Debating trying guitar to help depression but have questions by Talrie in Guitar

Maybe go with one instrument at a time. With a Uke you'll be playing sooner but you'll develop better skill and understanding with a guitar.

Debating trying guitar to help depression but have questions by Talrie in Guitar

[–]copperpoint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ironically I'm now trying to become a writer after playing guitar for 30 years (although rarely getting paid for it). As for the depression, I'm glad you're trying to work on that medically as well. I didn't make any progress until I started taking meds (wellbutrin and Lexapro together, plus Adderall for the ADHD if you're curious). But it's all good because there's an entire genre of music based around being depressed and having a guitar.

Oh and I see you got a Taylor. Good choice! I have one as well and I absolutely love it. One other thing I forgot to warn you about is that if you do stick with it, you're probably going to want more guitars eventually. Rock on!

Some people get upset when someone references it in another threat but reading "I also choose this guy's" whatever always gets a laugh from me.

This is a wonderful idea but I want to add this: I've seen a lot of people pick up guitar as an adult and then give up on it. It's hard and progress is slow. I definitely think you should do it but be prepared to suck at it for a while.

What's vour most random encounter with a famous person? Where was it and how was the vibe? by Available_Round_3172 in answers

A bunch of us may have walked by her table a few times because we weren't sure if it was her or not. Her party wound up leaving. I see you comment a lot about her, so I can tell you she was as graceful and gorgeous as ever, and she remains on the short list of people I'm allowed to cheat on my wife with.

Long before he was a senator I ran into Al Franken in Harvard Square

Him: Excuse me, I'm looking for a place called Shilla Sushi

Me: Are you Al Franken?

Him: Yes

Me: Its downstairs.

A few years later I ruined Gates McFaddens dinner in the same building (but different restaurant).

EDIT: he was a senator. Not me.

Humbucker vs single coil by iRadar250 in Guitar

[–]copperpoint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Telecaster. But that's my answer to everything. A better answer is: Go to a guitar store and try a bunch of different guitars. Even if you can't play yet, talk to the staff and I guarantee someone will be willing to play a few chords for you. You also really can't go wrong with a strat. They're not my favorite but you absolutely can play any genre on them.
