Feeling poetic
A blog can be useful for
Typing out some lines
Haiku poems are strange
They don't even have to rhyme
Just count syllables:
Five in the first line
Seven in the second line
And five in the third
At GLUE we're doing
Biblical Theology
Haven't done homework :(
Picked up dad's guitar
A few months back and have been
Trying to play it
Just found out this week
It is not an acoustic
It's a classical
Feeling stupid now
Probably should have asked him
What guitar it was
Didn't know there was
A difference between them
I guess I do now!

I love your haiku!!! It made me laugh out loud :)
as far as I'm concerned, the only difference bw acoustic & classical guitars are in name. "A rose by any other name..."
True, acoustic guitars have narrower necks, with fretboards that are have dots to help you count. The other major difference is that they have steel strings which hurt more!!!
You can get a wider variety of sound from a classical, so they're the more refined version of acoustic guitars (which are used to play rock music).
I'm learning the guitar as well... I swear I've developed little calluses on the tips of my left hand... oh well, at least i write with my right hand in exams!! :)
I really need to do something about all these anonymous commentors...I mean I can kind of guess who you are (i think :P) but it'd be nice to know for sure. Come up with a nickname and sign off with it!
Oh yeah, and I was doing to ask...where do you strum on a classical? I know you strum over the soundhole on an acoustic, but with a classical the bridge is further from the hole, so if you try to do palm muting and strum over the hole at the same time, it doesn't work. So i've assumed that you strum slightly to the right of the hole on a classical. If not...well, doesn't matter, I'm sure I'm doing a whole lot of other things completely wrong too!
Can't you tell?? It's Punny posting the first one, and I'm leach posting this one... mwahahahaha... quack...
well I *was* going to do as suggested and sign off *properly* with my name...
but my identity's been stolen *again* so tough...
oh yeah, and about playing guitars... I tried playing my guitar at different places... I can't really tell the difference if it's directly over the sound hole or not! Is it just me?!
but playing slightly to the right of the centre of the hole makes it easier to mute the strings closer to the bridge.
- QUACK!
I don't get what she means, you know Viv should set up a Spam page so we can just go on in and post there, so we don't have to go to separate pages to post on 2 different conversations. Eh Viv? Eh? Eh? Eh?
And by the way, reading the stuff on Maxamox (sp?) and reticular formation and ECGs are creeping me out. That's what I have to know dammit, *sigh*. Yes I won't be killing anyone anytime soon.
Pun, you can start your own SPAM page if you want :P
Trees, so is your guitar a steel string acoustic? What kind of stuff are you playing? Who/what are you learning from?
Good idea pun, I think we should have a spam page so as to avoid taking over the blog with random comments.
but hey, this post is still related to guitars, so not *too* random!! Nope mine's a classical, so 3 metal strings & 3 clear ones. (i'm sure they have more technical names than that but i'm a newbie)
I play whatever i find on the internet. Usually my train of thought goes like this: i hear a song, think I'd like to play that, go on the net and search for the guitar tab. Then discover it is amazingly, incredibly difficult. Repeat process about 10 times for each playable song I eventually find...
the last one I found was Stairway to Heaven, which is a really satisfying song to nail, and the last one before that was... shock horror... our leaving song at school, Time of your Life... and it made me get all sentimental! what's wrong with me?!
So for the time being, I'm self taught... maybe it's not such a good idea?! I mean, my mum's teaching herself piano, and I've learnt to make a speedy exit whenever she opens the piano lid...
anyway!!! i'm off to work out the difference between permeability and permittivity (and you think maxamox is bad?!?)
- Trees (how'd you know it was me when i never fessed up?)
Come on Viv, set up a spam page, spam page, spam page, see see Trees agreed..... *puppy eyes*
