One of the best guitarists I know still takes lessons from someone who isn't as good of a guitarist as he is.  He says it helps stimulate creativity, especially when he gets in a rut.  Plus, it gives you someone else to play along with.  I always like playing with someone who is better than me so I can learn from them and it encourages me to practice more.  Mainly so I don't embarrass myself.  Keep it up!

That was a stone jam.  Sounded a little "No Quarter" in the middle even.  

There’s always something to learn from an instructor. I still take lessons from time to time and don’t intend to quit.

I just quit lessons again...will admit they drive me out of gottdampt mind. Don't believe my playing will ever be where I want it to be.

The thing is that I'm in a place where my "give a shit" meter is tapering off.  I've played music all of my life and I've never really considered it "fun."  I loved it because I worked my ass off and was considered a good classical student.  That made my parents happy.  I won't go on.  I'm full on guitar and fuck the noise.  Have fun.  Get bent.  Turn it up.

Nope, not Asian.

The loss of the give a shits is probably the coolest thing about getting older.

As near as I can tell, there are 2 kinds of guitar players in the world. Those with kick ass Flying V's and those without. I just flipped to the other side. Trust me, it's way cooler over here. [emoji41][emoji41][emoji41][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

 

Presenting my new-to-me 2007 Gibson Flying V '67RI!

 

Bought it from a Guitar Center in LA after finding it on the used gear section of their website. Guy on the phone said it had to o major issues or damage other than ordinary wear. I swear its like brand new. Hell, even the case looks brand new. I can't even find any signs of buckle rash. This will pair nicely with my black Explorer '67RI.

Awesome.  Flying V's are like taking a porn star to prom.  I'm not actually sure what that means, but I'm sticking with it.

Damn, AUTF. I was certain you were joining me in the Firebird club. I guess that V will do though... [emoji41]

Get out of my mind. I’m the one that left the Gilmore/Diaz comment.

I think I called it first. What do I win?

You got + rep from me when you did. Jeez, what else do you want?

How about another picture of me and my V?

Speaking of Albert. I didn't realize the V he played throughout most of career was an original '58 korina that he'd bought new, or newish.

 

Pretty sure that's it in the posted pic.

Let’s be more specific: Coast to Coast and Another Piece of Meat played Michael Schenker style.

Does yours actually work? I’m beginning to have my doubts. Pic looks shopped.

Much respect to Steven Seagal.

I'll record something when I get it to the practice space where I can crank it through the Super, or maybe through my friends Dual Rectifier stack that's in there. A guitar like this isn't meant to played at apartment levels and frankly I'd be embarrassed to introduce you to her like that.

No worries man. Look forward to it

That moment when homeboy stands up cause you can't sit through what's about to happen. And Tom Herman on drums knows he's witnessing something.

I have a cheap guitar that I’m going to sell as I do not foresee the time needed to dedicate to become even a beginner at this point. Oh yeah, got this when I was about 10, and even though I spent a lot of time back then, I couldn’t pick it up. Any of you have an idea of what this would be worth? I know it isn’t much but cleaning out the garage.  ETA: pretty sure it would need pickups and has a few ding.

That gold top w/P90's needs a new address.....

If they can get the quality under control I may have to get one of these

Is 1989 way off for a manufacture date?

Why would it need new pickups?

No idea, I tried to look it all up and just got lost.  I would have gotten it (second hand) in 93-94 iirc.  The paint job would certainly suggest so  

Wrt: pickups. I plugged it in and it didn’t do shit really. I’ll play around a bit more and see if I can adjust everything out or if they are really toast. I just have a cheap little Crate amp (new in 93-94) that internets said is about $15-25 now. 

Edited by fattyflattie

If those are active pickups there may be a dead battery involved.  I'll defer to the shredders around here -- I've never owned a guitar with active pickups.  But, it would surprise me greatly if the actual pickups were dead.  It would be far more likely that there was a loose or open solder joint in the output jack, or a dead battery trying to feed the pickups, or . . . ?

Yeah I don’t know anything about it. I just figured some on here with a true passion for guitars would know something, even about the cheapos. 

I can't believe you guys didn't mention the "bolt ons."
