Guitars

I don't know why it is, but I love acoustic guitars. There I said it. That was my admission for the week. You're not gonna get anymore confessions until Sunday. Which is only two days away. Get over it.

Anyways. Today. Someone let me play. A $700 guitar. Yes that is right. 7-0-0. (If you didn't realize it, that number is double oh seven backwards). Anyways. It was beautiful. It would've sounded beautiful if someone besides me was playing it.

So I wanted to let you know that I can now play and sing along to 2 and a half songs. I know, right? I thought it was impressive. Anyways. The covers that I can play come from the artistry of Staind, Live and the one and only: Jewel. I know. Jewel's amazing. Pretty. Talented. And she writes poetry along with her own song lyrics. There's that whole playing the acoustic guitar thing, but a lot of people do that so that shouldn't be a qualifier.

But yeah. I felt okay playing the guitar because I was actually playing songs instead of just chords. The guy who was in the guitar shop lent me his pic. I kinda felt a little pathetic asking for one, but I didn't have one on me and it would've been difficult to play without it (I tried). But ya. Fun stuff.

So the reasons why I love the acoustic. It's very musical. I don't mean that it plays music. I mean that the way it plays music is something that you can listen to easily. I'm not sure why. I've always liked the way the acoustic looks. I would have to say that I like the woods that are lighter in color rather the really dark wood. That's just me, though.

I'm thinking that I might actually get a new guitar by the end of the summer. That way it could plug in and I could get used to it. It would sound nice, too (I'm hoping).

But yeah. Thanks for listening. Until next time.
