Who has?
Just wondering how many of you have actually named your guitars? It’s something I’ve tried to do but I have a hard time with it not becoming weird or some overly complicated thing. So if you did. How did you go about it and what helps you in naming them? Sadly I have on named the one I made as the angel guitar because of the image in it.

Yes I like to name mine but you have to be careful when playing your guitar that you don't call it by another guitar's name because if you do you will be in big trouble.. 🙃😉😆

I got a Washburn jumbo About 20 years ago off of ebay and the first time I played it I thought. . that's not bad .. . so I named it Louise because they said Louise was not half bad.
AMBIENT DRONES
ONE OF MY EARLY ATTEMPTS AT MAKING AN AMBIENT DRONE AND THEN PLAYING OVER IT. MIDNIGHT MEDITATION.. PITCH SHIFTER, DELAYS, REVERBS, VOLUME PEDAL, SPIDER CAPO ON THE 12TH FRET ON THE HI E ,B, AND D STRING. LOW E, A, AND G STRING LEFT OPEN TO PLAY MELODIES BELOW THE CAPO. GUITAR IS HI STRUNG (THEN TUNED TO DADGAD) SO THE SPIDER CAPO ON THE 12TH FRET GIVES ME SUPER OCTAVES. ANYONE EVER PLAY WITH THE SPIDER CAPO??

@Mike Seaton thank you!!!
Pedalboard? Or not to Pedalboard?
I realize this can be a real point of contention, as we are all extremely passionate about our personal preferences, especially when it comes to our rig, tone, or feel. That said, Pedalboard or no pedalboard? If not, is there a particular reason? If so, comment a pic of your board and I'm particularly interested in any drive pedals that you typically leave always on.. Mine is the Klon KTR or Paul Cochrane's "Tim." Thanks much, and keep on rock'n!- 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥

I agree with Jeremy. Different effects can inspire creativity. like finding different colors to paint with. i get off on STEREO delays, reverbs, modulations.. practicing with the headphones gets me lost down the rabbit hole ..
How you learn?
Im wondering how did everybody learn to play? Did you have an actual teacher? Teach yourself? Do you learn by watching? Do you learn by tab? Me personally, my Stepdad taught me the major chords, and I watched him play some songs then I kinda just used tab and now use youtube lessons. Ive been playing 20 years or so, and can learn pretty much anything. But I know S**t about theory, scales modes ect. Haha

@Steven Bonds My cousin who taught me how to finger pick just passed away last Saturday. I have been finger picking for 57 years now and I could never begin to repay him

@Victor Penniman You have some serious credentials. You were blessed to grow up surrounded by music and learning different instruments.
Telecaster Project
I posted awhile back about a Telecaster I picked up. I’m starting its transformation. I’ve already put on Fender strap locks and Grover locking Rotomatics. Had Wilkinson tuners when I got It. Going to be installing a Seymour Duncan Lil 59 (Bridge) and Seymour Duncan P-Rails with Seymour Duncan Triple Shot Ring (Neck). Going to be upgrading electronics. CTS 500k Push/Pull (coil split bridge). The Triple Shot allows the P-Rails to act as a Humbucker (series and Parallel), Single Coil and P-90 modes. Then having my buddy Richard Flatt and Flatt Guitar do a custom laser etched wood Pickguard for it. He previously did the Guard and poker chip for my Les Paul. Just put in the order. Once I get the Pickguard the transformation will begin. This is a mocked up concept of final product. Whatcha think?
