Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

I've got a Yamaha cg101a, I just started like 2 months ago. Teaching myself chords and reading music, too poor for lessons.

I used to play trombone and barritone when I was younger and I was in couple of orchestras before.

Guitar for about 10 years and drums for about 9 years. Sounds like a long time but you couldn't tell if you heard me play.

Couldn't you just buy a regular Les Paul Junior and add a double coil pick up in the back?

Someone should make a thread where we can point to a link to our own music (previous for me). Like a link with a song... that would be cool. Clearly there are some musicians on here....

There's a been quite a few guitars in these hands throughout the years.

My favorite---USA strat---mid 90s era---with single soil EMG SA pickups. Played exclusively through tubes.

www.myspace.com/thedowntownfunkconnection check it out!!

Piano for 14 years, guitar for 8, bass for 6. Currently studying jazz performance at the university of toronto as an upright bass major.
I play a Ken Smith burner electric, modern Hungarian 3/4 flatback upright both through a GK MB150E. Had a gorgeous American strat that was my baby until I had to trade it for a bass....sad day. I'll post some pics later.

Well, despite my better judgement, I uploaded the only video of me playing guitar to youtube. It's mre ****ing around on my guitar at my fathers house after dinner.
