Guitars

Found my capo, and played guitar for at least an hour yesterday! I learned how to play "Feel the Pain" by Dinosaur Jr.

"Feel the Pain" (Watch on YouTube)

I've mostly got it down, except for the little bendy parts. "Little bendy parts" meaning the thing where you bend one string to match the note you're playing on another string.

I think if I can really get into this, I want to get a new guitar! Maybe I'm getting a little ahead of myself here, but man... The guitar lust is real! I'm definitely not a gearhead by any means, but I do find them beautiful!



That "blueberry burst" finish is so dreamy!! 😍

I used to have a Hello Kitty Strat, but I sold it years ago when I was broke. I regret that now, but they're pretty cheap and I may just replace it when I get the chance! They came in black or pink. I had the black:



It's nothing fancy, but I just love how the pickguard is a sweet Hello Kitty face!! Fender also makes a Bad Badtz Maru bass guitar!

I'm not really a Gibson guy or a Fender guy... I'm a... confused guy.

I was always into fender growing up.. in my 20's I got a really good deal on a les paul studio and, whoa, it was a world of difference. made my fenders feel like toys. One of the cats knocked the les paul over and broke it, so I'm back to a tele, and I guess my washburn is a gibson 335 copy.

I dunno. I like the old neil young quote - "every guitar has 2 or 3 songs in it" and I think I agree with that.

Oh man, I love Neil Young! I'd never heard that quote before, it's a good one!

That's so interesting what you say about Fender vs. Gibson. I should really go into a guitar store and see/hear for myself! I get shy in guitar stores though LOL I should really get over it!!

Too bad about your Les Paul! :o(

I don't know what guitar stores you have access too, but If you've got a Sam Ash, I'd recommend going there. they are a lot cooler with letting people try things than guitar center is.

I don’t think we have that store here, but there are a few local alternatives to Guitar Center.

One of these days I gotta get over myself and learn to be ok with looking stupid in a guitar store! 😂

I mean if I want to know what they all sound/feel like... I’m gonna have to take that leap!
