Your Favourite Guitar (1 minute videos)

thegummy

Is anyone up for taking their current favourite guitar and filming a few riffs for a 1 minute video?

Would be an interesting change from just posting a photo, we'd get to hear the guitar too and things can look different in a video.

I'd happily do one too but since I've only been playing a couple years I'd be a bit self-conscious to post one right up in case no one else is in to the idea.

Sounds like a laugh. I only picked up electric again earlier this year, but I'll give it a go

And I just broke my high E string. Feck sake

Is that the universe trying to stop you? lol :P 

I filmed mine and will post it as soon as someone else posts one first. Just nervous about criticism as I'm sure there are plenty of great guitar players on here and I'm far from it (yet, at least).

The weird thing I find whenever I'm recording - I can play riffs perfectly with no mistakes for hours on end when I'm just practising but as soon as I know it's recording it takes about a dozen takes!

Ach, just post your video up. We all had to start somewhere. If it makes it any easier, I've been playing for 30 years and I'm still shit.

lol I will post it the second another one goes up - I just don't want to be the only one

This is an old video, but still my number one guitar. Sorry about the camera mic being a bit crap.

HaHa - me too!

My favourite guitar is really quite nice. I’d be doing it a terrible disservice by recording myself playing it..

I think we get the idea, though!

This could be good cos when I nurdle in the back bedroom I reckon that I sound and play like Janick Gers.......but I'm sure you lot on here will tell me otherwise.

Yup. Between this and the R7 suggestion in the R8 thread I'm getting GASsy...

it's funny as when my guitar journey started the one thing I was sure of was I didn't want a goldtop - I thought bursts were lush and goldies were for old giffers.

then I realised bursts are fragile, (a lot of people are fernickety about the smallest mark and I'm not the lightest on kit), this came up on eBay and just caught my eye, I still love it. I think they look great with a little wear and tear. bursts are over for me.

Lovely! I've tried a lot of LPs in the last couple of years, and come close to buying a couple. I like a good burst, but I'm in india kid at heart, so not sure they're very "me". Goldtops, on the other hand, are reeeeal purdy

The video looks great but I’m not getting any audio with it. Am I missing something?

Me neither. Nice looking guitar though!
