i'm so lazy when it comes to chords. i mostly favor minor chords as they don't require a fuck of a lot of effort and they kind of resonate.

gmku, if you have a Taylor, I'm surprised you have any issues at all with your guitar! Those things are nice.

Mine is my baby and my one true love. A 1994 710 with abolone in the fret board and around the soundhole. I adore it, truly. I just think I'm lazy when it comes to barre chords, plus I don't think they sound as nice as more open chords on any acoustic.

I mostly favor minor keys in general because they sound less sappy and anthemic than majors.
Edit:

gmku's guitar sounds very VERY nice.

It is. I just wish I were a guitar player more worthy of it. I'm completely self-taught, and I suck. But in spite of sucking, I still have fun.

No way man!
You're looking at it all wrong.
For the big fakeout press-sheet bio style puff-up, you refer to yourself as an "autodidact with a unique and personal vision and style."

That's the ticket!

i'd like to think i do pretty fucking good for the lack of effort i put in.

gmku	10.23.2006 05:00 PM

I wouldn't play if it took effort. The hell with that.

Cantankerous

10.23.2006 05:01 PM

i don't play leads either. to hell with THAT.

gmku	10.23.2006 05:03 PM

To hell with it ALL. I just like to sit with my arms around it and smoke a fag and play nothing at all.

I make up chords. Way easier.

I want that 12-string Lee is using on tour now. The thing with the onboard electronics. Fuck yeah.

Becuz they're possibly the most hideous guitars ever designed, perhaps?

The Les Paul studio model isn't bad though; it has a cutout on the backside for your ribcage and is much more comfortable than the standard.
Narita from High Rise has a double cutaway Les Paul Special that I like too. I like it because it sounds great and doesn't have that standard Les Paul body shape, which has never appealed to me much.

My feelings are similar with Les Pauls. I can't stand the regular fancy burst ones, but the Specials are alright. I had a yellow double cutaway les paul for a while until I traded it in for a P Bass. I miss it...the P90s on it were noisy but sounded awesome.
