My first Acoustic :D

Yesterday, i got my first guitar, and acoustic from a nameless japan brand...plays like a beauty and still just as hard on my poor fingers....well the pain is actually getting less now.

This wud be the first time since september that id be holding a guitar even. Due to the Gamefest and some other stuffs i kinda got distracted from the guitar thing, but me saved up some dough this month and bam! Now i can start practicing in peace.

The shopping trip itself was kinda interesting actually, me and my friend (hes an expert on guitars so brought him along as a shopping guide and well its boring to shop alone too) went to like three shops. And in my knowledege the only three in male. Amazing isnt it? Though the equipment they had were pretty good actually, and im talking about electric guitars here. Island Music for instance had a Rhoads shaped guitar, like the one alexi laiho from children of bodom uses. I cud tell it was worth its price since it had two EMG pickups and what looks to be a legit floyd rose tremolo. Ok so that was a lil guitar technical stuff i mentioned but ill try to explain these components in detail in later posts. Google them if curiousity gets the best of you, ud be amazed how the electric guitar actually works. They were asking 5000 for it, and they were forced to cut the price from 7000 this month, I feel a little pity for them really, that guitar looks way more than 7000 even, and no one wants to buy it. Or could anyhow...

That being said Island Music did look like they had the better set of instruments and other related equipment like amps, but they had the biggest prices too, and for me, i hate acoustics, i just want to learn what i can from it and then smash it all over the place as soon as i get my electric, so i went for a relatively cheap one. Though its pretty good to get me to sleep, i swear i fell asleep after less than an hour of playing...well thats a good thing in a sense, but it just shows how boring it is for myself.

Twas some nameless brand, about the same size as an electric and cost about 790. Not bad i guess, it sounded great, and even after a whole day of skill-less strutting and sister and bro tampering it remained in tune, so its pretty solid.

Aside all this im still having trouble holding the chords, so i kinda taped the tips of my four fingers...and it actually works :D, hurts a lot less and its easier to press down on the strings too, i guess a week of just holding chords in place i cud finally play a decent song...but it seems a new level from where i am at the moment.

Well thats it for now, maybe it might be another month before another post, or maybe id write one this afternoon, id laugh a little right now and just say, yea it just depends on my mood.
