Dave Monk Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 When I was young I dreamed of being a guitarist. I practiced and practiced but I didn't have the gift. I saw this picture and it caught my eye. It reminded me of one of the greats shredding his guitar. I used poplar and finished with pre cat lacquer. oldhudson, Lucky2, bobscroll and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used poplar and finished with pre cat lacquer. the guy across from me shreds his guitar .i asked if i could watch to see how he does it.it hasn't happened yet.i do so much for these people but finally put a stop top it .nothing comes back when i need help.fix his car, build a stairs so they can get in there ware house.repair their garage door ,give them a electric saw so they quit borrowing mine along with a drill and bits and screw drive bits fo it .repair there micro wave on and on.enough is enough. lawson56 and Dave Monk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrappile Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 (edited) Very unusual pattern, turned out beautiful. I have to ask, what do you mean by "shred a guitar"? Is that when the performer breaks up there guitar at the end of a song? You talk about not having the gift, my son has practiced for years, sometimes hours a day. He has a travel guitar he takes with him everywhere, all over the world and practices. At almost 50 he still takes lessons when he can. His instructor tells him he just does not have a musical gift, gets that from me, but it does not discourage him, he keeps at it. He can play, but it certainly does not come natural. More mechanical. No matter to him he just keep on trying. I have great respect for him for doing it. Edited April 22, 2017 by Scrappile Dave Monk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordster Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Shredding a guitar is someone doing a solo part.Very fast playing. Metal bands do that type of playing. .all the leaves on Dave's guitar Represent all the different notes being played. Now that is my guess lol...love the guitar. DAVE, Cathy said you are right. ..I should raise my prices. .Then she said,that way I could take her out to dinner more.lol Dave Monk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shred guitar or shredding is a virtuoso lead guitar solo playing style for the guitar, based on various fast playing techniques. As long as your son enjoys it that's all that counts.

spirithorse Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Great work, Dave, I'd say the cutting is more relaxing than shredding but, I enjoyed seeing it. One of the bands I played in long ago opened for Dolly Parton. I was the lead vocalist in a lot of bands and play rythme guitar. Just a little bit of lead guitar. Mostly country and country/rock like Lynyrd Skynyrd. Thanks for sharing and God Bless! Spirithorse Dave Monk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
