Marshal Hangtree Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Any guitar, banjo, mandolin, dobro, etc. pickers here? I've played a little fiddle, and a little clawhammer banjo, and upright bass in the past. But tomorrow night I start my first lessons on the Dobro. Can't wait.

Three Foot Johnson Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Fiddle, mandolin, a little banjo, and a little dulcimer. Guitars are boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bgavin Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 5-string Mastertone, 3-finger style. Lap steel, as a duffer. Electric bass and keys for serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rye Miles #13621 Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 I’ve been playing guitar for 50 years on and off. It’s not my first instrument that would be drums. I started on guitar but just never got serious about it. I pick it up every day lately but just play mostly chords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackwater 53393 Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Never got serious about learning. My hands were made for other tasks. I have three guitars, all tuned to open E. I can play bar cords and can almost keep up if the song is real slow. I know some great guitar players and I’m usually able to convince them to play so folks don’t notice how bad I sound when I sing!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocWard Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 I took up guitar as an adult. After a number of years taking lessons, I don't consider myself very good. I have a hard time relaxing and not second guessing myself as I play. Oddly, that is not a problem I have in karate. My guitar instructor was an amazing talent, and I've often wondered why he never left our town. We became good friends, and we would often spend the better part of a lesson talking music instead of actually working on a lesson. Sadly, he passed away at the beginning of the year. I haven't had it in me to pick up a guitar sense, and they sit in their cases. One picture is Rob Mowery performing live, the other are my two guitars, both gifts. We have a total of four electric, three acoustic and two bass guitars in our house. That doesn't include the other instruments. If I were going to take up another instrument, it would have to be mandolin, so I could play some Led Zeppelin tunes that use it, and maybe some Bill Monroe for the heck of it.

Marshal Hangtree Posted November 14, 2019 Author Share Posted November 14, 2019 Well, right after finding a local Dobro teacher, I was put in contact with a local fiddle teacher who plays old time fiddle by ear. So I put the dobro on hold and went back to the fiddle again. Havin' a blast with the fiddle and making progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they don't understand banjos, nor appreciate them the way we aficionados, do. My partner in 'Nam could expertly play anything with strings on it, and often proved it. His Foggy Mountain Breakdown put Scruggs in the shade, and he played a couple of Asian instruments that he learned to play just because. He was also a master pianist. Sure helped morale when he decided to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Widder, SASS #59054 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 12-string 'geet-tar' for me. Ovation. Can strum or finger pick. My biggest hurdle is learning the name of the chords I play/pick. ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
