I had a couple of friends when I was 11 or 12 who had guitars and they played a little. That got me interested. My first one was a Silvertone archtop. Real pretty guitar. Wish I still had it. I piddled around over the years, and also went 20 or more years in between playing. I finally got a little more sreious after I retired and spend much more time at it. Practice is good.

Re: Picks Around the World (412 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I have the package. What a great idea. It is fun to look through it. I kept a couple of picks and added several more. I enjoyed some of the music. I think Aquacash5 is next. If you want it, send me your address via the email at the bottom of my post. The one attached to chordie is incorrect. If I don't hear from you in a few days I will send it to anyone else who puts their name in the hat.

Re: I've Got The Itch (48 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
I have turned around a little on what I want now. I really like the HD-28 better. I'm pretty sure thast's what I'll be getting. It just sounds better than the Gibson to me. My Martin Custom D is a very simple looking, no frills guitar with a satin finish. I love it, but now I want a nice shiny, glossy Hd-28 sunburst. It'll still be a few months before I get it, so I keep dreaming. It's fun to dream.

Never give up. Learning the guitar is an experience that is well worth it. As everyone says, your fingers will get better with time. A little practice every day should do it. Good luck.

Re: Help with cords (15 replies, posted in Music theory)
Learning your open chords with your last three fingers is the way to go. I didn't do that all these years and it makes it very difficult to do barre chords. If you learn it that way from the beginniong, you will be that much further ahead.
