A New Guitar!

April 30, 2006 — Music, Photography and Shopping. 4 Comments

As I talked about before, I’ve been waiting to get an electric guitar for a while. I finally got the chance to go to Guitar Center. Awesome store, there’s like a huge wall filled with guitars. There are also “shelves” of amps that you can go ahead and test out.

I guess I’m really lucky to have gotten a Les Paul. It’s really great. I love how it sounds. I hope to save up some money and get some more stuff for it. What sucks is that the case is so form-fitting, that the strap has to be taken off one side and packed into a little space to close the case. It’s still a nice case, though.

I took pictures of the guitar, which I have yet to come up with a name for. (Any suggestions? Don’t really like Leslie or Paula.) There are pictures of the whole guitar, the switch, the headstock, and the body.

UPDATE: This guitar is henceforth known as

Meaty

A Birthday Wish

My Flickr Pro account just expired today. It’s great when you have a Pro account because it allows you to show off all your photos and not just 200 of them. You also get to upload more than just a few good photos. I would really appreciate it if anyone decided to donate even a little bit. Of course, there are better places to donate, so do as you wish.

Maybe I’m Back

I feel like writing about this. I’ve been thinking about getting an electric guitar for my birthday. Just so you know, it’s on May 6th.

I have three guitars in mind. My first choice would be a Les Paul. Hopefully a nice sunburst one. If not a Les Paul, then a good Strat. If not a Strat, then maybe a Tele. I know, those are used by like a lot of people.

One thing I have to say is very sad is that pretty much all the guitar buying guides I’ve looked at online are either very crappy and not in-depth or are trying to sell me something. I’ve made a checklist of things I plan to get. Here it is:

Guitar
Strap
Case
Tuner (I’ve been using an app for my acoustic guitar)
Cable
Amp
Capo (Thanks, Marina!)

I dunno if I missed anything. Tell me if I did.

I’m Taking A Break

April 15, 2006 — Personal. 1 Comment

I’ve decided that I want to take a break from blogging. There are many reasons why I made this decision. There are things going on in my life which I feel are more important than blogging. Thanks for sticking around. I might be back next week or even this week, who knows.

In the mean time, you guys should try and contact me or visit other sites where I do stuff. Check out the about page if you want. Oh, and send me Odeos through the contact page!
