Hey from kentucky,
My name is john. i am 14 years old and i live in southeastern kentucky. i have really picked up the guitar heavy these past few months because it really has put an interest in me. i have had a behringer starter pack for about two years but i wasn't really interested then. but since i saw what other people could do and what i could learn to do, i really got into it. . I also got lucky and found this awesome website so that helped encourage me even more when i saw all the kris and pavel and gabriel could do. recently i have bought a ibanez guitar and case with my money but i still have a behringer 15 watt amp. I am thinking about buying a zoom guitar effects processor. It has 2 amps tubes and 200 presets and 2 pedals. it is awesome. kristofer dahl i would like to say that you are a awesome guitar player and i hope to become as good as you one day. the brown and black guitar that looks weird, is awesome. you can do some pretty amazing stuff.when i see it it makes me look like this IThe rest of you teachers on this website have some awesome play too.(gabriel,pavel,and andrew for all of his great theory work.) i would like to say congrats to all the members like me because like me they chose a very awesome guitar website. i am just needin some 1 to talk or chat with. feel free to email me or anything. ill talk about anything espically guitar. I forgot to mention that i like some heavy metal and alot of hard rock(AC/DC, aerosmith,avenged sevenfold,steve vai,def leppard,deep purple,CKY,) and many other bands See Yall' later

spelled properly.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y'all

the issue of using this specifically as a plural salutation, or both plural and singular is interesting.

the spanish have usted, the germans sie. some say y'all can be used in the same fashion (both singular and plural formal), which makes sense to me. However, probably sound a bit silly with a Brooklyn accent. Then again, everything sounds silly with a Brooklyn accent.

That doesn't make sense to me, maybe I'm just being thick. Y'all is a contraction of you all, isn't it? The spanish usted is formal singular, ustedes is formal plural. How can Y'all be used singularly? How did we get on the topic of grammar on a guitar board?

i agree Jvm. how did we get started about grammar on guitar website.

Hi ibanez rocker! Welcome to GMC! I agree with that musician!

It has been used both for singular and plural historically. The different spelling of the two in Spanish is incidental. The German 'sie' is spelled the same way for both singular and plural. I would not call this a grammar question, i would call it more of a semantics question. So if you want to complain, complain about us getting started on the topic of semantics. As this is an introduce yourself thread and not a guitar topic thread, and the guy who started it misspelled the word, and not only that is from Kentucky where one should know better (the Texan did), i say fair game.
