[jibberish]

well good. get in on the project. i told you i would host reaper and wavosaur so you can download them if u wanted them.

ive had my cortez LP copy since 1978, but really only dicked around with it.  i got serious about 2 years before i joined sr.com so im thinking 2002 ish. so lets say 9yrs, give or take, of serious playing and trying to learn the shit.

im a slow learner..heh  BUT i have so much fun....who cares. although i can play chords pretty sick now. i would say that is my strongest skill, rapid chord changes.

[strangelight]

since 1997. when i was 11.

i've neglected my guitars for the last 3 years or so because grad school's a 60-70/hr a week job and i feel guilty if i do anything other than work or sleep. but fuck that shit, i miss it.

[justinhedrick]

got my strat copy that i still have in 1994. got serious about playing in 1997. so . . . 14 years? man, i should be a lot better than i am . . .

[black_out]

since late '97ish. They offered guitar classes at my high school. They wanted to teach you how to read music and shit, but fuck that. I jammed to Zeppelin songs with my friends everyday for 3 hours and failed the shit out of that class.

I got my first acoustic guitar in 1976. I dint really learn to actually play anything till I'd got an electric in 1984.

[RAGER]

Got my first guitar in 1984.  You'd think I'd be able to play circles around Ynwie by now but I can't.  I can just play circles around some of my friends.

Now I am depress.  Thanx

"Got my first real six string...oh at the Five an' Dime..played it 'til my fingers bled...was the summer of '69"

Actually it was '79, a three pickup blue Teisco Del Rey. I got my first "good" guitar in '82, a Gibson SG, one of the ones with the half-pickguard and harmonica bridge

I'm not even the oldest cat here, that's kinda nice.. haha

[Lumpy]

Oh I'd say about 20, now coming up quick on 21 days.

[giantchris]

Started playing bass in early 2002.  Guitar "seriously" in I'd say late 2009.  I didn't really take music seriously until 2007.  I was really sick in 2006 and couldn't play and found I missed playing a lot and threw myself into it when I got healthy.

Nowadays I work so much I don't play that much anymore   Its funny too because now I am actually pretty good on bass.

[Discö Rice]

22 years.

i started playing bass in december 1987 when i was 19..bought my first bass which was a black peavey T-40. the thing was awesome..the neck got a crack and i sold it to a friend..the crack was disclosed prior to the sale..btw.

since the summer of 87. I was 16. Sold my little street bike and bought a squire strat with a peavey rage and a cheapo flanger pedal.

[bass sic]

I got my first bass for Xmas 78, but never made a real attempt to play till 1980. Since then I've been awesome. Probably the best ever. I'm huge in japan.

224 Dog Years

[Ranbat]

 Just shy of 30 years unless you count a couple start and stops before then. Or the 5 years I took off from music. No guitar, no CDs, no radio. Well, talk radio.

[Baltar]

'92

[justJon]

I was playing cello in 1969 when I discovered rock 'n' roll (Zeppelin, Steppenwolf and Sabbath) Took me two years to afford my own drumkit, so...40 years?

[jibberish]

wait...cello..the holy grail of doom instruments.

a)do you still have one?
b) if so, do you still mess with it.
c) if so..u gotta make me tracks.

[justJon]

Nahh... I continued to play anthrough High School, but when college came around I sold it (for a pretty good price!) to get my (the?)first electronic drumkit, the simmons SD series of the early '80's.

I don't have that anymore, either.

[doomhawk]

drums 95 > bass 97 > guitar 99 to present.

[Isabellacat]

First riff I learned on guitar was some Shonen Knife song. First song I learned in it's entirety was Smells Like Teen Spirit.


Wow you people that have been playing since the 70's/early 80's must be really good.

[rayinreverse]

Since 92
