Topic: NGD

Hello all....I am recently retired and now in position to learn how to play the guitar....I saved and purchased a Martin GC MMV. I know it's  kinda "high end" for a novice to learn on but I knew it would inspire me and considered it an investment. I appreciate everyone welcoming me to Chordie and I will be calling on you all for questions and help. I'm really excited to learn...Thanx everyone for the advice so far! Pics coming soon!

Mitter B,  Nice buy!

I am guilty of having guitars far beyond my current reach but I am getting closer. 
Great tools make the work lots more fun wink

Cheers!

Re: NGD

I see the same thing as Roger. Unless Martin makes air guitars. I didn`t want to say anything just in case I was the only one not getting them.

Re: NGD

Go in and make sure the pictures are set to some type of public album Jeff.  Prolly on some private setting and why YOU can see them but we can't.  You're such a tease.  tongue

Congrats on the NGD either way Mitter!

Jeff, the last part of one of these Flickr! photos is: f59708f842_m.jpg

Try changing the 'm' before the '.jpg' to a 'z' for slightly larger or to a 'c' for larger picture still.

Re: NGD

That is one nice new baby. Congrats Mitter B.

Now you have to buckle down, practice, practice and then practice more until you can do justice to her smile.

Re: NGD

I warned you the fingertips are gonna hurt! If you can survive a couple of weeks, you'll build up some nice callouses and your 80% there. I really believe the main reason most beginners quit is they can't get through the finger pain. Callouses are a badge of honor, wear them proudly!
