Are we players here? Listeners? Guitar aficionados? Builders? Something else?

I’ve been playing guitar for about 25 years, jazz guitar for probably 20 of those, doing a mix of gigging and just jamming (not teaching per se myself but I’ve enjoyed working with teachers to organize jam sessions to create a fun environment for students to learn in). Lately I’ve been getting into woodworking as a hobby and I’ve been working on building a guitar for myself, too.

What’s your jazz guitar experience like?

    At the moment, not. I’ve always been a fan of Jazz, so I have a goal, learning to play it.

    I’ve just digged out the Bass (Ibanez) and guitar (a frankenfender and an acoustic) that I bought years ago and never mastered and I’m trying to learn how to play,with at the moment the bass as main focus point (less strings) to learn how to play, fret, mute and even basics as to hold it so I don’t overstretch my wrists.

    After this, I’ll dig out a trumpet, French horn, my synths and maybe even fix up the clarinet I have and try to get some music out of it.
