Originally posted by drewhiggins:Talk about benefits!!! I can play little songs, nothing remotely amazing, but still just coming up with a few chords and making up lyrics as you go. I think the first song I ever learnt was Smoke On The Water (which supposedly everyone learns for the first time).

I always wanted to play like Slash like on the MTV 1995 performance - with that awesome top-hat from November Rain.

I'm not that amazing either, I never took a guitar class, and all I know how to play I have learnt from my spare time, the internet and my ears

Thanks, Johnny

Originally posted by drewhiggins:That guy in my avatar (Buckethead) is a brilliant guitarist. I think since 1998 he's recorded over 150 albums.

Originally posted by LikeASong:I've checked that Buckethead guy and... lol he plays fantasticly (scent of Red Hot and Led Zeppelin I smell there?) but I think I will have nightmares with the guy itself. He kinda scares me with that mask, and the KFC bucket on his head is not funny but scaring too...

Originally posted by drewhiggins:Buckethead himself looks creepy - but he no longer wears the bucket specifically with FUNERAL written on it. But the stuff he comes up with - is magnificent.

He actually recorded a few tracks with Guns N Roses (or what's left of it) for Chinese Democracy in 2006 and 2007 - which I think maybe one or two made it on the final record. He left, supposedly, because he wanted to record inside a chicken coop. That's a sign of a complete nutter.

Probably it's been around one album per month, or 16 on average a year - and sometimes releasing up to 13 in one shot. While GnR can only release one in 15 years.

And this is me with my fake shitty Stratocaster (really similar to a big piece of stinky crap )

Originally posted by WojBhoy:As a fellow guitar nut, I'm appalled that you posted a pic of Edge playing WOWY with a custom Squier whilst talking about the Fenders he uses to play Streets lol...

Originally posted by LikeASong:[..]I knew it was WOWY (I didn't know it's a Squier, in fact I don't know how to get the difference between a Strat and a Squier unless I have them on my hands ), but I just couldn't find any image of Edge playing Streets...

PS. Isn't WOWY played with an infinite guitar??
