Don't play nearly as much as I used to.
Acoustic mainly these days. Play anything with a basic rhythm really, your general popular acoustic numbers.
Absolutely love having a few jars and belting out some Rebs of course. Make up medleys on the spot. When the mrs was away on her henny (in 2012) me and a couple of mates were steamboats and I was playing jelly and ice cream, some * put babestation on and we did "she's gettin her * out when the rangers die" for about 5 mins! Polis chapped the door and my mate answered it draped in a tricolour, bottle of blue nun in hand (ran out of decent booze) and was asked to keep it down :56:Aidan O’Shea and Gercelt like this. -

Been playing for 14 years, used to play in bands. I mostly play rock, indie and metal and I prefer playing electric, but acoustic is handy when your neighbours have a new born. :)
I delve into other styles too, but the three I mentioned are what I know best. -

Gretsch make some lovely guitars. They do some classic 50s style jazz bodies that are nice. If you are looking high end acoustic, you need to be looking at nice Canadian spruce tops, lovely sound. The wood makes the difference. But the one everyone goes for is made in Co. Down here in Ireland, Lowden. Used to be a waiting list for them. With clients like Clapton, MC Cartney etc. I don't play but it is on my list to do. Never used to get the time but I will do. BTW Louden had a split in partners. The other factory is now Avalon. -
I play quite a bit. Have a few: a gibson 60s SG tribute, american special tele, a takamine electro acoustic, and a hounddog resonator.
Mostly play blues but dip in and out of most genres. I got the resonator at christmas so currently learning slide guitar with alternative tunings. -

Said this in another thread a few months back but it is something I've always wanted to learn.
Never taken the time out to try it though. Would love nothing more than being able to just pick up a guitar and belt out a few tunes. -
Acoustic, but I didn't bring my guitar with me when I moved out 4 years ago and I've fell away from it :54:
Had been playing since primary 4 or something as well. -
I play the banjo, not particularly well, and haven't played it in a while but was in a band a couple years back at uni.
Always intend to get an acoustic guitar though, think that would be easier to play, and wouldn't mind doing a few open mic nights. -
Will get back in to it when I have some free time.
I have zero rhythm though. -
Same here mate :56::56::56:
Getting right back into the swing of it though at picking up more and more rhythm patterns, although when I try and put it together with my singing, my rhythm goes to * :56::56::56::54::55: -
That's a shame - you and I could be the modern day Simon and Garfunkel :102:

Hello Padmill my old friend, I've come to talk to you again.

I've got loads of instruments but I'm not particularly good at any of them. I can play passable rhythm.
Electric, acoustic, hollow body electric, mandolin, Irish tenor banjo, ukulele, and a fiddle. No idea how to play the fiddle :giggle1: -
I laughed at that probably more than I should have :56::56::56::56:

Just keep practicing and it'll come naturally to you. There are plenty of rhythm guides on YouTube if you have the time to watch and practice. -
