We've put together this collection of awesome rock guitar pictures. Keeping pictures of your favorite rock guitars around will remind you to practice as much as you can, and when practicing becomes difficult, (which happens to everybody, beginner and advanced), it helps to keep you focused on achieving your goals.
Keeping rock guitar pictures around is a creative motivation. There's a lot to be said about the powers of visualizing what you want, as long as you back it up with action. Imagine it, practice it, play it.
RIGHT Fender Jaguar model, originally developed in the 1950s. BELOW Video: Nice playing on a Fender Stratocaster!!
LEFT: This looks like a large violin but it's a Hohner bass, and fans of Paul McCartney may recognize it as the bass he played when a member of The Beatles. The Hohner bass is a hollow-bodied bass. It gives a softer tone and the sound is more similar to that of an acoustic bass than an electric bass.
RIGHT: Fender Jazz Bass. We prefer Fender jazz basses over any other we've played. Played on a 150-watt Fender Bassman amp.
RIGHT
A Gibson SG solid-body electric. One of the mainstay electric guitars in the world of rock. The SG rocks hard and loud and is preferred axe of many rock guitar masters.
LEFT
A blond Fender Telecaster, also a heavyweight in the world of rock. The Telecasters and Stratocasters issued in the late 1940s. The Telecaster has many models, including the Nashville, which is preferred by country western players for its distinctive twangy effect.
RIGHT
This is a Les Paul model electric guitar. Known for its versatile sound the Les Paul is played in virtually any type of music: rock, jazz, country. It was developed and named after Les Paul, one of the early pioneers of the electric guitar who helped popularize it in the late 1940s.
RIGHT This beautiful Gibson jazz model has what are called "F holes" in the top, allowing for a smooth acoustic effect.
LEFT These are six different rock guitars. Just for fun, see if you recognize any of these models. We definitely see Les Paul and Explorer type models in this group.
A few of our own guitars
This is an Ibanez Talman TCY-10 acoustic-electric guitar. We really love this guitar. For its small size and ease of handling, it packs a punch in volume whether it's plugged in or not.
Here's our one and only 12-string: an old but good Yamaha.
This is not a classical 12-string guitar - it's a "bajo sexto," or "conjunto". Its purpose is to add bass and rhythm to traditional south-of-the-border music.
