Sounds like my pop! (dad) He started getting me to dump my hamsters old bedding/food into the compost, and lil punkin plants came up

Wow what mixed reviews! Guess the best thing is like jerome said, to play a few and see. Thanks for all the insight guys!

I popped myself pretty good on the hand once, but I don't ever remember breaking a string any other time. No emergency. room or abything like that, but it was def lame. I'm actually kind of glad you mentioned this my acoustics been needing new strings for a while now.....

Haha nice! Oh the things kids will say....

I have a g series takamine guitar. I payed around 300 for it, but then that was a going out od business sale. Compared to the other guitars, even epis and fenders, in that price range the takamine was head and shoulders above. I've had around 4 years now, and often get compliments on its tone from other players. I've never had the privilege of owning a Taylor or Martin, but for my puny funds I haven't found a better sound than my little takamine dreadnought. It also feels like its made with real wood and isnt so flimsy as other lower/middle end guitars. You have to go with your gut when you buy a guitar and find the right fit for you, but its definately worth a shot to try a takamine in the price range youre looking at.

Wow thats a toughie! Does this go by song quality, talent of the musicians or cultural influence? Longest time on the charts? Anyways I'm no good at putting this stuff in order but my list wpuld include: SOMETHING featuring the skydog, maybe the ABBs statesboro blues (an all time fav), Free Bird, Hendrix's Little Wing instrumental version, something  by Zeppelin (probly not stairway, didnt page say it wasnt the beat example of their sound or something?) maybe Rock n Roll, House of the Holy maybe even I Can't Quit You even though its a cover, a CCR song like Green River or Born on the Bayou, and because I'm from Texas I'd have to decide between LaGrange and something by SRV. Nice topic!

oohhhh ok ha thats pretty funny, havent had enough spare change to worry about it TOO much lately although ive been flirting with the idea of acquiring an ovation...

Way to go zurf!

Technical prowess aside, my earliest serious inspiration came from Willie Nelson's mellow acoustic fingerpicking style. I tend to value creativity above technical precision.

Welcome to Chordie! I've found that hanging around this site tends to make me more excited about guitar and learning more and improving. You'll find some great folks here too!

I'm only 20, but sometimes my shoulder hurts like crazy after I play a long time, I seem to notice it most at night. Sometimes my wrists pop and crack, which is lovely (not). thats a more recent thing but I'm pretty rough om them between guitar and art. Maybe let it rest a day or two?

I play in
church- which is where I started. I mainly play for myself too, but I feel like its something I can give. Anyhoo, the first time they talked me into playing I could barely even strum anything. I jad a sheet with higlighted chords over the words, and I would just hit the one chord on the one beat everytime we got to it lol.... It was a good experience really, even though I was embarassed. People were nice and tried to encourage me, and I got better. I've never been able tp decide if its harder to play for atrangers are people you know.
