It makes my fingers hurt.....

I'm doinking around on YouTube and run into this old gem.  The first song I learned to play on the guitar, my S&H Green Stamp guitar.  It makes my fingers hurt just thinking about it.  LOL

My Mom took me to a pawn shop and I bought my guitar for $10 in 1963 or 1964. I was in high school. Boy I know what you mean about fingers hurting.  I think my first song was El Paso. Never got past learning about 7-8 basic chords.  I sanded the finish off the guitar, used my woodburning tool and engraved/burned in my girlfriend's name, thereby naming it Cathy Lou. Then I coated it with polyurethane.

I made two mistakes back in those days when I went off to college. I lost track of the guitar and let her get away!

Happy Aquariuming,

Hey Buckaroo....err Dennis....I remember S&H Green Stamps.  Wetting all those stamps with my Mom and sticking them to the pages of those little books. Lol.  Now that's a memory.  Then there were also "Gold Bell Gift Stamps".

Do you still play guitar?
When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because those weirdos are your tribe.  (Sweatpants & Coffee)

Well, let's see . . My favorite Buck Owens tune is his last #1 hit, Made in Japan. First tune I ever played was So Afraid of Losing You Again, by Charlie Pride. But, my all time favorite tune in the world is Borrowed Angel by Mel Street. I play it every time I get the guitar out.

Guitars . . . . . I've had a bunch of them over the years. Now I have just two. I kept my 1973 Sakura 12 string and in 2007 I took the plunge, after thinking about one for close to forty years, and purchased a Martin D 12-28. You can hear the difference.
