 15
2 ) What's your first guitar playing memory?
We were practising at the singer's Dad's pub and there was a wedding and they asked us to play! We did I'm So Glad, House of the Rising Sun and a few others that I can't remember now
3 ) The building's burning, which guitar do you save?
My 61 Strat & 53 Les Paul conversion (they're in the same place - if I can get one I can get the other!!
4 ) When and what was the last thing you practiced?
It would be my last bass playing gig, but normally I just play along with stuff. So that would be Chris Duarte Blue Velocity
5 ) What's the worst thing that's happened to you onstage?
Many years ago we were playing a US Air Force bass in Germany and the power shorted when the bass player touched the mike stand - he was lucky and was thrown back into his Marshall stack which then fell over. His A string was welded to one of the frets, the plug was driven through the bulgin on the Marshall and the club lights went out! The other thing that saved him was the trip fuses on the mains board. When the power came back on the Marshall was still working! It was always going to be a tough gig, we were sent to replace a soul band in the black GI club (we were a rock band), and we had to play the gig without a bass player. I've never been happier to get out of a place in my life!
6 ) If you could have any vintage guitar to own, and not sell on, what would it be?
I'm lucky in that I have a lot of these, but if I could get an original Metal Front Zemaitis I'd keep that (of course if I could get a 59 Les Paul I'd love one of those too!)
7 ) What's the most expensive guitar you've ever bought?
Other than my custom made semi-acoustic 5 string bass, it would be my 53 conversion LP - $2,500 with original case.
8 ) What's the oldest guitar in your collection?
1917 Washburn parlour acoustic. It is a great sounding guitar. The 53 conversion LP is my oldest electric
9 ) Is there a particular record in your collection that you wouldn't want people to know about?
No - I have really eclectic taste - I just bought a Pussycat Dolls album because I like "I hate this part". I have tons of 12" singles from the 80's and still love all of them.
10 ) Is there a song that changed your life, and in what way?
Lots, growing up in the 60's there was so much happening in music, the things I remember are all the Mowtown Classics, Otis Redding showing how you could give the Beatles soul, the Small Faces (some really great songs), Fleetwood Mac, the Stones, Back Sabbath, the Floyd, Wishbone Ash, Led Zeppelin. However if I really had to cut it down, I would have to say The Hunter by Free and Green Manalishi by Fleetwood Mac (though Oh Well was also amazing when it came out). I still have tons of Paul Kossoff influence in my playing.

Tough one for me. Either my Yamaha Pacifica 812 (my 18th birthday present from mum and dad), my Yamaha APX acoustic (part bought for me by my nan), or my Warmoth Soloist, which is a one-off and imposible to replace like-for-like.
4 ) When and what was the last thing you practiced?
On the weekend, practiced Jessica by the Allman Brothers
5 ) What's the worst thing that's happened to you onstage?
Forgot the words to the Jeff Healey song I was playing and singing during a solo acoustic performance. Nowhere to go there.

Two: Dry County by Bon Jovi - the solo showed me how great a guitar could sound.
Motorcycle Driver by Joe Satriani - took my idea of what a guitar can do (in the right hands) to the next level, and convinced me to actually learn to play.
-
Everyone saying they'll save two guitars ;) I'll grab my white Steinberger as well then!
-
In that case, I'll grab La Cabronita built by our very own Wez :lol: I'm pretty sure I could replace my Modern Eagle with another, so that slips to third.
Actually, with La Cabronita in its gig bag on my back I could grab all three....

Could you chuck the Fano in the general direction of a window so maybe I could catch it or reach in and grab it?
-
Chuck them all out the window. Everyone knows they sound better after a neck break
-
Forgot about the Fano! I can probably get that on one shoulder and La Cabronita on the other, thus saving 4...
