I'm 47 and have been playing since 1959. My older brothers were taking guitar lessons (Ventures, etc.) and I bugged them until they showed me how to play what they learned. I have played off and on for all those years, but about 5 years ago I started playing regularly again.

I'm 17 and have been playing for 2 years now. Never took lessons, I just used books & stuff and spent (still do) several hours a day playing. I'm actually left handed, but I play guitar right handed. I've always wondered if this would affect my playing since guitar takes both hands to play, does aybody know?

I am 41 and have been playing for about 4 years. Played keyboards in bands from the time I was 12 until I was about 25, then did sound and lights for a few years and now I am finally doing what I wanted to do all along!

Well this is my first post. Anyways...
Im 21 and started to play a bit at 18 but just now actually "playing". I have no theory knowledge and im not that good. I can play songs of tab websites but I actually want to learn "how to play" as in theory. Any suggestions so im not stuck playing AC/DC tabs for the rest of my life.

Thanks

i dunno. somebody on the first page of this thread said he had a kung fu grip guitar. i think he meant one where the action is really bad and you have to grip it real hard.
