I've decided to try to learn to play guitar and today I bought this Alvarez guitar at a pawn shop for $130. It's so beautiful, it makes me cry. My first guitar and I'm going to fuck it up.

I've been looking to buy an acoustic guitar too and learn to play. We should team up for a duo performance at the preparty next year.
If you're not bleeding, you're not practicing enough.

What song would you most like to learn to play, Yablo? I mean if you had to choose only one.
By the way, guitars are even more beautiful when they're fucked up. It means you've played them and created with them. That's way cooler than a pristine guitar that sits in the corner. So don't be afraid to fuck it up. Also, be sure to practice windmills and rock star posturing.
Your first guitar Yablo? That is a really nice guitar. Especially for $130 bucks.
I just bought my girlfriend a guitar not to long ago. An acoustic Gretch for $175. I was happy with that buy.
Oh, dont forget to post a video of you playing stairway the second you learn it!
Playing guitar is one of the best things life has to offer. Once you get good. Hurry up and get good.
Learning to play is guitar is something i have always wanted to get involved in, but i also want to mix music. I'm not sure which path to take.

I've gone through both. I started with Guitar, worked my way and became the GOD of Bass (at my school), then started looking into mixing.
Will wine stain a guitar?
Whiskey Sour
2 oz blended whiskey
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1/2 tsp powdered sugar
1 cherry
1/2 slice lemon
Shake blended whiskey, juice of lemon, and powdered sugar with ice and strain into a whiskey sour glass. Decorate with the half-slice of lemon, top with the cherry, and serve.
That's a beautiful guitar.
Learning the Game can be our first cover song.
I keep thinking it's Keriann posting when I see your posts.
Greg, I want you to do a complete Buddy Holly cover. Vocals, grooving, everything. You can even get glasses. Then you can become the next Youtube sensation.
Ooooh, could you do "Words Of Love" at some point. Please? That would be AWESOME.
I second that.

It's all about Emaj and Amin and Emin and Gmaj and Cmaj when you first start out. Luckily there's a few songs that you can play with those 5 chords.

GO SEYMOUR GO!!!!!
EDIT: You're my hero, Yablo. You should go for it. I taught myself how to play the piano in my mid-twenties and all I started with was chords. It's never too late yo.

at the risk of being accused (again) of trying to be yablo..
I have a guitar that I don't know how to play. well I mean I can pick out Ode to Joy but changes? ha. no pain, no pain. good luck. remember Joni Mitchell can't play a C chord either.
edit: in other words I fail.
