So the young lady with the guitar pick tattoo got me thinking:

How many guitar players do we have here?
How long have you been playing?
What style?
How many guitars?
What kind?
Anything else that occurs to you that I may have missed?

Me:
Q: How long have you been playing?
A: 34 years

Q: What style?
A: Celtic fingerstyle

Q: How many guitars?
A: 5

Q: What kind?
A: 1 Taylor (12-string), 3 Lowdens (12-strings all), 1 Lakewood (nylon string). All acoustic.

Q: Anything else?
A: I'm in a band. I also play solo. I used to teach. I like Michael Hedges, Michael Gulezian, Leo Kottke, Phil Keaggy, Ed Gerhard, and Al Petteway. I've met two of them. Meeting them did not make me a better player.

    I'm not a singer -- I have enough trouble just talking. :bigsmile:
    Guitar Hero?! Never been a gamer.

    Mostly acoustic players checking in so far. This is good.
