A friend of mine dropped by today and brought me a new Paul Reed Smith guitar the one in the middle upfront . I’m thinking the $50 gift certificate that I got him for a local music shop might not be enough . I love my rocket but I love my guitars to
I always yearned to be able to play the guitar , I tried in my late teens to learn but my fingers were so cracked and covered in birdseyes from my work it was impossible .
When I was in first school , the school brass band got to sit on chairs at the front of assembly , whilst all the other kids had to sit crossed legs on the floor . I was most indignant about this , so asked my father for a trumpet . He bought me the most battered , tarnished and bent cornet you ever did see , I couldn't play one single note .
I somehow managed to mime and blag my way into the school band . Twice I managed to sit on those chairs at the front of assembly , where a perfect view could be had up the girls skirts .
Inevitably I was rumbled , and once again relegated to the floor !
That's awesome ! I don't know what that is called , but I know it's some Kind of slide guitar and much harder to play !A little off topic. Sorry you never learned to play the guitar. My country music interests took me down a different road in my late teens. It served me well, I always had bands that wanted me and I made a lot of money with it down through the years. At one point I was making more playing 5 nights a week than I was teaching. I could have even done it for a living. I don't play very often anymore...mainly by choice. I played a whopping 5 times last summer. Many people don't even know what this instrument is. Playing an instrument has provided me with a lot of personal enjoyment.
