Excellent! Think I've even got some of that in the cupboard

Took my Ibanez accoustic in for a proper set up today & was quite pleased to be told it's really quite a good guitar. It's only a budget model, but they seemed impressed with the build quality & sound of it. So I'm feeling all optimistic now.

I never clean any of my guitars.

i know what you mean BUT......any kind of wood dehydrates over time and to make your wood survive it needs moisture,but i am sure you know best.I have some guitars i really would hate to restring cos they work as they are and their shitness would be exposed by the disturbance of arsing around with them

now,then!

I def should start cleaning some of them then. But some just ain't worth it!

Wishing I had more time to practice, as I don't feel I'm progressing much just now

cant progress every day- just have fun and it will come- if you turn it into a chore or a negative thing you will be stuck for much longer

Very true. I enjoy the practice, but sometimes trying to play when I'm tired just doesn't work. Not giving up though.

Practise on Google today - it's Les Paul's birthday so the header is a playable 'guitar'.

Getting further into chord theory in my guitar lessons now. Having trouble getting it into my thick head though

whats chord theory? maybe if you explain it to me it will make things clearer for you *

I studied music for a while at school and although I can understand some of the technical stuff I can't write a tune to save my life. I looked at it very much like mathematics when I had to write a few bars. I'm not sure you need to understand it to recognise a nice chord.

Well, I can't understand the dots I'm afraid, but tabs are fine. I'm interested in finding out how chords are constructed from scales & using intervals & all that. And how to work out the different ways a chord can be played. I'm rubbish at maths but I do enjoy taking things to bits to see how they work
