I assume I'm not the only amateur musician here, so yeah. Guitar talk go. Post your guitars, favorite songs to play, what you started on, your newest songs, etc.
My guitars.
Just today I received an acoustic from a friend. He was complaining that it sounded odd and gave it to me for safe keeping (and playing) while he uses another friend's acoustic. It's rather small, like, not the size I know an acoustic should be, but now that I put steel strings on it, and restringed it PROPERLY (unlike how he did it), it sounds fine.

Bought an electric guitar from a local store, came at a set with a real basic amp, solid state, tiny enough to keep on your belt. It was a real bargain, the set being half as expensive as the next electric guitar, and just as expensive as an acoustic.

The amp has almost NO distortion, so it's only got a real clean sound going for it, but I'm saving up. And yes, it's basically a Fender Stratocaster in design, but probably really low quality made by Behringer. The set seems to have been discountinued ages ago.
I've been playing for around a year and can play only really simple songs. Like..
Plain White Ts - Hey There Delilah
Ben Harper - Forever
Metallica - One
Metallica - Fade to Black
Three Doors Down - Kryptonite
Iron and Wine - Naked as we came
Random songs I can't remember right now.
I've been studying scales for a month now. Mainly minor and blues pentatonics, for now only Em and Am, but I'll learn the others soon enough.
K.
You guys?

A decade ago, I never thought I would be, at twenty-three, on the verge of spontaneous combustion. Woe-is-me.
