I had SUCH a great time last night!!!
Terri can really sing can't she!!
Your new Guild guitar is the sound that i've been looking for in an acoustic. It actually sounds like a REAL acoustic guitar like you hear online! Even better in person! Also, your picking technique is phenomenal man!! How long did it take you to get your fingerpicking coordination so well?! I can barely keep track of what my individual fingers are doing when I fingerpick, I usually just go in-line down the fingers and strings (Thumb-Pointer-Middle-Ring-Pinky).

Im burning the DVDs now!!!
If you agree, I can upload the individual songs we played to my youtube account and post links to them here.

Hehe.

The Freeze pedal (By Electro-Harmonix) allows you to stomp on the switch of the footpedal and freeze whatever sound your guitar is currently making...until you release the switch/lift your foot.

It's great for people like me that play chords and lead together without a second guitarist.

Keep your head up man.
That freedom you have now...I agree that you should make the most of it. I'm sorry to hear about your situation with the kids but they will understand when they're older. Thanks for sharing your plight with us here, it's helped me to take a better second look at my own situation.
When you get your finances back in order, go out and listen to some free live music. Heck, if there are any local venues that have live music, go give it a listen. Everytime I go away on business (My only ME-TIME) I try to go out and listen to live music, be it jazz, blues, indie or just amateur night at some place. It's always therapeutic to sit back and get taught by someone showing the way live right in front of you. 
I don't know if you're a believer, but I am and I'll be sending some prayers up on your behalf. Some things...we have to tolerate because we are in this world for the time being.
The rest, God can fix.

Good luck and God bless,
Dm

It must be something else because they sure as heck don't love me.
The wife doesn't even like my playing...and I don't think anyone else does either.

Dm

Count me in! As long as we get to play guitar, I'm in.
I don't ask for much through the year so I don't think the wife would begrudge me attending this event.
In fact...I'll start saving change up right now so she can't say we don't have the money either.

We'll talk more when the details are posted.

thanks!!

Two things...

The first was "X-Static" by The Foo Fighters.
I learned how to play that song on the low E-String on an acoustic guitar my college sweetheart bought for me.
Then when we split up I hocked the guitar and got into building motorcycles.

The second was years later after being married and on my 30th birthday.
My wife bought me a Walmart brand "First Act ME440" electric guitar (My First) and all the memories of learning that first song came flooding back to me.
I ran with it this time.
Still with my lovely lady and still playing music everyday!

Divorce...and our slack-sided justice system...are made for women.
(Good) Men do not usually benefit from divorce or even break even when it's an amicable split and both parties just want to go their separate ways. Somehow...the law steps in and fudges it all up. I told my wife, I'm only doing this ONE time in my lifetime and there isn't going to be anyone BUT her in my life. She can take it how she wants to take it but I'm not ever dating or marrying again if she dies or leaves me for some odd reason. It's just not worth the hassle of getting to know someone again and spending all that time all over again...ugh.

The same thing happened to my cousin. He lost everything when he and his wife split. and it's not like he had much to begin with.
But sure as sin..the courts gave her everything. Luckily his house and harley were transferred into his mother's name long before the split happened.
I tell my wife all the time...being married to me is like the mafia. Only way out is blood or witness protection.
If it's ever my turn you can put Jail or death by cop onto the end of my list.

Yeah, that justice system again...and the fact that there are way more easy opportunities to have a hole filled (if you know what I mean) than there are for a man to put the wrecked aftermath of their life back together and have people understand or be sympathetic. It seems when this happens to a man, that's when the whole world caves in and decides to take it's lumps. The job decides to fire you because you're not performing the way you used to, the car decides to blow an engine or transmission, all those little symptoms you've been feeling over the years decide to mestastasize into full blown sicknesses and your relatives all get REAL busy and can't find the time or opportunity to help you.
Life...it really sucks sometimes.
