Something new

[ksmith]

And today I brought home my guitar instructor's spare acoustic, which I used today during my first classical lesson. The first few lessons will be spent on the right hand only, learning various picking/strumming techniques. If this works out, I will be on the lookout for an acoustic-electric built along electric lines--narrower neck, cut-out to allow for easier reach of the upper (lower?) part of the fretboard. Steel or nylon strings? Nylon sounds softer, but I'd go with steel if the guitar met the size/cut-out specs.

I don't need a premier guitar at this point. I have to keep telling myself this.

Poor Spike, my Peavey Falcon. He won't be cased forever, but I don't think I'll be playing him for a while.

Good for you. I think you will like the technique and the sound.

Guitar shopping can be fun too. :-)

I just bought my first 12 string, a week ago Sunday. So now I get to learn how to deal with all those extra strings. I don't expect to ever play well enough for an audience. I just want to play well enough for me.
