I thought it might be cool if everyone who plays guitar had a place to discuss such things like what songs their playin, their favourite guitars, tips for maintenance etc.

To start off I have a Maverick F-1 Ultraviolet Limited Edition and I am currently learnin Cemetery Gates by Pantera and Skin 'O My Teeth by Megadeth

I recently took up the bass guitar (for concert band, yeah kind of weird), I'm getting jaw surgery and I can't play a wind instrument for about 10+ weeks, which is half of my band term. So far it's was really easy to learn the fret board, but a bitch to play in the bass clef.

When I'm not playing band music. I tend to jam with a drummer, with some minor-pentatonic basslines with some funk rhythms. The bass I use is a piece of crap (a squire?) the school owns, but it does get the job done. Generally I know nothing about Guitars, but alot about music, so I figure I'm going to reinvent.

As far as songs when I'm jamming, sometimes I segue into some basslines, I try to learn some Jamiroquai, Death From Above 1979 songs are easy and fun, sometimes it's fun to throw out a Beck bassline, "Cellphone's Dead" (from his new album) is so simple, but so damn effective.

Anyway, that's that. My love affair with the bass may continue well after my mouth heals.

some of the best songs are acoustic

Almost all of the songs i can play well, are acoustic, but iv started learning Electric ones now i have an electric to play them on.
I'm past that stage where chord changes prove difficult, and now can more or less learn all the songs i want. Im Currently trying out the proper version of Dani California, Some of Fruciante's mini riff's here and there are a bugger to play!

Edit, i just learnt the solo from Smells like teen spirit =] Any one know how i can get that wah/reverb/distortion sound like Curt Does? Im using a behringer vtone gmx 110 if that helps.
