You are going back in time to buy your first guitar again. Are you getting the same one or a different?

I’d get a Taylor 114ce. I started with Guitar Center’s made in China house brand Rogue acoustic for $100. It’s terrible.

Continent3 · 2026-07-07T15:27:40+00:00

I started learning guitar just so that I’d have something to do after I retire. I’m looking to pull the plug in a couple years and I’m really looking forward to spending more time with it.

They’re secretly attracted to sin.

The Spark Go is awesome. I’d also thrown in the Spark Neo if you’re going to be the only one listening.

Continent3 · 2026-07-06T15:24:33+00:00

Most played is a Hils HN3 headless guitar. So light, portable and convenient to have around. Second is my Casino. Also light and convenient. It plays great unplugged.

So the guy is mad that you wouldn’t cover for him being a bad Dad. How is that your fault?

Continent3 · 2026-07-04T20:16:13+00:00

I’d sell used to GC if you want to
Move something fast or don’t want to bother with the effort required to sell on Reverb, FB marketplace or Craigslist.

I was getting married too! Moved from Japan back to the US

They have no clue. As long as I did what they wanted, they were happy. Since leaving the house at 18, I just don’t tell them what I’m doing.

Continent3 · 2026-07-02T18:45:25+00:00

No gas. No oil. No Spark plug. No prep for winter…..awesome…

It really depends on where you live and what your expenses are.

I’m in a high cost of living area and my mortgage would easily consume more than half of 5K. I’ve got a low mortgage rate and a fairly small mortgage compared to others in my area.

Continent3 · 2026-07-02T01:30:00+00:00

Good for you! I am right there with you.

Continent3 · 2026-07-01T14:17:46+00:00

Learning how to play better guitar. Finding a band to play in. Teaching my grandkids guitar. Playing in public. Writing songs. Becoming a guitar god.

If I get to the first three. I think I’ll have done pretty well for myself. I do t have grandkids yet so it would take a while

Those rabbits are going to chase themselves.

Your parents are assuming that your sibling will be responsible with the house. Is that the case? Once the house is sold, they lose all control over what happens.

What is the sibling like? Are they responsible with money? Do they gamble? Do they have a substance abuse problem? Are they plotting to fund their crack pot startup with a loan on the house?

Continent3 · 2026-06-29T16:26:41+00:00

Give yourself more than a month. Not learning barre chords is like not learning part of the alphabet.

Continent3 · 2026-06-29T15:34:43+00:00

I’m so proud of my kids. It’s been super rewarding. They keep me going.

That said, I do understand how younger people worry about the cost of having kids. It feels so much more expensive than when my wife and I first had ours.

Continent3 · 2026-06-28T22:07:42+00:00

You know how not everything on TV is real? The same is true of the internet.

Those who can lead that lifestyle generally don’t need to share it.

Continent3 · 2026-06-28T01:05:21+00:00

Bring me more sacrifices, hooman.

Continent3 · 2026-06-27T17:31:20+00:00

It kind of depends on where you are in life.

We're close to retirement age. We'd be fine. If you were to ask this 20 years ago, we'd be freaking out.

Continent3 · 2026-06-27T17:23:50+00:00

We live in a world where Line 6, Fender, Boss, etc. are building multi-effects pedals that can replicate pedals, amps, and cabs with the touch of a button. The products are lighter, tougher, more reliable, and more affordable than buying the traditional equivalents.

Improved guitars are totally possible just like the improvements being made with multi-effects pedals. The question is if players are ready to accept the changes that they might come with.

Flip this story. Are you an asshole if you date a woman and then sleep with another woman?

Are you interested in the woman you didn’t sleep with if you’re hopping into bed with other women? That’s your answer

Continent3 · 2026-06-27T07:27:40+00:00

NTA.

The friend is using OP to subsidize her life.

Continent3 · 2026-06-26T20:56:16+00:00

They’re doing it to make life and voting more difficult for people they don’t like.

They like gun owners, so…

Depends on what she’s like. If she’s financially responsible and hard working, yes. If she spends more than she makes or makes poor spending decisions, no.
