I play mine when I'm bored.

I live in a place far far away, where on occasion the telly tubbies will come to play....and that's when Ma gets out the shotgun. Damn critters climb in our gutter system all the time.

what da fuck do you mean a green day song? I am offended sir! actually I am really into guitar and I play shit like The Mars Volta and Zeppelin and I write my own shit so don't you be taking me for some middle school punk who bought an electric guitar and plays nothing but MTV songs to be cool. Dat shit is unprogressive. I just play when Im bored cause...well you know. Sometimes you're amped to play electric, or sometimes you're amped to play acoustic. Latley I've been amped to play electric but my electric guitar is at my mom's house and Im always busy while Im there so all I really get to play for now is acoustic.

I'm actually playing my guitar right now. A minimum for me is about 3 hours, and if I'm jamming with friends, or have nothing to do, I'll go for 8 hours.

^exactly the same with me. back when I posted my first comment a few days ago I wasn't really amped to play. But now I've picked up "Space Oddity" by David Bowie and just playing his stuff while singing while no one is around.

yeah except Epiphone has nicer wood materials and such, while Gibson has nicer inner materials and such, thus giving Gibsons a better tone, but not much. They are both very sick though.

well put....and also gibsons are 100% hand made...however epiphone are only aout 85%...so there is more of a mechanical error with epiphones due to the fact that machiones have assembled most of the guitar...i absolutley love epiphones though

im usually at half a step down cause a bunch like hendrix and i think clapton played usually at that, it also allows for easier bending than regular tuning

I play 3 or so hours a day, but my Taylor is coming this week, so that'll go up by ALOT once I get that. The 6 string, standard tuning. The 12 string, drop D tuning.

I actualy play a lot of guitar, kinda take a bit more seriously then before. Into making playing heavier shit in drop c, jam with buddies. I jam around with a buddy on drums too and hoping to get a band going soon.
