I second that. You really have to "feel" your strum pattern. I've always had a tough time following instructions on how to strum. Use your ear and figure out what sounds best. Create your own version of the song. Have fun with it and if it sounds good to you that's good enough.

The rewards and frustrations walk hand in hand. I don't think this is related to how long you've been playing. Even the most accomplished players need inspiration once in a while. Like mentioned above, playing with more seasoned partners will help a bunch but can be discouraging too. For me, I always try to remember I'm playing because I love to play AND I play like me and only me. If you get discouraged, put it down for a day or 2 you'll be itching to pick it up by then. And it'll start all over again. Play because you love to play and it makes you feel good... it's a state of mind....IMO that's an accomplished player.

Red Sox fan here. It must be tough being a Mets fan...spending all of that dough and getting very little in return AND having to share a town with the Yankees....eeeehhhhhh.

I second the Sabine. I have an ST-1000. bought it in 1985. Still works great. What more could you ask for?

Like Doug says nothing is free. By now, I would hope most folks would be wise enough to avoid attachments on email, pop up offers and other obvious virus related stuff. I spent 10 years as an IT guy and it was always the same sort of user who got infected. Common sense goes a long way. Update the antivirus and the operating system and it'll all pass over.

Congrats on your victory. If your wife is anything lile mine, your celebration will be short lived

There are some fine sub 500.00 guitars on the market. Owning a Martin or Taylor is not nearly as important as owning a great playing guitar that fits you.

Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here. I could listen to Gilmour's work on Shine on You Crazy Diamond for a few years.

Lordy...that's some coin. I stick to my Takamines for that price. I'm not sure with my talent level I deserve a 5000 acoustic.

I think everyone has had a disturbing experience with customer service/call centers at one point or another. I'm not sure about overseas but here in the states, the decline of customer service and just plain old courtesy is in rapid decline. I will spend a few more dollars and patronize a place where the cashier says "thank you". When did people become so busy and self involved that they can no longer hold a door for someone?

In addition to their real purpose, we used them as projectiles to shoot from elastics. Did any one else? This was how we amused ourselves before pong came out!!!!!!! Damn I'm old.

But what if you could only have 1???? I say strat.
