damn i feel like i'm picking up the guitar quickly this time. i mean it's obviously because i'm practicing every day but i'm way better at chord fingerings than i ever was as a kid
Tried that ice cream recipe again except with strawberry sugar-free Jello instead of unflavored gelatin. Texture was just as good and had just the right amount of strawberry flavoring. Presumably this would translate with any other Jello flavor as well, so now I have some more to try. Peach, lemon, and lime all seem good candidates.
just bought my second guitar ever, an esp ltd ec-256fm. while still a rather cheap model, it's a big step up from my rusted out, shitty old peavey (which only works as an acoustic nowadays ... lol). looking forward to trying this baby out. it's my first les paul -style guitar, too
nice. I really want a guitar that has the gibson 24.75" scale length like that one does. most guitars, including all of mine, are 25.5" which is bigger than ideal for my hands.
I was thinking seriously about getting another guitar just recently but weirdly I don't think anything exists that meets the specifications I'd want
something like a gibson 335 would be closest, but I really want something with a robust trem system that can handle big divebombs without going out of tune
i've also learned that while i have pretty big hands and skinny fingers, my fingers aren't actually very long
still managed to get the hang of barre chords in a day though. i remember always being bad at them as a kid, but it's so much easier with youtube as a resource. it's all about technique!!
yeah the 335 is like the standard jazz guitar which would probably suit my playing style more than anything else these days
I thought about making my own, but knowing me I wouldn't finish it
I'm really bad with barre chords, I can play them fine but my hand starts to hurt like hell after more than a few minutes so when i write stuff I don't actually use them all that much
I caught strep throat AGAIN! This is the second time since I got my tonsils out in October. This is at least the 10th time I've had it since February 2015
