I sold my strat (it was a grey eric clapton model) .I used the money for a gibson. I dont regret the gibson but do miss the strat. one day I will have another strat

fender verses gibson.....tough call.....srat verses sg...... easy call in my book. I find the sg top heavy and not at all comfortable while the strat fits perfectly with your body. the maple neck has a real nice touch (my preference s compared to the rosewood neck)
one can get that harder edge wth a strat if you want but you cant get that strat sound from an sg. dont get me wrong I gave up my strat for a gibson. but it was not the sg

I have been trying to master slide for years now, it is the most fustrating apect of the guitar that I have ever delt with. I am a bit hard headed and insist onlearning in standard tuning. I guess that may be part of the reason it is so frustrating. Anyway I keep practicing and i guess i am slowly getting better (emphesizing slowly) what I find is that it is like body surfing sometimes i can catch the wave and at other times just cant seem to get it no matter what. but when I do get it...I love it

could someone pleasetell me

although I did not start playing right away I believe it was after watching the beatles on the ed sullivan show. I was about 7 years old but I knew one day I would take up the guitar

for me the most easy flowing stuff to just throw out a lead to is any kind of blues. but thats just me

there is by no means anything wrong with my guild and I will hang on to it for life. It's just that there is this mystic if you will about owning a martin at least  among martin owners that I seem to keep hearing about. and the ones that I have tried all seem to live up to the hype.

sounds to me like you guys really know how to have a good time. I am kinda new to where I live now and unfortunetly have not had the chance to hook up with any jammin buddies that are in the same ability range as me. but if I were starting some songs in the kitchen I would have to start with some easy 3 chord rockabilly beat like mystry train/ thats all right and into rock this town then maybe some crossroads then pehaps allman bros one way out.... then the beatles dont let me down, how about some more clapton with layla and then robert Johnsons walkin blues then james taylor version of how sweet it is to be loved by you...how many is that....ah whos counting   I always enjoy jack johnson ...how about  wishin waiting  need some regge..bob marley... I shot the sheriff

another thing, one of my fun things to do is to go to music stores and sample different guitars. One fact that I have come to realize is that its hard to beat the sound of a jumbo body acoustic guitar

I also need some work done on my prized acoustic. I found this guy scott mac donald. I beleive he is really good. I dont think he is cheap.

you would have to ship your guitar to have him fix it

yo ...guess I can safely say I fit into the old timer catagory.. I will be 50 at the end of the month

but I still feel like a kid

although I dont go there anymore. ( i am merried now) you got to admit and you cant deny and you got to love it.... the guitar is a chick magnet.
