I was wondering if there were any blues/rock guitarists out there ?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

1. Welcome to the Lounge, my dear zzaapp!

There are several folks here who play blues/rock...

Hopefully they'll show up!

And welcome to DU too.

[zzaapp]

2. Thanks for the welcome Peggy

Are you a player?

[Swede]

3. Welcome zzaapp.

Start a thread with that question,you'll probably get more or a response that way.

[zzaapp]

4. thanks Swede

Do you mean that I should have put the question in the title line instead of "Howdy, new to the group?"

[Swede]

5. Yeah.

I knew my explanation was awkward,but I hoped you'd get it,and you did.

[zzaapp]

6. That's a good tip.

Do you think that I should restart the thread?

[Swede]

20. They are free,so why not?

Or you could edit it,but this one seems to be getting attention.

[zzaapp]

26. Thanks for your help Swede..do you play?

[Swede]

29. I love music,but cannot play a note.

[zzaapp]

11. Yes, you ARE! I'm finding that it's a rare commodity

[nadine_mn]

10. Welcome zzapp

I see you started a new thread to ask your specific question, so let this one serve as your official welcome thread!

[zzaapp]

12. Hi Nadine, and thanks. Swede suggested that I do that, makes sense

Are you a player? (guitar) lol

[zzaapp]

13. Nadine, I would like to close my first thread and post these replys to

the new one I made. HELP!!!!

[Ptah]

14. How about edit the title to this: Howdy, new to the group, any blues/rock guitarists out there?

Howdy, new to the group, any blues/rock guitarists out there ?

[zzaapp]

15. Ptah, I was trying, but couldn't figure out how (technically challenged)

[Ptah]

16. At the lower right of your post there are some links:

[zzaapp]

17. Duh!!!! Thanks.

[OriginalGeek]

18. Welcome zzaapp

it gets easier really quickly. Don't sweat the nuts and bolts.

I'm not (yet) but there are several musicians in the group and they will see your thread eventually.
I want to do this: http://www.democraticunderground.com/1018117204

Cheers!

[zzaapp]

24. Geek, I responded to your post that you sent. Hope it helps.

19. Ah, you've found The Lounge. Welcome.

Quite a few musicians hang out here (it is a Lounge after all ). Lots of guitarist of both the six string and bass variants, and a lot of appreciation for the Blues.

Classic Rock is well represented as well as most of the different genres up to current recordings.

Nickelback is universally despised (as they are in the real world) so post appreciation threads for them at your own risk.

Otherwise it's wide open. Lots of music knowledge and appreciation here, so jump in and add yours.

[zzaapp]

21. Yes, I found it thanks to you!!!

Nicklecrack????!!!!!! LOLOL They SUCK!!!!!!

[Taverner]

22. I'm an amateur one, yes

Bluesbassman is a professional tho

[zzaapp]

23. Bluesbassman...are you a professional !!!!????? I'm not worthy!!

Taverner, what kind of guitar/equip do you have?
Taste in Music?

[Taverner]

30. I have...

A Fender Strat, Epiphone Les Paul, Squier Bronco Bass, Ibanez 12-string acoustic, an old AKAI analog synth with midi ports (and a ton of free soft synths I run it through) and soon to have a drum pad. I play them all, but am more of a multi-insturmentalist and not really great on any of them.

My tastes run the gamut - instead of genres I'll just list bands: Radiohead, Velvet Underground, Townes Van Zandt, Led Zeppelin, Hank Williams SENIOR, Patsy Cline, Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti, Iggy Pop/Stooges, The Doors, The Stones, The Beatles (of course!), David Bowie, Lou Reed, Camper Van Beethoven, Phish, Grateful Dead, The Black Keyes, Black Sabbath, Sonic Youth, The Carpenters, Ludwig Von Beethoven, Kraftwerk, Neu!, Can, PiL, Frank Zappa, Belle and Sebastian, Flaming Lips, Butthole Surfers, Cowboy Junkies, Nirvana, Screaming Trees, Mudhoney, Sleater-Kinney, Allman Brothers, Fishbone, Curtis Mayfield, Marvin Gaye, Al Green, Sam and Dave, Booker T and the MGs, Sly and the Family Stone, Bob Marley, Aswad....

And I could spend all day listing bands...

[zzaapp]

36. That's a great list !

I'm a Fender man myself. Strat, tele, old tele set up just for slide. I play thru a Dr Z Maz 38.

[Wait Wut]

25. Hey, there Zzaapp

I'm not a musician of any sort, but I married a blues piano player/singer and the 3 bands he plays with.

[zzaapp]

28. LOLOLOL

Aint it the truth? Did you know what you were getting yourself into ???

[zzaapp]

27. It sure is more friendly over here in the lounge.

[Joe Shlabotnik]

31. Hey, welcome.

I played guitar for years and generally played in classic rock and blues bands. But I had to sell off all my babies over the last few years though, because of tough times. I miss 'em.

[zzaapp]

32. I feel you

Like selling off your kids. Things WILL turnaround.

[Throd]

33. Blues/Punk guitarist here. I skipped the rock part. Welcome!

[zzaapp]

37. Hi Throd........what blues players do you like?

[Zorra]

34. Me.

[zzaapp]

38. VERY NICE !!!!!

Let's see if I can guess. Fender tele or strat thru either a Fender, vox, or Dr. Z amp. reverb on 6.

I can hear some Knophler in your playing.
Nice vocal too.

[MiddleFingerMom]

[MiddleFingerMom]

40. I used to sing in a band and when our first guitarist moved...

.

I taught myself to play (badly) so I could keep writing.

I LOVED playing (badly) though - four or five hours a day until I gave myself painful bursitis.
