Three on Thursday: The Guitar Edition

Sep. 22nd, 2011 at 11:12 AM

1. You guys, I got my new acoustic guitar! It was an early Christmas gift from my hubby*.

Isn't it beautiful?

2. Why, yes, that little Post-it reads: Don't Touch Guitar. That's because on the first day, my Little Guy "tuned" it for me, requiring about an hour and a half of me re-tuning it with my new digital Quik Tuner. He also dropped a pick inside it. Another long fishing out process.

3. Not to worry, Little Guy's getting a kid-size acoustic guitar on his birthday. We will be jamming together soon.

3 1/2. I'm revising my YA novel set in Hollywood. A new type of story for me, kind of a romantic mystery with some glamour on top. How's your writing going?

p.s. Random poll: just wondering, anyone else buy their own gifts ahead of time? Ahem.

*Which he was delighted to learn about upon its arrival. Check that off your list of things-to-do, hon. You're welcome.

Oh, it's beautiful! You obviously can play...how long did it take to learn? I'm getting a guitar for my birthday/Christmas present (from DH, but I'll pick it out) this year, and I've never played before.

Your YA sounds good!

Actually, I'm a beginner. I'm jumping in with my Yamaha QuickStart DVD and a few lessons at a local music store. I used to play trumpet, but this is a totally different beast. Can't wait to hear how your guitar playing goes. Thanks about my YA.

What fun! A new guitar and a new project. Both sound excellent and I'm wondering if there's some way to include the pick-in-guitar story in the YA? :)

Great idea, why not? He could serenade her with an acoustic guitar love song.
