How to buy a guitar?

   Posted by: WhiRL   in Music

This is my baby of which I am well pleased

I guess this is how I learnt to buy a guitar and also a little knowledge of why I bought Taylor guitar which Mike thinks makes no difference from a RM60 guitar. Now if you all remember me saying, I never had my own guitar prior to this. Therefore before this, my knowledge of guitars were relatively limited. Even now I don’t claim to be an expert but I definitely know how to choose a good guitar and tell what is a good guitar now.

This post will hopefully help most of you get the basics of choosing an acoustic guitar. Come to think of it. Should I teach you all how to choose other instruments? Please vote on this too ok?

Why I am doing this is because I realize there are hardly people patient enough or even made the effort to teach me all these things. I don’t see simple articles that help. Also many articles make me feel stupid rather than help me know that everyone has the right to own an instrument that is worth their money. Some even sound like they look down on our knowledge and make us feel small. A lot of what I learnt is from oral tradition and of course experience. I do not hold to the thought that this guide is perfect. But I hope to help some to just start off into the big huge world of music easier. I also believe that everyone can play music someway or another if we only help them patiently. So I hope this post will help ignite an interest to learn music too for some.

I’ve been dreaming of a guitar

   Posted by: WhiRL   in Music

It may surprise many of you to know this fact, but I have never had my own guitar all my life. This is honestly one of my greatest desires. I have been having the urge to hold a guitar for the past week. It is killing me not to be able to hear the sound of the strings. I have always just picked up the church one to just let it out. But today I needed to post about this because I honestly am so sad that I cannot play one now. Never before have I had such a craving.

The huge issue is, I never got a guitar because I cannot stand cheap one for their sound and also their touch. The one I really want will be impossible to own. Realistically there are some that are within reach in the next 2 years but I can’t wait that long!! I have waited all my life!

What to do oh what to do. I want to hear the sweet melodies. I want to smell the wood. Ah. Oh God please somehow grant my hearts desire. I know You have blessed me so much but I just want to worship You with a guitar each day. Please oh Please.
