Buying a Guitar: HELP!!!!
So,
I decided a while back to start learning how to play instruments. I figured that since I can’t seem to sing anymore (as my wife keeps reminding me) that I’d get my music fix by instruments instead. Well, eventually I went and picked myself up a Yamaha DTX Electric Drum kit and I’ve got beat one and two down. Now I need to learn fills, etc.
With the deployment baring down on me, I decided that it would be better not to try to tak drum kit and to try to get a guitar to learn how to play. One of the fellow ET’s on the ship is ae the huge guitar head. We talked back and forth and he busted out his magazines and hundreds of pictures on his current prospects. We kept talking and he asked me what my favorite bands were: Metallica, U2, Mercy Fall, Seether, Skillet, GnR, Bon Jovi, Life Church! Eric Beeman, etc. He said that a majority of my fav’s used Ibanez guitars. On top of that, he said that the Ibanez’s used the same types of necks for both electric and acoustic. That’s a good thing because I want something easy to play. According to most guitarists, electric is easier, but I should learn an acoustic first.
Some people have said some things for me to look for. Well, about the only think I know how to do on a guitar is tune it and I’m not that great at it. So yeah, I’ll look for action, inlays, etc., but how am I to know what the difference is? I just want to pick up a decent sounding guitar that anyone can learn to play and not be embarrased by its sound when a pro picks it up. Any suggestions?
Amazing!
It’s amazing this translated over so well:
Check this out:
I really hate it when something happens like this. Go check out Fred’s Blog and see what’s going on. Quick summary:
1. Fred does Online E-Business
2. Fred has an outside source that does some stuff for him.
3. The outside source screwed up (it happens).
4. It wasn’t his fault and apologize to every single customer personally.
5. Most customers were cool, but a lot were not.
6. His account is being closed now because of this major screw up, bad complaints, and ratio’s being skewed because of the screw up.
Anyway, check it out and pray for him. I really hate it when something is totally out of your control but it affects you in a very negative way. Who doesn’t hate that? Seriously, this is something that his family depends on and it could serious hamper life in his household. Hopefully his “outside source” roger’s up and helps to make things right so that his business can continue on.
Plaxo, HTC 8525 & a Macbook
Well,
I’m losing to something here. I should only have like 200 contacts, and somehow I keep ending up with 400 plus! I have a Cingular (AT&T or HTC) 8525 Windows Mobile phone and a new MacBook using Plaxo and the Missing Sync. I’m trying to figure out how to sync it all up, but somehow I keep ending up with duplicates, triplicates, and quadruplicates. I’ve gone through and deleted and “de-dup’d” at least five times now…This is getting annoying!
