Guitars - Better than a Martin?
OK, I am getting obsessed with my guitar and guitars in general. A couple of days ago I got a chance to play guitar with some friends - and I got a chance to play a nice old Martin guitar. These just happened to be the same friends that inspired me to starting playing guitar about six months ago. I had so much fun watching them play guitar (and mandolin) around the campfire, I decided that I just had to get a guitar and learn how to play it.
In any case, that was last October… and for Christmas I bought myself a guitar. And I have been playing it almost every day ever since (except when I am traveling… it is hard to bring my guitar along on business trips).
In any case, I got a chance to get together with some of these folks this last weekend, and I brought along my guitar. This was really the first time I ventured out and tried to play my guitar with anyone. And these folks brought along their guitars and mandolins. One of them was a 12 string guitar, and one was a really nice old Martin guitar.
The 12 string was fun… really heavy, but that was a fun guitar and those 12 strings sure put out a lot of sound. And that Martin guitar sure was nice… but I like playing my Walden guitar better. Maybe (probably) it is just a matter of being familar… but I couldn’t wait to get my guitar back. I played the Martin for just long enough to not be rude.
