i just saw the new swede and it looks really bad. i love lll though, i wish i had one

Cantankerous · 10.23.2006, 04:50 PM

i'm so lazy when it comes to chords. i mostly favor minor chords as they don't require a fuck of a lot of effort and they kind of resonate.

gmku, if you have a Taylor, I'm surprised you have any issues at all with your guitar! Those things are nice.

Mine is my baby and my one true love. A 1994 710 with abolone in the fret board and around the soundhole. I adore it, truly. I just think I'm lazy when it comes to barre chords, plus I don't think they sound as nice as more open chords on any acoustic.

I mostly favor minor keys in general because they sound less sappy and anthemic than majors.
Edit:

gmku's guitar sounds very VERY nice.

Cantankerous · 10.23.2006, 04:52 PM

that too.

It is. I just wish I were a guitar player more worthy of it. I'm completely self-taught, and I suck. But in spite of sucking, I still have fun.

Cantankerous · 10.23.2006, 04:56 PM

i also tend to favor shitty guitars. shitty guitars and minor chords.
rock the fuck on.

No way man!
You're looking at it all wrong.
For the big fakeout press-sheet bio style puff-up, you refer to yourself as an "autodidact with a unique and personal vision and style."

gmku · 10.23.2006, 04:58 PM

That's the ticket!

Cantankerous · 10.23.2006, 04:59 PM

i'd like to think i do pretty fucking good for the lack of effort i put in.

gmku · 10.23.2006, 05:00 PM

I wouldn't play if it took effort. The hell with that.

Cantankerous · 10.23.2006, 05:01 PM

i don't play leads either. to hell with THAT.

gmku · 10.23.2006, 05:03 PM

To hell with it ALL. I just like to sit with my arms around it and smoke a fag and play nothing at all.

Danny Himself · 10.23.2006, 05:26 PM

I make up chords. Way easier.

I want that 12-string Lee is using on tour now. The thing with the onboard electronics. Fuck yeah.

GeneticKiss · 10.24.2006, 12:31 AM

Becuz they're possibly the most hideous guitars ever designed, perhaps?

The Les Paul studio model isn't bad though; it has a cutout on the backside for your ribcage and is much more comfortable than the standard.
Narita from High Rise has a double cutaway Les Paul Special that I like too. I like it because it sounds great and doesn't have that standard Les Paul body shape, which has never appealed to me much.

My feelings are similar with Les Pauls. I can't stand the regular fancy burst ones, but the Specials are alright. I had a yellow double cutaway les paul for a while until I traded it in for a P Bass. I miss it...the P90s on it were noisy but sounded awesome.
