I Play the Guitar

When I was 17 I broke my middle finger on my fretting hand. Well, today I broke two bones on the same hand. I was at work carrying some equipment when my foot got caught on a strap and tripped me. I put my hand out to brace myself and...

I've been playing since I was 7. I learned fast too. My dad is an amazing guitarist and my older brother used to be in a pretty successful band, until they all sort of broke up. Guitar is what helps me through the day and something I...

Last night joy attempted to elude me & sorrow tried to drown my dreams. I was having difficulty remembering my purpose..
Marley had been on my mind but I believed I lacked the energy to strum him properly. Eventually desire overwhelmed...

I used to imagine that I play guitar with the use of stick broom when I was a kid. Then i do the rock and roll moves. lol I sang different songs and sometimes just creating my own lyrics (which i don't understand) so funny and always...

I startred to play in 1970 after hearing Led Zeppelin III on the then burgeoning f.m. rock radio. I started out with a very cheap accoustic guitar and an instructional rhythm guitar booklet put out by a local music store I saw on a...

For me, playing the guitar is the one thing that takes me away from the world. Whenever I need to get out of my head and into a different dimension I pick up my guitar and play. I'm not necessarily amazing at guitar, but just hearing...

I picked up a guitar, less than two years ago. Before that, I had never even touched a guitar, didn't know what a plectrum was either. I was brave, people told me you can't just buy a guitar without playing someone else's first.
I had...

I started playing when I was 16 and ever since then, I was hooked to playing the guitar. I love the weight of the instrument on my lap and the feel of the strings as I pluck it with my fingers, I like it's crisp sound that it makes...

I always wanted to sing in public and play my guitar.. Or just play a song for someone I love.. maybe it'll be really romantic if the guy does that.. But I really want to do it anyway. I think it will look cute. :)I was inspired to play...

I am a guitarist. I practice about 3 hours a day. I play the songs I love for enjoyment, but I challenge myself with jazz improv. I have been playing for the last 5 years, and have bought every single piece of equipment I own with my...

I never knew how to play a guitar. At first, there wasn't anything that seemed to interest me about it. During elementary, I would hear some of my friends play it. Once, I heard one of my friends play "More Than Words" and she just sang...

I started playing in 7th grade- almost 20 years ago.  I knew pretty much right away that this what I was going to do.  I went to music school, and even worked towards a music grad degree.  I teach music for a living now...

I just started playing a few months ago. I do feel like I've picked up on it naturally. It is very easy. Not to mention I'm learning on an electric guitar...without an amp...or a tuner. :D My dad was phenomenal at playing the guitar, he...

I started taking lessons when I was 7, classical and folk. By age 11 I was worshiping the gods- Hendrix, Slash, Moon, Page. I was in my first band at age 14, a garage band where I played 2nd guitar with a group of friends. I went into a...

My guitar is a great passion in my life, I been playing for the better part of my life, I have to play it almost every day just to know that I still have some feelings with passion. I have played many gigs and I still do from time to...

(Thank you QuantumMike for the inspiration! :-)

I have been experimenting a lot this year with my guitar. Playing with open chords a lot. Trying to find out which chord shapes are moveble playing songs with them. Learning...

I think I spent quite a lot of my teenage years, certainly from '83 to '87, secretly wanting to play the guitar.....

Just a bit nervous of actually buying one....I mean, what did I know about guitars?

I KNEW that I wanted one; weaned...

My instructor says I'm off to a great start and I learn faster than the average student. He's impressed with my ability to grasp what he's teaching me. So I guess it runs in the blood after all!I still sound like crap but I'm learning...

I was always super fascinated by guitars and guitar players. I played in the band, so I could read music, but playing in a chordal manner was foreign to me. I guess that is why I was always so enticed by guitarists.
When I got to...

I tried learning to play the guitar as a kid twice. Both times I failed. I wanted to play the electric guitar, but the music store recommended an acoustical guitar to start. Then my parents signed me up for lessons. Each week was was...
