@Alteredgoods ,The nice thing about buying an inexpensive guitar is they still have a lot of value when it comes to trade-in value at some guitar stores. I shop at Guitar Center. With a trade-in they will give you 15% off a new guitar. soooo….. say you find a nice little GSMini for $1000, using that $60 guitar just became $150 off on a new guitar, plus they will give you something for the trade-in itself. I guess you could say you are actually saving money for the future when by buying that $60 guitar.

@mcarlson_sb , it sounds like you have a good routine going for yourself. Just keep the guitar out where it’s easy to get too. Could you get a travel guitar to take with you? i have a small Washburn Rover that has a pretty solid case. It’s cloth, but styrofoam surrounds the guitar. I swear i can drop it off the side of a building and i think it would be ok. But tossing it in the backseat isn’t a worry. I don’t know about flying with it? I know there are size requirement for taking on a flight. @Moonhare , I think you have a Washburn Rover, do you have any flying experience with it?

@Timbothirroul , I just looked at your picture you attached. What kind of guitar is that? I have never seen a cut way like that. Pretty cool.

@JadeSilverwing, I do have a tuner on my guitar, but in most cases I use a tuner that I found online. It’s called InsTuner Free – Chromatic Tuner. You can switch it between Chromatic Tuning and Tone Generator. for Iphone or Ipad. If it’s on your IPHone there is a good chance you’ll find it when needed. I also use it for my voice. I’m sure you and your child would have fun with that. Try to hit the hit notes or low notes. ahhhhhhhhh 🙂

@chuckson , here are a couple of ‘cheat sheets’ for you. I don’t remember who posted these but here they are to share again.

@David_Leo , a very good point

Thanks, I kept my log-on name the same, i was hoping members would recognize the name. I’ll have to add a picture on my profile.

@John_Hall I have guitars everywhere. If I see them, I’ll pick it up and play.

I probably should have said a 78 on 33 speed. But, I didn’t want to date myself too much. 🙂

I don’t have any problems with self-discipline. I worked from home for a living for years. Now, I think I have my sights straight on what I want to accomplish in the next 10 years (you always need a goal to be successful at anything). The hand holding is done, I can do this. I wish I lived a little closer to my grandkids that I could help them get into guitar. Teaching always makes the knowledge stick. What I will miss is the comments for help, or comments on new guitar equipment. I’m still thinking about getting a looper that the @the-old-coach was talking about the other day.

@Philb, smart boy there. Yeah, I thought about contacting support about the lifetime. I had joined about 3 months before the big remodel of site. During the change there was a few months that everything ran crappy and there were so many changes, I got hesitant about getting the lifetime. Now that everything is back in working order I’m sorry I didn’t take the plunge. Don’t get me wrong, the changes made the site more professional, The site is easier to manipulate. Sure, I miss some of the old stuff but, it’s not a garage website anymore. It has really taken a step up. Answering these comments, i know i’m going to be really sad when I leave.

probably not, but, I do plan on playing better. Really going to be pushing myself before my arthritic fingers close up on me.

Thanks @darcelle, I wish I would have just bought the lifetime. TAC will still be around I can always join back up. I was just going through all my ‘pay’ sites and kicking them to the curb.

@John_Hall That is a lot of guitars. I mostly use my Taylor 812ce, I think i could actually downsize to the one if i had to. 🙂

@James H. It never hurts to look around at other sites. I have a list of sites that I like, and write why I like them. That way it is an easy look up in the morning just what I want to do. TAC has a lot of good ideas and the site is great. But, this year, I went through and quit a lot of ‘pay’ sites that I use. Just happened TAC hit the chopping block with the others. I can always come back. This might just be a rest. Hey…. I just started a little bit more of flatpicking and bluegrass. My playing bluegrass sounds more like a 45 record on a 33 speed thou (Gosh, doesn’t that date me). Thanks for your comment. :
