Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!  80's music stinks out loud?????? I have to whole heartedly disagree. There has not been a music revolution of that magnitude since Elvis and the Beatles. Whether is was hair bands, new wave, or rap, the 80's changed music forever. I grew up on 80's music so I am a little biased. Up until then it was going downhill. I mean the 70's was very music challenged. Since then we're spiraling down again. since the 90's I've had a very hard time finding new popular music I like. It's time for another music revolution.

Taylor, like Zurf and MKM said, it's normal. Your tastes will change with age. As you get older you will learn to appreciate music instead of just enjoying it. You'll travel down lots of different roads on the musical journey. I think blues is where it's at. The soul that is put into the blues is just amazing. Funny, I still love my 80's hair bands tho. Don't worry about your tastes changing. Just sit back, hold on, and enjoy the ride. Explore the music.

I tend to switch off each day. One day I'll play lots of songs from my songbook, starting with the ones I know best and ending with the ones I have recently added. Then the next day I will practice the new songs I'm learning, or some blues scales. The next day is back to my songbook. I think I do this for a couple reasons.
1) I need to keep it fresh so I don't get stuck in a "I have to practice this stuff again" rut.
2) I hit the songbook to make me feel like I actually know what I'm doing.

I try at least once a week to play thru my entire songbook. Which at this point is only 19 songs. I try to spend 1 hour, 5 days a week practicing. Sometimes I only get 1/2 hour in or only 4 days. But I will never miss more than 3 days of playing/practicing. That is a rule I stick by no matter what.

Dm that is awesome. Now do you see what all your time and effort practicing has led to? All these years you've had an itch, which built into a passion for the guitar. God knew it and now has called you to serve him with your talent. But just because you think you've made it, don't close your ears. He may have an even greater calling for you.(Music leader maybe??) We must remember that He will open doors when He is ready. Not just when we want it to happen. So, congrats on the new endeavor and remember where it all came from.

Dead, yes the large pocket will hold a 3/4" binder very nicely. The other 2 pockets are really just slits with zippers. The smallest is filled up with a tuner, capo, and picks. The middle slit will fit sheets of paper only, no binder. I'm not sure what else you would put in it. Boxes of strings would fit nicely too. Anything flat would fit the middle one just fine.

Hope that helps!!

That's the first song I learned to play toots.  Very simple slow tempo song. Check that one out for sure Tony. And it's a classic so you can't go wrong. There are lots of video lessons on it too.

Grandpa Elliot was awesome!!!!

Congrats on the F chord Steph. That one is the easiest I think, so it gets harder from here.

Action refers to the distance between the strings and frets. High action means there is alot of space between the two and you need to push the strings farther to contact the frets. High action makes a guitar more difficult to play. So low action is just the opposite. The strings are closer to the frets. Less distance to push the strings, less hard on your fingers, and faster chord changes. If you take your guitar to a good luthier he will be able to set it up for you.

You are right. We should be encouraging. Hollie, whatever you need to get you playing is what you should do. If it's your thing, then by all means go for it. In the end we are all trying to better ourselves on this funny shaped box with strings.

But......
I don't think we're knocking her really. We just don't understand. I myself think JB has no talent. Just in the right place at the right time.

Roger has it right. I just had my guitar worked on last week. First he loosened the truss rod bcuz the neck had a little too much bow to it. The he filed the nut a little bit and then shaved off some of the bridge. Truss rod is not for lowering action.

The label says Wild Cherry, Maple, Spruce, Rosewood. So, I guess it's a spruce top. How do i know if its a laminated model or not?
