Nobody's posted an axe yet. If a guitar can be one then so can my hatchet... poopyhead.

Would that be Paul Bunyan of which you speak?

Aye, he would've been a pirate if he were'nt such a land lubber...

Nah dude he's got em in hermetically sealed display cases like all the other 1950's LP owners

I have a beautiful, carefully maintained, nearly mint 2004 Yamaha acoustic that I got at Costco for $60. So fuck all you guys.

I'm more than a little jealous.

I got the guitar when I was a senior in high school because I needed to take an arts class, and i was bored of brass (I played the trumpet for a while). I never really got into it until about 6 or 7 months ago, when my friend taught me a few songs. I've played almost every day since, and now I'VE GOT BLISTERS ON ME FINGERS! I'm loving it, and I can't imagine stopping.

While I've got you all in one place, can any of you hit me with some advice on what I should start learning to progress from the beginner stage? I got no money for lessons or I wouldn't be asking.

Yes. But I used silk diapers imported from Sweden with a 7,000,000 thread count.

They get played. I have stopped gigging out but am working on a 2nd CD which I hope to release in 2009 on CDbaby and iTUNES. The first one sucked and was kind of a joke. This one will be much better...which isn't saying a lot.

Youtube has some absolutely great lessons. It depends what you want to learn: chords, scales, songs, etc. You do have to wade through some crap but still......

Jim, you are beyond sick, but I mean that in a good way. You have some beautiful works of art there.

Read "Eric Clapton", by Eric Clapton...the fucker was self taught, and he ain't too bad.

**Jim S** · 07-16-2008, 09:25 AM

Well, I started playing in 1979. I'm lucky to have those albeit I might be selling some off.

Some lessons:

Awesome, thanks Jim! I'll definitely check those out. And I thought youtube was just for wasting time.

And to whoever it was that recommended it, I did read Clapton's autobiography. He may be an incredible guitar player, but he's a fucking terrible writer. Still a good read though.
