Topic: Hiatus

I've been traveling for two weeks sans guitar. By the middle of week two I was craving a guitar to play. I hope my time-off will prove to be beneficial.

Keep your chin up... the guitar probably misses you as much as you miss the guitar!  smile

Art and beauty are in the eyes of the beholder.
What constitutes excellent music is in the ears of the listener.

Re: Hiatus

Zguitar, don't get me started thinking about another travel guitar. I've owned three and each time I grow quickly disenchanted with the sound. I just sold my 2nd Martin LXM. I'm thinking about carrying a full-size with me. For this particular trip no guitar would have been prudent to carry along. The logistics were too cumbersome.

One down side o f being away from playing is that after playing several hours today my fingers hurt.

Re: Hiatus

Guitars are everywhere.  I went to Alaska a few years ago.  To get there, I had to take a charter plane into a town that doesn't have roads to it.  Then the owner of the inn where I stayed the first night picked me up at the airport and drove me to his inn by the lake.  The next day the lodge owners where I spent the rest of the week picked me up from the inn and drove me in a truck to a dock on the lake.  From there, I took about an hour long float plane ride to the lodge.  At the lodge, one of the guides let me borrow his guitar.  Musicians are like that.  I'll bet someone who you met with or worked with had a guitar somewhere among their stuff.

Re: Hiatus

Zurf,
Great story. And you are right about musicians. I'm sure I could find a guitar by asking around.
