Hear the drummer get wicked
I’d like to buy a new guitar.
I have 2 already, a beat up acoustic I was given by a co-worker when I was 18, and a cheap electric I bought about 6 years ago.
I’ve wanted a new acoustic since I first tried to tune mine. One of the tuning pegs is totally shot, and barely keeps it together. The spider gear is a different size than the normal gear, but it mostly works. The sound is, well, what you’d expect from a beat up free acoustic guitar.
I don’t have any delusions of being a good player. I know a few chords, and can muddle through a few songs appropriate to the era I grew up in. My left hand can’t seem to grasp any transition to a C chord, although it handles A and G just fine.
The problem lies in determining what I want. Do I want an acoustic electric? Do I want a 12 string? Do I want something I won’t be afraid to take camping, or do I want something that requires a shrine at home?
These are world altering matters here.
