Hi all,

 

There is bound to be a good deal of guitarists signing up here at the TE fans' Social Network.

 

What kind of guitars are you playing, and more importantly, what tunes are you currently playing?

 

Have enjoyed Leo Kottkes - "Last Steam Engine Train" on my Martin DM for couple of days. Love this tune :-)

I've owned my takamine ef341c for 8 yrs now & currently working on T.E.'s " Stay close to me"

I have a Martin 000-28. I am playing and practising several of my own original tunes, plus Tommy's Angelina.

 

Just a small note...........for any guitarist who owns a maton EBG808 TE, on tommys main site someone was askin about how he could get is maton 808te shinny like tommys, as when bought, it as a satin finish, i have found that the only polish to to get a shinny finish ,was gibson pump polish, which i used, once you get it shinny....you can than use like tommy does, mr sheen or pledge, mine looks great at min. one other thing the zip bag he uses........is a levy EM20 S.

I have an early '70 Yamaha and a mid '70's Martin. I mostly play like I know what I am doing with them which is absolutely not true.

Hi all, I always keep 3 Taylor guitars busy. Two are John Denver Commemorative Models, 1 a Grand Concert (the standard one issued) the 2nd is a custom Jumbo model (very rare). Third guitar is Taylor-855ce, 12-string. I have my "kick around" small Mahogany Martin I keep with me each day. The last guitar is a jewel of a treasure from a luthier in Oklahoma, USA, who has made the best sounding guitar I've ever heard in 40 years of playing. I played my first guitar at 6 years old, this guitar outshines any I've played, and I've played hundreds. It's called a SWIFT, named after its creator. I have all of Tommy's DVD's and attempt to learn as much as I can from his instructional ones, but - alas - I'm really a singer who plays guitar, so I continue to sing my own originals, of course John Denver, "oldies" and any song with a beautiful melody and lyrics. -- Jens, this site is great!! Did I miss where you told us what guitar(s) you are using and what you are playing these days????

Annie dear, oh do i remember that sweet Jumbo that Tommy broke in for you. I think I remember he adjusted it right there and then, at the cruise to Mexico. Seems like you have got some great guitars. Who is the Oklahoma luthier? I am currently playing my relatively cheap but excellent Larrivee OM3R. It is a great guitar. In August 2007 I went to Austin, seeing my friend Monte Montgomery, who introduced me to Bill Collings of Collings Guitars, and I bought a sweet OM-2H. These two guitars are my main instruments. I also play an old battered Taylor 214 from time to time. Mostly playing originals. Will have to upload a few videos soon. However, am busy planning a trip to good old Denmark at the end of the month, so that is taking up some time as I need to get some work done first. Would be great to see some pictures of your guitars here Annie!

Get to work! 

 

As an answer, I got an acoustic/electric Ibanez (PF5ECE) and mostly I'm working on my own compositions and getting them recorded... plus, *Those Who Wait* is in the process of being "learned"!
