i don't know how to play. but i do love guitars and someday when i'm old and can sit still i'll probably teach myself some stuff.

for now, they sit in their stands and just look cool.

i have a nice, old gretsch, an ibanez bass, and a beginner epiphone sg special.

i feel like guitars can be beautiful and i love music so for now they sit around just making my place look cooler but i know someday i will at least try to teach myself a few things. my hands don't want to work together so i know i'm not a natural and i will need to really practice but it'll be fun.

Only 13? My liver probably looks like an exhumed Egyptian corpse wrapped in used civil war bandages.

I'll give you a few lessons while i'm down there and have a bunch of lessons (in tablature) that i can give you as well. They'll help you with open chords, finger exercises, timing and tempo etc etc.

because new jersey doesn't know how to have fun, i bought these and they were just little squares. new jersey is afraid kids will be attracted to them if they're shaped like ears. new jersey is weird.

I mean, the packaging is more than enough to attract interest...

is bass easier to learn than guitar? i kind of find myself checking out the bass when i listen lately. like a groovy bassline or some bass behind the music that i never noticed before. i kind of love tim commerford's funky bass sound. also, i listen to a lot of acdc and they did some cool bass stuff too.

It can be. A comfortable instrument is key. Bass obviously has larger strings that can be difficult for some. But it's all about practice and passion for the instrument, music and it's a beautiful way to zone out and relax.

When I would practice for 12 hours a day.....I would actually get into a meditative state and would be SO focused I wouldn't hear anything else around me.

i feel like i'd like to understand both someday but i might end up playing the bass.

i notice that even though i have no idea what i'm doing, when i pick up the guitar i use a pick but when i pick up the bass i just use my fingers. i don't know if that's just what my brain is used to seeing on tv or what but i never grab the pick when i'm screwing around with the bass guitar.

ear hole, my new friend,

i also had two other guitars before because they were signed by musicians. i had a sunburst epiphone les paul and a real cheap fender squire bullet. the les paul was signed by all the guys in soundgarden and the bullet was signed by chris cornell and eddie vedder.
