    Wow. First time I ever saw a guitar being played like that.

    I did once owned an acoustic guitar as thin as the one played in the vid during my band playing days.

    Thanks for the share sir.

    I love that!

    My guitar playing story is a bit odd. When I was 18, I bought myself a classical guitar because I had always wanted to play. I carried it around with me for 26 years and never did anything with it.

    At the beginning of this year I realised I either had to give it away or start learning. So I started and absolutely LOVED it.

    When I made a decision to start this new business of mine, I had to put it down until I had got where I needed to be. So now it sits in the corner of my room, taunting me, until I have reached the milestone I set for myself.

    Oh for that day!!!

    You must really love that guitar!

    I use to carry mine to school with me every day and even sleep with it! lol

    Dont put it off, just pick it up and mess with it here and there, learn one single thing you like to play and let nature take its course.

    Its intimidating to think "i have to learn soooo much".

    Once you start playing the "snowball effect happens". Just learn to play a song and take it from there... hang on I will find you a good vid to start. You cant go wrong with first understanding what the parts of your guitar mean.

    Here is an excellent beginning knowledge lesson To help you understand the anatomics of your guitar... I dont know about the rest of his teaching...lots of upsells it seems but he's right "this" is where you start. Knowing what the elements of your guitar mean and are for.

      Hey bro! Havent seen you in awhile! Good to see Frank Zappa's shining face!!!

      Ps. Diana, I have a telecaster sitting in the corner that I rarely ever pick up, because somehow inside I just dont want to play it till my grandsons come home, its my favorite, but I think of it as their heirloom guitar, and it is supposed to be played for them. So I sorta understand.
