You need to get an electric with a Deacon neck and put some Mediums on it. Then you'll have a "Man's" guitar to play! :D |

Location: Chapin SC | the only guitar I've ever played, ever, is my ovation. I'd never considered getting another
one, I've never even plugged mine in to an amp.
it just sounds sweet the way it is. But I do
play it every day. |

I agree with CWK2...it's all good. But with that said here is my take on it...
GC Said
I like electrics, as they offer such a diverse spectrum of colors and shapes That comment by GC is undeniable. With acoustics you will never get all the awesome shapes, sizes, and colors that electrics can provide.....but after owning probably well over 100 elecrics in my lifetime, I have come to the conclusion that through a good amp and some effects, you can make almost any electric sound like any other within reason. I have sold off almost all my electrics because I have 5 that can produce pretty much any electric sound I can think of.
Acoustics, on the othe hand....ahhhhhhhh. Every different model has a different sound, smell, and flavor that is unique. You will never confuse an Ovation to a Martin or a Collins or a National and on and on.
That's why we collect so many different acoustic guitars. The good ones cannot be duplicated in either sound or feel and each one has a life of its own.
On a final note, most really good electric guitar players will admit that they write most of their material on acoustic guitar. Why? Because if it sounds good on acoustic it will sound good on electric (and the reverse is definately not true). |

Electrics have a completely different feel from acoustics, so writing with them gives me different ideas, but trying to compose something with an amp blaring just does not work for me. Or my wife. :rolleyes:
Jeff: Thanks. I know I suck. That's why I bought a digital drum set. With a headphone jack.
Nothing worse than someone who can't play drums playing drums... |

Location: Evansville,IN | My instructor uses an acoustic to write all his material. He is into a lot of jazz guitar, which is something I'm no where near capable of playing. :)
I'm learning, but it's a slow process. I have remembered everything I have played, so that helps. :) Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks. :D |

My apologies. What I meant to say was,
Avez-vous un porc-épic coincé entre les fesses pour Pâques, alors? Je ne pense pas que les ris de veau se marient bien avec mon déjeuner.
I think that is the proper French salutation. |

It's good to see that there's a lot of people who speak French on this board!!
I'm french and i've dicovered some new expressions!! :D
It's surely not the right place but if you want, I can give you some lessons.
I'm also speaking the real language of Paris!!
Very colourful...
Jérôme ;) |

No worries. This would be a good time to practice a bit. My grammer is good, but on ocassion, I get my vocabulary a bit mixed up.
I like to practice with lines that I know I can use on women, such as:
Je n'pas de Roquefort, je pense que ce sont mes chaussettes que vous reniflez.
That one has them falling at my feet.
Jérôme,
Any lessons are welcome. Mercí
ChetDadi,
Bon Chance avec le Adamas un/deux.
Avez-vous considéré le "reissue" Adamas? |

Jeff,
First lesson:
Si tes chaussettes sentent le roquefort, il FAUT les laver!! Et tes pieds également!!
If your socks smell roquefort cheese, you MUST wash them!! And your feet too!! :eek:
J :D |
