I want my dad's guitar
Everyone comments on what a dream it is to play. I learnt on that guitar.
My uncle has commandeered it, but it is NOT his and I will have it!!
(I stuck a pencil through it when I was about 7- the only time my dad ever smacked me - so it bears my mark.)

i had a 12 string on long term loan
from my dad in law. One of the few downsides to divorce is I don't get to play it now

i don't play well anyway
so I suppose to people with ears it's no loss. I might get a cheap acoustic sometime soon to practise on

cheap acoustics can be quite good these days
lot better than when I started out.

12 strings are nice. bastard to restring though. took me an hour and a half the first time I did it...

I'm proper shit
but it's enough to be able to make a bit of accompaniment if I'm having a warble.

I love guitars
I need more. I was in my favourite shop earlier, and there was literally nothing there that I wanted though. It's unsettling.

I'd love a big Gretsch
but it would be rude of a crap player like me to even touch it.

I'm not a fan of that type
my mate has an Epiphone electro-acoustic job and I don't get on with it at all. goes out of tune all the time when I play it

I love jangly ones
Like Richard Hawley's

that's exactly the sort I mean
listened to that Paul Simon song btw. It is a great one, just didn't know the name!
