How Old are Ya Guys?

65, almost 66. Been playing since I was 10, in bands since 13....although not lately because I have bad arthritis in my fretting hand, so I can't be depended on everyday. But I play and "try" to record whenever I can. Bottom line, I get along better with everyone when I am alone

41 .. I always loved '70s rock and roll. I got into punk and hardcore in the '90s early 2000s. Now I pretty much enjoy alternative rock
59, a "freeze dried" late 70's classic rocker with real tube amps., fuck modulars and SS amps.
Started playing Bass at 19 then a few years later switched to guitar because most guitarist at that time was switching to poser metal playing leads faster than a typewriter.
I learned then and still believe, it's what you say on guitar not how fast you can play scales.

I'm 10 years older than you but didn't get into guitar (amps really) until about 15 years ago.

This is my first post here. I wanted to post in the Classifieds looking to buy something, but it says I don’t have sufficient privledges or something. What do I have to do to gain access?

Welcome Jordon. Like the Rule says, you have to have 50 posts in the forums in order to Buy Sell Trade or PM. That is to protect our members. We've had some pretty good Bots lately as well as hacked accounts and your general scammers. The idea is for you new people to contribute first. And not just post "Cool" 50 times
You'll get there soon enough
