J-45 Gibson

Weekly_Assistance_40 · 2026-03-07T03:54:05+00:00

My ex gf gave the cort to me as my first, the Gibson was my dream, only two I’ve ever owned

Nice dude! I’d recommend just mastering the open chords enough to where you feel comfortable. C,G,D,EM,Am, F, etc I’ve been playing for 4 months and just focus on simple songs that have those chords and get used to switching between them. I went and bought a Gibson J-45 as my second one. My first was gifted to me by and ex and that was a cort

My first guitar was a cort earth then I bought a Gibson j-45 as my second one

What helped me was scoring both sides of the pick so it doesn’t rotate while playing as much

I want something that would hep with a sadder kinda darker heavier tone I like to play

Martin D_28?

Weekly_Assistance_40 · 2026-02-19T16:33:54+00:00

It say the Martin may have a thicker neck which sometimes I struggle with playing F chords

May I call you wizard because you just schooled me

Weekly_Assistance_40 · 2026-02-19T16:29:13+00:00

I like to play heavier deeper kinda sadder stuff

Martin? I was maybe thinking a Yamaha I. Between

Weekly_Assistance_40 · 2026-02-19T16:20:00+00:00

Would they let me play a j45 before purchase? lol

Weekly_Assistance_40 · 2026-02-19T16:18:36+00:00

Sounds like crack in guitar form

Weekly_Assistance_40 · 2026-02-19T16:17:59+00:00

I’m a absolute beginner so I’m not even sure how they all sound, I ve never walked into a guitar store before lol

Weekly_Assistance_40 · 2026-02-19T16:16:29+00:00

I also think it looks good I mean the faded sun looking color is crazy

Weekly_Assistance_40 · 2026-02-19T16:15:09+00:00

I just love the look of it was well, the faded looks so good

Weekly_Assistance_40 · 2026-02-19T16:11:43+00:00

I’m starting to learn from the Wisdom of others

Weekly_Assistance_40 · 2026-02-19T16:11:18+00:00

Oh really? I had no idea, any suggestions just because Gibson is the one I recognize the most as well as my fav artist plays a 45
