Hey! Guitar players, let's chat.

Cool, nice to see so many guitar players on here, heres a pic I took of my gear whilst I had it all at home, excuse the floor, we had to remove the carpets before re-decorating, id take a new one, but most of my gear is in our practice room atm.

Good gear!

I'm writing a song called "Hallowed Be Thy Portage" I hope the Gentoo poem is GPL'ed. It's going to be brutal death and totally not audible!

I don't know about you guys, but I've really been digging al di meola's style of music right now. he takes acoustic to the next level . and I'm really just getting tired of all these speed freaks going as fast as they can without implementing good music.

Thanks for that, visited the website and listened to some samples. Contemporary jazz style, mixed with what appeared to be some Spanish/flamenco influence..

The Casino era electric tone was as good as it gets. Definitely one of my favourites.

I'll post my equipment list because i am bored.

Hamer Standard
Ibanez RG570
Guild Burnside "The Lance" (think RRV)
Ibanez acoustic of some sort (cant remember the model)
Silvertone S11 strat knockoff which is actually really nice
Some random Cort Les Paul
and some random Eagle Les Paul

15w silvertone practice amp
30w Crate practice amp (although i use it mainly for bass)
200w Tubeworks combo amp
Marshall ministack (the belt-clip kind of amp)

Line6 PODxt Live (go buy one, its sweet)
Crappy behringer multi-fx

Non-Guitar related stuff:
300w Carvin bass amp combo
Danelectro 4 string bass (glitter purple!)
^those are technically my dad's, but i use them more than he does
Pearl drum set, the low-middle range one
some ancient banjo
a mandolin from a place no one has ever heard of

The funny part is i am the only musician in my family.
My dads friend just got a LP Goldtop deluxe today. It is freaking sweet. He got is as a 'blem,' but theres just a really tiny inconsistency in the paint next to the neck. They took $600 off for the blem, so he had to buy it.

awesome gear guys. right now I just have a Dean Flying V with a broken Crate MX65R 65W combo amp ( a very good one that I'm working on fixing myself . . . )

[Pancetilla]

Has anyone successfully gotten Guitar Pro to install in wine? I got it installed, but when it opens up it gives me some error code in french and doesnt work. TuxGuitar is ok, but it doesnt work with half of my gp5 files.

I got it installed, but I didn't have any MS fonts installed, so it used its own font, which is the musical notation, meaning all the menus were unreadable...
