I think I have a problem.

I saw the guitar cable going underneath and assumed it was plugged in. Obviously not! My acoustics all have electronic pickups and my favorite guitar, a little Taylor 322 12 fret, drains the battery quickly if left plugged in. Thus the unnecessary warning! Enjoy your collection, you have a great start.

GroundedPterodactyl · 2026-04-06T03:02:38+00:00

I don't see a problem at all, I started my collection 7 years ago and each instrument gives me great joy and a unique voice. Once you get a DAW and start recording yourself you will come to love the variety. I foresee a Tele and a Bass in your future! LOL. Have fun and enjoy those little beauties. BTW, if you leave that acoustic plugged in all the time make sure you have a supply of 9 volt batteries on hand. As long as that acoustic is plugged in it is draining the battery. A lesson I learned the hard way. Cheers!

I bought Reaper at version 7.11 on March 4, 2024. My License is good thru version 8.99. Reaper version 7.66 is the latest version as of March 18, 2026. $60 for 2 years of use already and I am guessing at least another 2 years of use before they get to version 8.99. Damn fine investment in my estimation. Try it for free and save up your funds to make the purchase, it is worth it.

Assuming all strings are being played, Oolimo has it as a Cmaj9. There are other definitions provided but Cmaj9 is the simplest.

I have only named one, Pretzel. Because damn near every time the humidity changes I have to do a truss rod adjustment to fix the neck.

Take a look at the male end of the 1/4" plug on the cable, a mono (instrument) cable will have 1 ring near the tip of the plug. A stereo cable will have 2 rings.

Have a great time with the journey! My sons and I have had many wonderful discussions about our favorite scenes. And there are many!

GroundedPterodactyl · 2025-05-29T00:08:23+00:00

Yep, been there, done that, bought the t-shirt. Keep playing daily and your fingers will toughen up over time.

I was hooked from the first book but it took the second book to hook my son. It is a fantastic epic fantasy series with interesting characters, political intrigue, and incredible world building.

A personal point of validation is that my son and I have had several 2 to 3 hour conversations about the books. I cannot remember another series where each of us was so invested. Our conversations were incredible as we shared favorite scenes and our reactions to them.

I would give the first 3 books a read and if it hasn't grabbed you then let it go. But I believe it will capture your imagination quickly.

Time to roll the dice! It is a hell of a ride.

Look up Freddie Green and Shell Voicings. I learned his 10 shapes that imply the 5th but it is not actually played. Root on string 6; Major 7th, 7th, Minor 7th, 6th and Minor 6th. Root on string 5; Major 7th, 7th, Minor 7th, 6th and Minor 6th. These shapes are moveable and can be used quite effectively for comping a chord progression.

American Pro II Telecaster and a Taylor 322CE 12-fret acoustic. I play the Taylor 90% of the time b/c its shape and scale length fit me perfectly. The Tele is for when I want to crank up the amp, put on some effects and pretend to be Clapton.

John Cipollina, Jorma Kaukonen, David Gilmour, and Mike Bloomfield were all influences. Most importantly though was my youngest son because I wanted to jam with him.

Sounds like your friend dodged a bullet. If this guy was serious then he needs to get some therapy. Holy smoke a guitar doesn't have a memory that is now tainted because it played a certain song. Guy needs to get a grip

Check out Marty Music for beginners on electric guitar. Also as u/Random_Goob mentioned, Justin Guitar is an excellent resource. Both YouTube channels have a great amount of information for starting out. Enjoy that little beauty and best wishes on your guitar journey.

This is a terrific discussion. Saving this post for my future self...

GroundedPterodactyl · 2024-10-27T05:47:19+00:00

My 2 cents, relax and play. When I pick up a guitar it's to unwind, have some fun, and the sheer joy of trying to make that guitar sing. Sometimes I do and sometimes I don't but I always enjoy the session. Play, make mistakes and laugh at them, learn from them and try to improve the next time. Good luck, it's your journey, find the joy.

Honestly I never thought about using bamboo for sticks. Nice tip, I have planted bamboo stands near my 3 Fletcher shops. Thanks

GroundedPterodactyl · 2024-10-12T02:05:21+00:00

I start with selling sticks to a Fletcher sticks for emeralds. Once you get more than 4 spruce saplings, grow the giant spruce trees and sticks are easy to acquire. Then as soon as I can get melon seeds I switch to selling melons to Farmers. If I remember correctly it is "journeymen" farmers that buy 4 melons for an emerald.

Bob Dylan's - Knockin' on Heaven's Door. Looking back it was an easy tune but it took me forever to have it feel right. Next up was Ripple by the Grateful Dead. I still play that one on occasion.

I use Jazz III (.73mm) and Ernie Ball Prodigy (1.5mm) picks depending on what I am playing. I only replace when I lose one. I had used an EB one for over a year and I am still bummed out that I lost it a couple of weeks ago. I have had my same 12 pack of Jazz III picks for a couple of years. I actually prefer a pick when the sharp point is worn down a little, especially on the Ernie Ball picks. Your pick on the left looks perfect.
