Well, I recently picked up a new guitar and I'm very excited about it. For one thing, I had a very positive experience when I picked it out. We have a fantastic music shop in town, and they were a tremendous help. You have to pay a little bit more than online, but it was well worth it. Besides, if I was shopping online, I never would have ended up with the guitar I picked out. Actually the guitar kind of picked me out. It had a unique sound that I couldn't get away from. I also loved the way it looks.
I was just saying the other day that I'm happy because right now I'm in the middle of a musical growth period. It feels like most of the time you are stuck in a plateau, but occasionally you really feel like you're consistently getting better. That's an awesome feeling.
I don't know how to do it yet, but soon I hope to figure out how to post demos that I record at my place. I'd like to occasionally tack them onto my blog for you to sample and comment on if you like. I think that would be fun and a great way to share my creations. I think it will also encourage me to create more often.
I could have had a Martin or a Guild, but I got hooked on the sound of this guy pretty fast. And the reviews were all amazing. So that was that. Oh, and RIP to my Fender DG-7. Thanks for all the memories.

Good luck. You'll have to demo it for me sometime.
I just recorded a brief NIN inspired tribute based on Hurt. It's pretty vanilla but I'm glad that I can press down some keys and make the sounds I'm making. I can't wait until I have some legitimate equipment for this.
