You play too if I recall correctly? I don't know if I ever asked you but what instrument? We only really talked about it when we were making up that chord progression in mafia.
I play the guitar as well, but I play chords and rhythm. I'm sad to say I barely know the pentatonic scales.
I have 2 acoustics. A black Taylor jumbo and a Martin D-28. I try to play them once a week or so, but it doesn't always happen.
I also have a Gibson Melody Maker that I hardly ever play.
A Taylor and a Martin? I'm jealous! The only time I've played them is at guitar stores. I was just looking at the D-28, it sounds great. I can't say I'm a fan of Gibson guitars though. Every Gibson I've played has never felt right. The necks always feel too narrow. Granted, they sound great and can produce some sounds you simply can't get on a Strat.
What kind of music do you play? I've always imagined you play jazz given your username.
The pentatonic scale is the only one I really know completely, but I am familiar with other scales and modes. I prefer to learn intuitively, as I find it gets boring memorising scales and stuff.
Equipment wise, my main guitar is an American Strat, as seen in the video, but I also have a Mexican Strat, an Epiphone Acoustic, a 12 String Guitar, a Classical Guitar, a Mandolin, a Ukulele, a Banjo which I barely play, a bunch of harmonicas, and a Balalaika. I have a bass guitar too, which can be fun to play now and again.
I run my electric through an AC30, though I would really like to get a Marshall when I can afford it, as I love the sound.
So the gibson MM, my grandpa gave me when I was around 12 or 13 years old, and back then - the 80s - I played all the hair metal stuff. Ozzy, Aerosmith, Iron Maiden, etc. I had the MM and a green Tube Screamer pedal and a small Rickenbacker amp that had a built in distortion. I could play the rhythm and basic riffs to many songs, but I never could or never tried to do the solos.
Then I got married young and had kids and didn't play much at all until the mid 90s. I picked up my old acoustic that I had had for years - I think it was a Goya brand - and started playing classic country songs like Willie, Merl Haggard and George Strait. And shortly after that I forced myself to learn to play and sing at the same time which wasn't terribly easy for me.
Fast forward a few years (early 00s), I've got a decent career and been taking care of my family and everything, so I decide to treat myself to a nice guitar, and that's when I bought the Taylor. This is the only guitar I've ever bought :D
Fast forward to now. I play and sing 80s new wave stuff like DM, Erasure, The Cure, New Order as well as the classic country stuff mentioned before.
It will direct you to Spotify, and you will be offered to pre-save my album ahead of its release. When it is released it will be added to your Spotify library, at which point you will be free to listen to it at your leisure, or delete it. I don't really mind either way, you'd just be doing me a favour by giving me a pre-save. Looks good for the algorithm apparently.
For those of you who hate me, there's no need to do anything!
Also, a task for everyone who reads this: Tell me an album that you consider one of your top ten favs of all time, and I will put it on my list of things to listen to. When I get around to listening to it I'll tell you my thoughts. And I'll try to be kinder than I am in FE Playlist.
