I'm getting back into playing guitar!

 

Like the title of this post reads, I'm getting back into playing guitar! Yep... After almost a decade of not playing guitar I have finally decided to start playing again. I only ever quit due to lack of funding. You may ask what that has to do with playing guitar... Well, my original guitar and amp both crapped out on me years ago and I never had the funds to replace those things until quite recently. I finally saved up enough to get a decent guitar and amp and I did just that. I have spent months looking at different guitars in random price ranges and I figure for what I could afford I could get one in the low to mid range cost and that's what I did. Above, you will see the guitar I decided on. It is a PRS SE Custom 24. It's the low to mid range cost of the Custom series guitars from PRS and it's about what I was looking for concerning cost. I've never played a PRS ever in my entire life but a few guitarists that I admire play them so my thought was if it's good enough for them, it's good enough for me! Granted, my particular model isn't as nice as theirs but the way I see it, I'm not a pro guitar player anyway, I'm the sit in your room and jam alone type of guitarist so this will be fine for me.

The picture above is the Boss Katana Artist 100-Watt 1x12 amp I decided to get to go with my guitar. It fit what I was looking for. It isn't overly fancy nor is it something completely basic. It's pretty much exactly what I wanted to fit my playstyle. I'm happy with the choices I went with and for the kind of guitar player I am I feel like both fit me perfectly. This is the first time in a very long time that I was able to buy something nice for myself so it feels really damn good. I haven't played guitar in such a long time and now I will finally be able to get back into it and I'm excited! I know that i'll have to relearn everything because it's just been far too long.. but the way I see it? Better late than never! Over the years I have truly missed playing guitar because it was something I used to be so passionate about and now I can be once again! I suppose it's true what they say, good things come to those who wait. It's gonna be damn good to get back into playing. I'm definitely looking forward to it. Anyway, I just felt like sharing because I'm excited. It's not too often anymore that I get excited about anything so this is pretty cool for me. Here's to being able to rock out once again!

Never Forget...

 



To all who perished on September 11, 2001 and to all who have made the ultimate sacrifice while preserving freedom on behalf of their fellow Americans in the wake of that tragic day, I will never forget...
