I drove down to my folks house tonight, my Grandpa's guitar arrived at their house.

This is what it looks like. It's a 1956-1959 Fender Musicmaster. smile.gif

It does mean alot to me, he and I had the same musical spirit, I might try to teach myself to play a little. For a guy that has three guitars now I should at least try. smile.gif I probably will only keep this one with my special memorabila but I have to plug it into an amp at least once.

Yeah, you definitely gotta try it out! Maybe his spirit will help you learn to play it smile.gif (sorry, we've had a ghost theme goin' tonight).

Very nice keepsake though. The best keepsakes are the things you know somebody held dear to them.

You have 3 guitars and you don't know how to play???  AC should sign you up for some lessons as a Christmas gift.  wink

Very cool, Sparky! smile.gif

If you are interested at all in learning how to play but don't want to take "real" lessons, check out the eMedia Guitar Method computer software. I used the bass lesson and it was actually very good to help me get started. The cool part about this system is that it gets you playing along with songs on your computer right away which keeps it fun.

Thanks Web, does it work for lefties too? That has been my biggest reason I have never tried to learn I guess. But there are some guitar gods that are left handed. I just don't know where to start. I can't play right handed it doesn't register in the old brain pan. smile.gif

Yes, its works for lefties too. My wife has the earlier version of the software and she's left handed. There is an option to have it flip everything for lefties too. I would assume this later version still has that feature.

I had a friend that would gargle with water and say I am Iron Man and it sounded just like it.

hey sparky, this is kinda a bad pic, but if you can do this chord, you can do all sorts of rock stuff. its a rock power chord.

power_chord_tn.jpg

your pointer finger lies across all the strings, making a "bar". the other fingers go on the strings as shown (poorly) here. But you can do this all up and down the frets  and can figure out all kinds of songs. Baba-O-Riely is one that comes to mind...
