Those are cool!!!!!!!! I have always eyed those sort of things and talked myself down. I keep thinking "I can hardly play these guitars!!". My kids would love them too and your wife must be a saint! If it were me I'd be doing a cover of Little Feat's Spanish Moon. Those were MADE for that!!!

I too am challenged. It seems the harder I try or the worse it is. My advice is relax a few beers/drinks (or whatever you fancy) is helpful. Not too many though as thent he fret work gets sloppy. Metronome helps too as everyone eludes to above. Drum machine is fun too.

I've always sung the praises of Elixir Nanos. I recently bought EXP's for my electrics and I'm kind of liking them.....Nanos don't seem to lkast as long as they used to ot maybe I'm just playing more. My complaint is mostly price. You can get some swinging deals on multi packs but never with Elixir. I might be switching. On the elctrics, I think EXP's sound better.

I guess that's why my wife is so happy all the time

Dark Side of the Moon; Sgt Pepper both for different reasons

Very touching lyrics. Top notch...lost my dad a few years back, I can certainly relate. Thanks for sharing.

Black Crowes...although they seem to get along fairly well. Kinks???

I'd say change 'em once a month or so on a couple hrs a day...maybe even a little more often. As you get more into it you'll be able to tell when they need changing; they get flat or dull (for lack of better words). If you're having trouble with a particular string always fraying or breaking this may be a sympton of another problem. You may want to look at the nut (thing the strings pass through before the headstock). If it's not smooth sometimes that'll cause a string to wear or fray prematurely. Just a thought. It's OK to change just one....no law against it but it seems alamost as much effort to change one as all so you may just want to change 'em all.

I always hated pulling out the bridge pins. My little bit of advice is buy a good, expensive bridge pin puller, Makes a world of difference

I too was recently made aware of his work. He is right up there with John Prine IMO

your good guitar is the one that feels good in your hands.
