Thanks to Toots, now I see what all the fuss is about!!!!!

I'll second JJJ's opinion of Yamaha's. I have 3 of them. Also, you can't go wrong with a Godin brand. Seagull, Art & Lutherie, Norman, Simon & Patrick. I have an A & L and love it. I'd buy a Seagull S6 in a second.

Go to your local guitar shop and touch every one of their guitars and see what gets you excited.

I don't have a musical ear. I can tell if my guitar is out of tune and get it close to being in tune, but that's about it. I can't tell what chords are being played when listening to a song.

Isn't that what amps are for??????

As you can see Sonny, picking the right pick is about the same as picking the right guitar. Everyone has a diff fav and lots of us use more than one. I say play everything you can get your hands on and find out what fits you. Maybe order some sample packs. I have some cheapo pearloids from Musicians friend, Wedgie sample pack, Clayton sample pack, a couple wood ones, a stainless steel one, acrylic, plastic, nylon, tortex, ultem, acetal, rubber.... that's what I have in my pick tin. So there are lots of varieties to choose from. Then there is thickness to think about also. I personally like the Clayton Spike in .72. They are cut a little sharper than a normal pick. Made of ultem.

I wouldn't get too hung up on the "right" one tho.

Here's another one I thought of.

I've been to one of his concerts and he's done a few for the after school program that I work at. He also plays Downtown Disney alot. The 10th vid down, Micah House, was taped at our 2nd location.

So you can tell people, " Yeah, I play guitar"!!!!!

Of the top of my head:

Brother Yusef - solo blues man very cool

2 cellos - amazing what hey can do with a cello

Playing for change vids are always worth a look

Swing, Dixieland Jazz, Big Band 1940's

If you've never listened to Japanes Shamisen music it's pretty cool. Old school or rock, they're both awesome. Yoshida brothers are on the forefront of rock.

I second what Russ said. The first thing that came to mind was slide.

Hope the therapy helps and gets you where you want to be.

Just tryin' to have a little fun....besides Pete started it!!!!!!!

Good for you DJ. Really, what does it take to sit down for 30 mins. and bang some stuff out? Keep up with it and those barre chords will be just another chord.

You know, if you lose enough picks in your guitar you can use it as a Maraca.

If you haven't already, we need the link to your vid. Inquiring minds want to know!!!!!

You should take your guitar back to the office. They can't tell you what to do on your lunch break. Get a lunch time band together and make fools of yourselves, I mean jam together.

Don't knock the Zebco 33 DJ!!!!!! There's a reason they still make them, they are awesome. One of those if it ain't broke don't fix it kinda things. Like the old Mitchell reels. Those were made for like 40 years I think.

I need to get my license and go catch some fish.
