Some of us are professionals. Some of us are retired. Some of us are just learning. Some of us just play because we enjoy it.
This is your thread - and it's not just for guitarists. I don't care if you play a kazoo. I want to hear it. I will listen to every submission of personally created work - and, if history is any predictor, other people will too.
So, grab your phone and guitar and record us something. Or, if you can do better recording that that, do so!
If you don't play and want to, ask questions. If you want more information, ask questions. If you want resources, ask questions.
By the way - I should start a "ping" list. If you're interested in being pinged, let me know and I'll add you to the list.

(I'm pretty sure I've forgotten some names and I've lost my list that I was keeping. If you want to be added, let me know.)
Addendum:
I'm sure I missed two usernames - please remind me so I can add it to this text file I copy out of. Also, you don't have to share music - you can just share the conversation.

Sounds like a fun one to play! Is that you singing? Much better than my singing

This is the guitar - the intonation is a bit out and the action is higher than it should be. I'm not going to mess with it. I am going to go down to Farmington and drop it off tomorrow. I should have it back by Wednesday. He's going to give it a good cleaning, tune-up, and do my truss rod adjustments.

So, it's not bad but not the best. It also took me a bit of practice to get my flamenco fingers on. It's pretty hard to go from one style of music to another.
I know you visited the thread, but am not sure if you got the link. You'd asked about flamenco a couple of weeks ago and I've been trying to get some done and uploaded. I really, really want you to be able to hear the guitar. It was handmade by a really great maker (I'll avoid advertising) and is such a brilliant instrument. It's the best example I have and I'm sorry that it's not quite right - but it's not terrible, so you can hear that.
And, yeah, I'd not played any flamenco in ages. So, it took some mental work to step into that style. It is surprisingly hard to transition from one style of playing to another. I should write a piece based on that.
Edit: Err... It seems I pointed you in the direction of that thread twice. I blame weed. My bad.

Dude, your playing is off the rails. Seems like you're good with any genre, just give you a guitar and you go! I love to put your stuff on in the background and let it go. It lowers my blood pressure.

No, not my vocals. LOL That's a guy named Dan. I was lead and playing a slide. I don't play a slide much. That's also a rarity, as I was playing a Telecaster. I only prefer a tele when I want a certain sound. Usually, I stick to my Les Paul and Strats. But, that song called for a tele.
