Hey guys, so tonight I was playing on my Fender Kingman Acoustic Bass, and then it hit me, "I wonder if there are any other guitarists on the forum?" And so, I bring you a discussion thread, FOR GUITARS OF ALL KINDS! :grin:

I myself am an amateur bassist (though I've been playing bass for 6 years now), and I would like to know if there are any other fellow guitarists on the forum. I don't care if you play electric, acoustic, or even rock it on bass like me, as long as ya got a guitar and jam out fairly frequently, I'd say join the discussion! :smile:

(Pics of your guitar(s) are always appreciated!)
 
I want to learn how to play one,but i dont have one yet. Hopefully i can get enough money to buy a decent one. I do play the piano though.

Which kind of guitar do you plan on playing? For Acoustic, I recommend a Yamaha (preferably one without electronics, especially if you are just starting out and aren't ready to perform publicly). For Electric, a half-decent Epiphone starter guitar should work well (it may sound cheap, but at least it will be something to play with). If you are going bass (which has a much easier learning curve really, though Acoustic might fit more your style having piano background experience), a Squier Affinity is a very good starting bass at $120 (I myself am debating between an Affinity Precision/Jazz or a Vintage Modified Precision/Jazz myself).

Ah, very nice.

I myself own a Fender Kingman SCE Acoustic Bass (which I think you may have seen), but just in-case, this is what it looks like (exact same as the one I have):

Fender makes very good guitars on both sides. I know the moment I tried out my Kingman at a Guitar Center, I thought, "This guitar sounds so beautiful, I must have it". Got it for Christmas this past year actually.

I'd say, go for what you feel comfortable with. If you have any music stores in your area (or if you have a Guitar Center nearby), I'd say try some out, some Fenders are low-end for starters, and some are on the high end for experienced/professional guitarists, but they sound so good. (You'll know it when you see the price tag. :tongueout:)

If you are planning to pursue being in a band/soloing as an artist, I recommend getting an Acoustic with electronic components, aka, Acoustic-Electric Guitar. Otherwise, if it's just for recreational use, just go for something without electronics.

Ah, how good of playing it are ya? I'l admit, when I started bass, the only training in music I had was from 4th grade mostly as far as instruments went, and even then, by the time I started bass I had forgotten most of it.

Currently I'm using StudyBass to help myself learn more about the bass. I started yesterday, but already I think I'm beginning to understand things. I'd recommend looking at some online resources if you want to get better at Acoustic Guitar. The way I started to improve on bass was by simply playing riffs in songs I liked, and it's not a bad way to start out either.

Well, in my understanding, it might be. I have a friend who's a pianist, and he was interested in playing the bass. So, I brought my bass guitar over, and the moment I told him where some of the chords were, he picked up on instantly. That's not saying he suddenly knew how to play it however, he just knew where every chord was on the bass' fretboard. I'd personally think the bass would be an easier step to learning guitar. Once you have the bass down pat, you could probably pick up acoustic or electric really fast, since both guitars simply add 2 more strings.

Ah, seems we've got a recurring trend of Fender players here. :tongueout:

The avatar I have as of this post is of a Squier Affinity Precision PJ Bass. I tried one out at Guitar Center, and I loved the sound it had. Once I have the money saved up, I'm going to buy it. ;)
