[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 6460838, member: 177"] Twangin' is goin'. Slowly. I had a work-related trip to San Francisco (had to miss a lesson), and then a nasty cold, Thanksgiving, and my Mother-in-Law visiting. Then my wife picked up the cold.... It has been a few weeks where finding time to practice has been difficult. It showed in my latest lesson, as there are some chords I just can't do yet if I'm not looking at my diagrams. The world has calmed down some, so I am trying to catch back up. While In SF, I had an evening with nothing to do. I decided to take the opportunity to visit the local Guitar Center (I had brought my papers from class, and could actually practice there with a borrowed instrument). I have to give a shout-out to the staff - I made it clear to the salesman right off that I was an out-of-towner, taking advantage of how they'll let you noodle with guitars as much as you'd like, and how he wasn't getting a sale form me. He still spent about 20 minutes with me, going over acoustic guitar construction, the general price classes and the differences in sound at each level. It was a nice primer, really useful for considering future purchases. And the fact that they'll let you pick up a $1500 instrument and just play it? Kind of intimidating :) [/QUOTE]
