I'm still battling that long road to being self taught. Love the acoustic, and Tommy Emmanuel is who enjoy the most, check him out on you tube.

Absolutely! Tommy is THE MAN!!! He's an unbelievable player and is the best on the planet as far as I'm concerned... There's lots of good videos on good old youtube. If you're shooting for skills like Mr. Emmanuel, that's a long, long, long road... He's the baddest of the bad! He's got a natural, God-given gift that few will ever have and I wish I knew what he forgot!
Check out these guys... Siggi Mertens (rock and roll, blues and even some Tommy lessons!) Damian Bacci (rockabilly) Marty Scwartz (blues) They're all great online teachers and you'll pick up at last a trick or two from each of them. They don't assume that the viewer is an expert player and won't overwhelm you... __________________ You can take laxatives and you can take a sleeping pill.

On the PRS...
I've only bought one guitar online that I liked to play. I learned that you have to pick it up and play it to see if you like how it feels. I made the "fat neck" mistake on a Les Paul, and on an SG. Both of them had fatter necks than I like, but I didn't know what they were describing in the write-ups. PRS has so many neck sizes, like everyone now, that you're really better off picking enough of them up until you feel what you like. I'm also a big fan of checking the fretwork for feel. There's a major difference in the way one plays out of the box, depending on the fretwork finish. I guess what I'm saying is, the local music store has a place in the world, since most instruments are touchy-feely things. They all look good in the photos! __________________ Alex Whetsell [======]~~~~~~~> Atlantavirtual.com Atlanta NOC |
