Jaime Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Noel's Angel Sometimes I get a bit snobby about guitars. If you like it and you play it, God bless you!! PS Paul who? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaime Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Incidentally to finish up my Ovation rant. The Ovation company originally made helicopter blades for the military. Then they decided to build "lute backed " guitars. Hence the helicopter blade reference earlier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel's angel Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Paul Simon-my hero Yeah, I suppose whatever works for you. I think sometimes if you are really passionate about something, you can seem snobbish about it, but it is just 'cause you know a lot about it and love it, so don't worry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel's angel Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 I'm like that with mandolins lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heyyoimjohnny Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 I've been playing for a couple years. Well, I got my first crappy beginner's one two Christmases ago. And I'm really enjoying it! I've written a couple songs and quite a few tunes. A few months ago, I got a takamine... my baby. I have an Aria electric guitar, too, and a few accessories. I use a lot of tablature and play a lot of the classic rock tunes as well as some of the newer Christian stuff. And then other random things that I feel like playing... and thats all the guitarist profile I can come up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel's angel Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Takamine are cool. I mostly play Paul Simon stuff, but some of it is pretty difficult, especially as he tunes his guitar like half a tone lower or something, it gets annoying when you are trying to figure out chords and stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heyyoimjohnny Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 yeah, I hate it when people play with wierd tunings, lol. I'll always end up playing it when it's tuned regular and hope I can sing it a half-step higher or w/e lol. I mean, sheesh. Who thinks to tune the guitar wierd when they're writing music?

Noel's angel Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 lol, i know! I just change the tuning but its annoying when you are trying to play along with the recording... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geetarplayer Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 I love playing with alternate tunings... It opens up limitless possibilities and can keep a new song from sounding like it's already been written. -Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel's angel Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 yeah but when they tune it slightly lower than conventional tuning, it bugs me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaime Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 I spent a year learning Michael Hedges stuff. I had to buy a new guitar to keep in his tuning. It was a lot of fun. Love Paul Simon. I saw S & G in their reunion concert in 83. That was a little slice of history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
