Gawd. He's SO CUTE. (my guitar teacher)

I demand proof!

I demand proof!

Haha, I'll have to bring a camera to my next lesson. That might be awkward, except it's Germany and there's no word for awkward, so it's ok.

This reminds me

I need to find time to teach guitar lessons

Every day lost is a pu**y lost! hahahaha.

Hah! This thread just reminded me that my daughter quit going to guitar lessons because she was creeped out by the way her guitar instructor looked at her. She's taught herself to play instead.

Hahah. How old is your daughter again? and was he a creepy old guitar teacher? or a hot young one like Mish?

I always had female violin teachers from the age of 7 to 20. Probably better that way.

She was 14 at the time, and she would have called him "creepy and old". I think he was in his late 20s.

God. All I've been doing for the last 4 days is playing. I can't tear myself away from the guitar long enough to make toast, let alone real food. I call it the "guitar diet".

He's going to let me know when he next has a concert. I'm gonna be a groupie. (just kidding... not doing the pursuing anymore...)

One of my strings just broke. (The D, not as much fun to joke about.) Thank God guitar strings aren't expensive, if one of my violin strings broke right now I'd have to not eat for 4 days to pay for a new one. But my bedtime ritual of playing guitar (well, all-day ritual really) has been shattered and now I can't practice and impress cute german guitar boy (that's his new nickname, they all need nicknames.)

The D string is always the first to break, I don't know why. Maybe because it's the thinnest of the wrapped strings. If your G string breaks (violin or guitar or otherwise) be sure to send us the picture!

<---- smack.

Luckily violin G strings rarely break. How often are you supposed to change guitar strings?

If you play insanely, about once a month ... twice a year is fine for most.

Grrrr. The string I got has a loop end and I need a ball end! And the music stores are closed till Monday!!!



edit: the bright side is, I have discovered that with minor modification, "Blackbird" can be played without the D string.

[lovesjoyajm]

Oh, it's insanely easy to put on a D string without a ball end. Why didn't you tell me, Carl???
