Couple "friend deal" prices andI could take a couple off your hands pretty painlessly...Good Point!
Unfortunately, I Would Most Likely Die Before I Could Ever Could Get Everything Priced, Sold, Shipped So There Is That...
The Question Is Would I Be Trading One Pain For Another Pain?Couple "friend deal" prices andI could take a couple off your hands pretty painlessly...
No, if you're going harp, you're going to want the pain as it's really part of playing a good blues harp. Embrace it and roll!The Question Is Would I Be Trading One Pain For Another Pain?
Well, in that way we're alike - after very long open heart surgery (septuple bypass) the ring and pinky fingers on my left hand were numb. After a few months, they became too weak to play.
If I was single I'd call myself that and see if it attracted anyone besides great-grandmas who feel sorry for me.
My guitar is definitely too good now. It wasn't when I bought it. So it goes.Issue with great acoustic guitars, is that they amplify everything. When younplay great, they make you sound better. However if are not on top of your hame, they amplify mediocreness (is that a word?). You probably don't suck, your guitar might be too good.
Good news is, just reach the tipping point where the guitar amplifies again how great a player you actually are

I Am Sticking To My Bay Area Thrash Metal Musical Roots And Starting A New Thing...LOL.
Off day. We all have them. Tomorrow you‘ll sound great LesWhen last I checked, I was a pretty decent acoustic guitar player. OK, not a Tony McManus, but I could do an ad project and sound reasonably good. I'd never have bought my PS acoustic otherwise. Not that it'd have been wrong, just not something I'd have done.
But ever since Covid. I've played it only sporadically. I've concentrated on orchestral writing, and when I've played guitar, it's been mainly electric.
I've practiced the acoustic for the last couple of weeks trying to get the hands back in shape. Today I felt confident, and decided to record it and see how things sounded (I always think I'm brilliant until I hear playback). So I set up a mic, got the height just right, used the mic and mic preamp that have always sounded great with this guitar, and thought I'd be rockin' and rollin' like a champeen.
It was not to be.
Friends, when I heard playback, I wasn't just lousy, I was execrable.
Picking? Inaccurate. Timing? Marginal. Tone? Who could even tell with multiple failures to get an even, clean note. Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy. An embarrassment to myself and all of humankind!
If people needed qualify for a license in order to play guitar, I'd have had mine confiscated by the guitar police right then and there. If playing badly was an indictable offense, I'd be doing time.
I have some work to do! I just hope it's not too late and I haven't lost it permanently!
Ya think playing an acoustic is easy after playing an electric for a long time, I had the same experience….try it with old arthritic hands.. You haven’t lost it, you just haven’t found it back yet!
