New guitar
« on: May 08, 2004, 05:43:44 PM »
I got my new guitar today!



:love:

What isn't immediately apparent from this picture is how beautiful it smells, feels and how awesome it sounds.

Also, now that I own two guitars I have no excuse for being crap at playing them. ;-) Which is good, because I can hardly put this one down. I actually stopped and played for ten minutes or so in the middle of this post.

It's a Tanglewood with rosewood sides, neck and bridge, and a solid soundboard. It was also quite cheap (in the good way - ie. I got a good deal), and Uncle Neil (that's the name of the shop, and presumably the guy who runs it) let me have a case for it for free (we didn't have enough money to buy one, and in fact had to go to the travel agents to exchange some old euros just to scrape the cash together for the guitar!)

(Don't laugh at my chintzy sofa, it was free okay? :-D)

Yeah :-)

I actually really wanted nylon strings, because my stepdad's classical guitar sounds so nice, but when I first heard this one (and couldn't see what strings it had) I actually thought it had nylon strings. It just has some of the the sound that I associate with nylon strings, I suppose. Anyway, it sounds good. :-D

Pity i didn't start earlier.


I totally sympathise with that, kids have so much more spare time to practice. I'd kill to go back and take some lessons when I was nine, (the age one of my old friends started, he plays well) everything I've "learnt" has been from pure experimentation. I'm thinking of taking a few lessons to improve my discipline.

Thing is, I can only afford lessons when I have a job, but when I have a job I don't have time for the lessons. Catch 22. :-(

I'm guessing it's one of these:
