[NoQuestion]

Hi! I'm new! YAY!

Okydoky, so I have been goofing off with chords on my guitar on and off since last March, really. But I've been learning standard notation for a few months now. Yayness! Since I'm not taking lessons or anything I love that I can find message boards like this where I can ask questions that I can't ask a teacher.

My guitar is REALLY old. It used to be my mom's and she got it at a pawn shop when her and my dad were first married over 20 years ago for $50. hehe So you can imagine what kind of shape it is in. But it's not as bad as you might think...it's only got a couple small dents. hehe...

Sooooo....yeah! That's about it! Awesome site....

Hi NQ. As long as it stays in tune and the strings are the right height,it's all good. Welcome.

What make is the guitar, NQ? I know a friend of mine (taught me my first song on this) got a Gibson that he found up in the attic. The Gibson belonged to his grand father. The guitar plays like a dream and it has a very trebly sound, clear sound. I think he told me the guitar was from 1905 or 1895 Im not sure.

It kinda looks like a violin the top is shaped with two side sound holes like a violin. The fret board is also rounded. This was interresting seeing that it makes playing barre chords easier...

if it was 50 twenty years ago it prob was a pretty good guitar, it doesnt matter where i came from or how much it cost, if it plays good and sounds good, thats what counts, and the fact that u have it and are trying to learn to play it

P.S.
mine is a dime store acoustic that my son gave me to learn on, i put a pickup in the sound hole and volume and tone controls on it, it sounds pretty good, i borrowed a couple electrics form him and dint like them a much as my acoustic with the pickup, i also have an ibanez hollow body electric that my son gave me for xmas and i like it, but i still play the acoustic most of the time
