playing guitar and drums

does playing drums effect guitar playing?

I would say that it makes your timing a hell of a lot better. Coz I play a little drums, n it has made my timing a lot better.

and the drumming has improved the guitar playing alot!

A bunch of famous guitarists started out playing drums, and they all said it helped their timing a lot. For example, Eddie van Halen used to play drums and his brother Alex played guitar. Then at some point they switched. And I mean, c'mon, Eddie van Halen. Also, I think Jack White said he started out as a drummer. And...that's all I can think of, really.

Don't forget Dave Grohl :P

*Edit*

Ohw, and me too, soon! A friend of a friend of my sister is a drummer and he'd LOVE to teach us how to drum (well)! WEEEEEEEE!!!

My favorite style of acoustic guitar... there is a local guy named Michael Kelsey that I go watch every chance I get.. he gets nuts with it. He loops a lot...

I've been playing "percussive acoustic"/"slap acoustic" for a few years now... ever since I started listening to Jack Johnson, Jason Mraz, and John Mayer, and Michael Kelsey... BTW... Michael Kelsey won Guitar Centers Guitarmageddon 2 years ago with an acoustic guitar. Google him, he has a website and you can watch some clips of him... and check out his music.
