LMAO! cost me 5.00 at a house sale and sounds like a $5.00 guitar.
They can be fun too....
Much to my chagrin now, I lacked the discipline to really commit to the guitar earlier in my life. My brother was the first to learn on my Gibson. I was playing the bass and piano at the time and first thinking the guitar was over my head. Then I got my head out of my arse and realized the guitar only had 2 more strings than a bass.....<gg> I learned a few songs and developed finger picking fundamentals then I got a flute.......
I took 3 months of flute lessons and went to Berklee College of Music for a year to study the flute. A year was about all I needed to realize that I didn't want to enter the music profession (I'm not good at sucking schlong).
After that I built harpsichords and repaired pipe organs for my brother-in-law who had a business in D.C.. I played flute in a chamber group at this church a few blocks from the capitol. We had a violin, viola, cello, flute and rounded the whole thing off with a bassoon, the sound was pretty cool. It was great fun, not to mention that for the only time in my life I was getting union wages for playing.....<g>
To make a long story longer. I didn't get serious about the guitar until after I retired from the Navy in 2002. Right now I'm at the point where I can tell I'm going to make a learning jump to the next plateau, it's about time too, I've been at the level I'm at now for too long.,,,, |
