POLL & Discussion - Your Age, Social-media Presence and So On

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?

Just turned 41 in October. 80’s, 90’s and early 2000’s are what I know. I’m trying to stay with all the new stuff as it comes. ?

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.

11-20???
I wouldn`t alow my 11 years old being on this forum. Definitely this place is a bad influence for some that young

Ha ha…hilarious! I know what you mean. ?

33 years young. As someone else said earlier though, I feel much older lol I've always hated that phrase "You're only as old as you feel" really backfires for me. Need to start doing yoga and be more Jagger-esque!

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
