"No experience, but that's a nice looking guitar too. I think that size is a good match with smaller players.
What am I saying, I would like one as a travel guitar too."

I just joined the AGC a little while ago. Looks like a nice place. I rank myself as a beginner, since I can play maybe a dozen songs, know 25+ chords, can play several Barre chords, and am interested…Continue

John Wilson replied to Central Valley Musician's discussion What Learning path have you gone on in your playing?

John Wilson commented on James Sennett's group Martin Owners"For hygrometers, I use the ones intended for reptile environments that you can get at PetSmart or another pet store. I think I paid less than $5 for each of them. They track within about 1% indicated humidity of the expensive one. Most of the time…"
John Wilson replied to Ron Lane's discussion What's in a name? DX1 ? in the group Martin Owners"Or, like me, you might decide that even though you graduated from college 20-some years ago and could afford a much, much better guitar, you just don't want to."
John Wilson commented on James Sennett's group Martin Owners"I have a Fender with a solid spruce top like that. It still sounds great and has a ring that makes me smile when I pick it up. I only played about 2 dozen of THAT model before I picked it out as the best of them all. However, I knew that I would be…"
John Wilson commented on James Sennett's group Martin Owners"James, my choice of guitar was helped in several ways. First is, I like the sound of Sitka Spruce solid tops. Secondly, the stratabond neck is very strong and appeals to my eyes more than any other wood. The third thing I realized after playing ALOT…"
John Wilson replied to Ron Lane's discussion What's in a name? DX1 ? in the group Martin Owners"I also just bought a DX1AE about 5 weeks ago. After comparing it to guitars up to and above $1K, I walked out with it instead. Great sound, beautiful top, and a great price. I think you made a great choice."
John Wilson replied to John Wilson's discussion New Member Here"Thanks, I can't smoothly change all 25, but I can do 12-15 with little trouble, depending on what day it is. Of course, F's and B's slow me down some as they often do. I may know the chords, but I have a long way to go to get my…"
Terry Doran replied to John Wilson's discussion New Member Here"Wow John, can you smoothly change to all 25 of those chords? If you can, I'd say you're more than a beginner."
John Wilson replied to Don Black's discussion Esteban? How many of you have started playing guitar because of Esteban's packages?"I have to say that although I had wanted to learn an instrument for a long time, I was really motivated to learn when I saw a few of Esteban's shopping network infomercials. I thought it was a good idea to get it all in one package and my wife…"
