I played some tunes when I went to buy it and almost shit myself at how good I sounded. I was like WTF have I been missing lol

Art & Lutherie Guitars
Very nice.

Is loud, I found a few faults with it since I played it all last night. It was dusty inside so I vacuumed that today, needs new strings for sure and a couple of frets have some wear on them, it's been played a lot, maybe why the sound is so loud and rich.

I can't play my other one now it's sound so bad lol ;) and I played that one all the time too.!! Maybe 89$ guitars from Factory Direct are not the best quality after all ;)

Talking of new strings... what a pain in the arse. I love having new strings but I hate changing them. :rofl:

I hate new strings, particularly on acoustics where I always think they sound too bright until they have been played for 10 hours or so.

I also hate having to faff around with truss rod adjustments so, once I have found a set up I like, I buy the same type and gauge of strings. 11s on my acoustics and 10s on my electrics.

Oh they do take a few hours playing to settle in, but for me what's worse is that point where you just know that they're past their best... you know you're going to have to change them soon, but it's a PITA to do it, so you put if off, and then hate yourself for being such a lazy c*** ... :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

I suggest point out "projects" for all to work on. I'm not suggesting something crazy difficult, just something that everyone will be able to have a go at and is recognisable.

I'll start it off

Bon Jovi - Dead or Alive. When I learned the opening riff, I was really pleased with mysel:

I have to admit that I don't know that one and it will take me a while to work out the chords, but it should keep me busy for an hour or two.

Thank you.

Getting the triads right is challenging and satisfying :)
