Now I have been a musician since grade school when I first learn to play the trumpet and scince then i have played both jazz and symphonic gigs but never had the time to explore the guitar. Now in my early 40's I have more time to spend on the guitar. I have just brought a new cc057 Celebrity and I love it greatly. Though I have some experience on the guitar but I don't consider myself much better than an advanced beginner. I am also a big fan of Al Di Meola and I am amazed to learn he plays an Ovation. Well being that I'm new to the Ovation family and sill somewhat new to the guitar I will appreciate any suggestions I can get.

Later!

First of all welcome. Many of the people here are crazy, but are very helpful and willing to share their knowledge of guitars and guitar playing. Enjoy your new Ovation and the time spent here.

Welcome GMAN. It's nice to meet you. Rest assured that you're not the only advanced beginner here. There are even some novice intermediates.

Welcome GMAN.
Words of caution... Frequenting this site tends to produce GAS!

I've had my 3 O's for the last 15 years without a thought of getting another. Since I joined in March of this year, I've picked up a Custom Balladeer and a Legend. It's a GOOD feeling!!!

Expose yourself to the music of not only Artists but regular people. Attend jam sessions whenever you can. It is the sharing that means the most.

This is what got Woody banned from the Church Camp Jamboree.

Welcome to the club GMAN. I'm a newbee also, but I've had Ovations for over 25 years. I can tell you that I've played everything from old Yamahas and Fenders to Gibsons, Martins, and everything in between, and I personally don't believe you could ever find a better deal than an Ovation.

Congrats on your purchase. It probably won't be your last (:
