Cuttin down forests with these Axes!!
So, if anyone remembers, I had a little depression awhile back. Basically the guitar was just staring at me and laughing and it shook me to the core. Anyways, with the help of everyone here, I broke through it and am tryin to get better everyday. Anyways, during this time of depression, word got around to one of my distant cousins who used to own a music shop. It unfortunately went out of business along time ago so i never knew about it. My aunt told me I should have lunch with him just to talk about music and whatnot so I was like "whatever, it really doesn't matter. I suck at the guitar." So I went and had lunch and all of a sudden he busts out a Blueridge acoustic guitar (retail around $1000) and tells me not to give up on the guitar because he's been where I was and didn't really put his heart back into it. I was floored. Needless to say I went home and played the hell outta some guitar for the rest of the night (the best i could atleast)  So that's my story. Thought maybe someone might want to hear it. 
In the pic:
-The Blueridge BR-160 Acoustic is on the right
-Optek Fretlight 421 ( www.optekmusic.com) on the left
-The Asher Junior Electro-Hawaiian Lap Steel (Newest Member of the family and I can't wait to make it scream!) is in the middle
-On the floor are my slide's (brass, glass, and Steven's Bar) and a Boss DS-1 stompbox
Let's just say everytime I walk in my room I go 
I pray one day I can play....Good

Hi Ben, just wondering what you think of your Fretlight guitar. I was wondering if it would make a usefull learning tool. I won't be substituting my "in person lessons", just hoping to learn some new songs and leads. Seems like an interesting idea. Thanks, Tom
