If I walked into a guitar store and they had them to try, I’d love to give them a go. If they were inexpensive, maybe take one home. Probably to hang on the wall, but still. Cool Art. 🧐🤓
I played a riff for my wife I just figured out and commented it sounds better loud. She said “ well, turn it up! “ After 42 years I think she’s a keeper! 🥰
I've got one year in. So much good advice on here! What I've been doing lately is using my drum machine to do scales. When I go through them I make them as musical as possible and just jam for 20 or 30 minutes. I do bends, hammer ons, pull offs, slides and other techniques that sounds like it...
Thanks for the encouragement though. I’m gonna see a specialist and if I can get it fixed I’ll revisit the big guitars. Because everyone looks good behind a big Gretsch! 😎

Very timely thread as I’ve been debating a small tube type micro amp for a 10” inch speaker cab I’m building. I’ve looked at this amp and I found a used one for fairly cheap. I’m gonna pull the trigger! 😎😃
Noodling is kinda fun, and I’ve learned that I can make an improvised solo of sorts, but my goal is to learn some actual songs. I’m learning stuff out of magazines with the short lessons, but a 2 minute song or so would be cool.
