Members Mercer Posted August 3, 2006 Members Share Posted August 3, 2006 Hey, so we can tell who plays classical guitar as well as the others stuff they play , add "classical guitar genre snob" to your signature. (if anybody has a better sig tag, let me know.) Oh yeah, post yer pics! (I don't have pics of mine, but it's a concert Navarro classical) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guitapick Posted August 3, 2006 Members Share Posted August 3, 2006 But...but...but...I'm NOT a classical guitar snob. I'm definitely a player, but I love Hendrix and Lowell George (among others), too. This is horrible, Mercer! I really want to be in a club on this site. And classical guitar's a nice distinction. I'm gonna try to think of another slogan and see what you think. Then again...we could really stretch it: "Charter Member of The Royal Academy of Classical Guitar Elitists" A bit wordy...but it gets the point across. Something along those lines?

Members guitapick Posted August 3, 2006 Members Share Posted August 3, 2006 You better keep your shades down when you're showing off those guits, riffmeister. Give me a while to get a pic of mine. What about my "slogan"? Don't be shy if you don't like it... I...sniff...can ta...sob..ke...it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Stackabones Posted August 3, 2006 Members Share Posted August 3, 2006 I'm a non-classical, non-flamenco nylonista! Got a couple of gut stringers: Takamine C132S, some of y'all call this a "real" classical; Alvarez AC60SC, cutaway ac/electr, use this at all my gigs lately; and a Lone Star Del Rio requinto, not a classical but it has nylons. Just got a Juan Martin flamenco book and having a blast trying not to spill Rioja on it. Confession: I do play classical pieces at weddings and while hanging around the house. But I think of it as fingerpickin' Bach. No pix yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mercer Posted August 5, 2006 Author Members Share Posted August 5, 2006 Let's go with Guitarpick's, it's less. . . genre-snobish. I'm not a snob either (i hope). I love rock, jazz, and blues along with classical guitar, and I just learned how to play the Hendrix version of Red House. My goal with that suggestion was to point out the common thing I've run across among classical guitarists I've met in person. I've met classical guitarists in the Young Artist concert program who have gone so far as to say that Hendrix could never play a classical song to save his life (no joke, real event!). . . . . . . . . . I'VE GOT IT!!! ahemm: "classical guitar, your cat-gut alternative since 1549" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I join anyway? well. . . ok, but only if you build a double-cutaway electric dobro with good fret access and a neck p90 for me:) just kidding (but if that's a possibility for not too much cash I'll take it) Originally posted by sirlionsandwich I can play Rumba Improvisado by Paco De lucia.

Members guitapick Posted August 8, 2006 Members Share Posted August 8, 2006 OK...I give up! I've taken a nice shot of my guitar up in Vermont and it's .jpg format. But when I try to get it on a post, I get that little blue box with a question mark on it. Help...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Stackabones Posted August 8, 2006 Members Share Posted August 8, 2006 Ali Farke Toure My favorite one by him. ! You've probably seen this before, but it's worth another look! Classical guitar? CLASSIC MALIAN GUITAR!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mercer Posted August 9, 2006 Author Members Share Posted August 9, 2006 Ok, so maybe Toure isn't the most classical of classical players, but I just figured that he's good so I'd post him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members guitapick Posted August 11, 2006 Members Share Posted August 11, 2006 Beautiful guitars, riffmeister. This one's been my companion for many, many years: And, just like, Freeman: I built that guitar out of the split logs you see in the background. I'm leaving for Vermont for a couple of weeks. Not much in the way of internet up there. Enjoy the rest of the summer, people! Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members riffmeister Posted August 12, 2006 Members Share Posted August 12, 2006 Originally posted by Stackabones That '56 ... mm mmm! Betcha the sound is something else. Yes, it is quite remarkable. Very warm and sweet but with great note separation. Also, very little effort is required in the RH to get a nice, full sound. Great guitar.......and quite collectible, too!

Members Kuhnfyoozed Posted August 12, 2006 Members Share Posted August 12, 2006 I have an old Yamaha G-65 (I think?) and its real fun to play. I'm mainly an electric player but I have been trying to learn some classical stuff. I've only been playing for a year or so so I have a long ways to go but I would love to play classical more proficiently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
