Thanks everyone for your feedback on my new guitar as well as for your kind words. I can be real and admit that there is massive room for growth which is part of the reason I put it out there.

Sweet sounds! Thanks for taking the time to record it and post!

So pretty! Thanks for learning it and posting!

Thanks for the smiles! And very well played, I might add! I miss the old days of Bing, Frank and Dean. Sure their heyday was before my time, but we were excited to watch all those fun movies on TV!

Beautiful!

I cried for days when Stevie Ray died, it was worse than John Lennon!
Nice groove!

You have done well to recognize this truth early in your journey. This well help you so much going forward, you can’t let the (big) challenges beat you up. How do you eat an elephant? One bite at time. Take small bites, enjoy them and go back for more!

So I am not able to reproduce this bug on my computer. It sounds like you are saying that “both Learn and Play videos get loaded when clicking on Play”. I find that the Play video loops just fine without anything else added.

There are a lot of pretty neat travel guitar options. I picked up a 3/4 (probably more like 4/5) size on Amazon for $200, it sounds amazing so I’m really pleased but there’s another called a Nova Go that’s only $109.

I want to update this image. I traded that guitar back in and recently got a new one. I like it a lot more because while it has a similar feel to that Lava, it has a much fuller sound and since it didn’t come with the fancy electronics it was less than half the price!

I was always uncomfortable playing on a full size acoustic, if that is what your Fender is then I understand fully. I’m not a small person, I’m an almost 6 ft tall man but found it awkward to get my arms around the 42” Takamine. I can actually reach around but it digs into my arm and even bothers my chest when I’m playing it.
So I’ve tried a couple of mini or parlor sized guitars if you will. The one I’m sticking with currently is 38″ and has a much narrower body (14″ instead of 16″). It’s slightly thinner too, all resulting in a very light and compact acoustic. It’s more comfortable than my electric because the electric is way heavier. You can check my profile for info on the guitar.

Yes it was a bit of an early ride and I also just switched to attempting the barre chords, having practiced with the 2 finger B7 on fret 2 and D minor.

Thanks for your kindness!

It’s a hybrid. The top of the guitar is carbon fiber, the rest is mahogany. It is super light and very comfortable to hold. My Lava guitar was similar only the body on it was fully carbon even thinner, maybe 3 inches while the Rising G1 is 3 and 1/2. I like the tone on this new one more, it really resonates even though the body is so much smaller than a full size. And the action on it is really nice, no need to setup and that was the problem with the Lava, it needed setup so I sent it back.
Lava Me Air: $500 + $125 for setup
Rising G1: $200 and nicely setup already
