Sounds like you've learned from experience, gabby.  Well said.  And I think your equation for getting better is right on.

Sounds like a place I could enjoy playing in.  It's not so much the money, as the fun of it all.  And free beer to boot.  My kind of place.

I keep my Indian Rosewood Martin in its case and can smell the wood every time I open the case.  A nice pleasant smell.

Best of luck acquiring your HD28 Pete.
What are you playing now?

I am playing a Martin Custom D Classic Rosewood.  I absolutely love it, but I still want the HD-28.  I will use the Custom D as my travel guitar since it cost half as much as the 28.

I can just see Russell strumming in the recovery room.  NURSE.  Get my guitar.  The gall of it.

I agree with you NELA.  There was a picture somewhere in one of the other threads of good posture and the correct way to hold a guitar.  Here is what it showed.  OK, for right handed people, we always put the guitar on our right leg which causes the guitar to be at a 90 degree angle with the floor.  The correct way, it stated was to put the guitar on your left leg, which brings the neck of the guitar up higher and this way is easier to hold chords bnecause  the left wrist ends up being straighter.  I don't play this way, but it makes a lot of sense.  Stick to your guns, NELA.

Welcome Joko.  A true statement.  Come back often and join in the discussions.

Welcome charsue.  Everyone does it differently.  There is no right way or wrong way, but, I would say, just starting out to pick a small handful of songs and practice them.  As you get better with them, add another song or two.  You don't have to completely learn a song before you move on to others.  Good luck and come back from time to time and let us know how you are doing.

Willie is old enough to know what he is doing.

I ate too much.  I hate when I do that.

I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

I have to agree with you kj, but it is a much deeper issue than that unfortunately.
