Message: [QUOTE="8893, post: 3246887, member: 93"] Go to this exhibit at the Met (ends October 1): [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.metmuseum.org/exhibitions/listings/2019/play-it-loud[/URL] One of the features is a room with four flat screen TVs above the complete rigs of four different guitarists: Eddie Van Halen, Keith Richards, Tom Morello and Jimmy Page. Each artist gives a five-minute or so interview describing his rig and how he came to play guitar the way he does. As you might imagine, there are as many approaches as there are guitarists, and Tom Morello in particular gives good insight on the amount of practice it took him to "catch up" because he started playing much later in life than the others; but he also talks about how he created different sounds with his unique approach. They are each fascinating imo. Keith is hysterical. The entire exhibit is probably 80% guitars, with some epic, historic pieces from all of the biggest names. If that doesn't inspire you, nothing will. There is also a lot of other interesting stuff there. Plan to spend around two hours, and try to get there within the first half hour that it is open to avoid peak crowd times. Listening to and seeing music is probably my greatest hobby, and all my life people around me told me I should learn to play an instrument. I got an acoustic guitar around seventh or eighth grade and took lessons, and I practiced a bit but not enough. I grew tired of practicing and have rarely picked it up since, and I've since concluded that I love being a fan and a listener, but that doesn't mean I would love playing. I still think about it though; more often these days I think I'd try piano if I do it again. tl;dr: Practice, practice, practice Good luck! [/QUOTE]
