Been playing bass for over 3 decades. In fact, my band (Jeff Henry & The Necessary Evils) just recently released our CD called Watertown. It’s available on iTunes, Amazon, cdbaby.com, and soon on Spotify.

I've been taking guitar lessons for a couple of years and given my age, I'll probably never progress very far, but I enjoy the challenge, which I hope will help to keep my mind sharp as they years go by.

I don't actually "play" the guitar. But I have been trying to for years.

I'm only hampered by a complete lack of talent.

I’m a crappy bar band drummer at heart but I play a little bit... not really into the gear, I just have a little Martin I play around with. I’m also lefty so that doesn’t help with the gear aspect... especially when it comes to the things I like, I would love a 60s tele... I have been looking at Shur lately tho... they make some pretty awesome stuff

Been playing for years in several bands and enjoyed it. I have always been hampered by a lack of talent, but the audience always seemed to like it. Unfortunately I have a bit of arthritis in my fingers so much to the relief of musicians everywhere I now only play for enjoyment.

I’ve been a guitar student since spring of this year, taking lessons and actively practicing. I wish I would have made the same commitment sooner, it’s been incredibly fun and rewarding.

I have played for over a decade, and used to play a fair amount of shows every year, never made much. Now I just pick around the house when I get bored. I can really slay my rendition of Little Red Riding Hood.

I have some great guitars. I guess I'm better at collecting them than playing them.
