Hey started learning to play the electric guitar, im a beginner now but omg it feels so good when you get a bit of a song down. Anyone here play too? (not just electric but acoustic/bass etc)  :azn:

I've got three from my dad but wouldn't know where to start. Probably going to have to sell them though to pay towards his debts

I used to play a bit of guitar when I was younger. But in recent years I have become more of a piano guy.

Are you taking lessons or learning from online?

I do, not so much lately with my studies.

just learning online little bits here and there. i recently got a new amp, the boss katana 50 mk2 and omg its so so good. so many new tones, Heavy metal, nice clean sound, i can recreate metallica, AC/DC kind of tones. my old amp just had a basic preset clean or overdrive sound. my guitar i got is still a cheap one, only about £80 pounds worth. it came as part of a pack with my old amp and some other stuff.

I love guitar! Been playing for around 20 years and I'm still just as obsessed with it haha.
Be careful once you collecting some gear though, it can get very addicting 😬

The PRS SE line are such great guitars! Really can't go wrong with them, probably some of the best value for money at the moment.
And oh man, it might be easier to post a picture at some point than list everything out 😅

yeah ive heard great things about them. Main thing i like is the coil tap feature. I've played one in a local guitar shop and they play very very nicely. i think i didnt play a standard though, all they had was a bonnie pink SE custom 24, but the guy said theres not too  much difference between the custom and the standard. but i do say it felt really nice to play.

aha, i take it you've got the whole shebang? pedals, amps, guitars etc?
