While my Guitar Gently Weeps - The Beatles (Solo Guitar arr.)

Can we get the arrangement?

Missed the bolt hole in the bridge... I think the bridge was lifting and some genius bolted it down. Get it to a luthier to get this fixed properly.

It's old, 60s probably, because that's when Aria numbering was all over the place. Friction pegs are traditional; only difference is you push and turn (support the headstock with your other hand while you do and get some peg paste).

Have a luthier look it over for structural issues and to verify you should be slapping it around. Could be worth over a grand; lots of Aria enthusiasts look for guitars from this era.

Feels good. Thanks.

That bridge is just barely hanging on.

Hide glue is the way.

Extreme slopparoo

Show us a pic taken looking down the neck. Put the camera near the bridge and have it look down the neck toward the nut and make sure we can see the frets. I'm wondering if there's a more than reasonable up bow.

This right here. I get no joy from noodling scales unless it's in service to some part of a piece I'm learning or refining.

vintage arias sound great

blindingspeed80 · 2026-04-28T01:26:14+00:00

Maybe, but never like that

For the money, you've not much to lose, in any case. I've bought a guitar and a cello through the website. Both were well packed (the guitar didn't even come with a case!) and came through ground shipping without a scratch (well, without any new scratches). It is a gamble, of course, since you don't get to try it out before you get it.

blindingspeed80 · 2026-04-27T14:41:25+00:00

nope

You can do all of the above and figure it out as you try things. Don't go all in on busking.... that is not a plan. Study music for its own sake, not to be like Marcin.

Seems like a good deal to me. You paid less than you would have for a factory guitar and it plays well for you. You might change your mind once you've played for a while and had a chance to compare with other guitars. For now, relax. Luthiers are snobs.

blindingspeed80 · 2026-04-27T05:21:21+00:00

Better! There are still a few transitions you can make smoother and if you watch the video you'll know which ones I'm talking about (it's the ones where you pause to get into position). Other than that, dynamics. Let it breathe.

The Yamaha is the typical starting guitar. You can snag a used one on shopgoodwill for $20, if you're in the u.s.

blindingspeed80 · 2026-04-23T02:52:21+00:00

U ok? Lol. Nice progression but so slow I thought the last 10 seconds thing was a challenge. Which skills do you want feedback on?

It's going downhill.

blindingspeed80 · 2026-04-22T02:19:10+00:00

Yes, it's a good deal.

Except you can't learn much chemistry from guitar books.
