I just ordered my Dream Guitar.

[Fritzo]

So I just spent the last two days learning how to play Kashmir. I'm proficient enough to make it through a play along... 50% of the time. LOL

OMG it's like butter! This tune is so powerful and on this guitar it's amazing!

And the DADGAD tuning! Holy crap!

Try open E and do some Stones 😉

So I heard using open D with a capo to create open E puts less stress on the neck. Thoughts?

I love that they gave you candy and that there was a big bold sign to remind you that it is a GUITAR.

Are we going to get a video of you and Fritzo meeting up with your new fancy guitars and jamming together live?

Our lives have no meaning if that doesn't happen...you understand that, right?

Question:

Why is everything Tom Morello did in drop D so god damn fun and addicting to play???

Never did it, never had a problem with open E.

So today I've been jamming Killing in the name of, Wake up (Matrix flashbacks!) and Born of a Broken Man.

OMFG it's like guitar sex. Holy shit the raw fuckin power of it!!!

Then I drop down to DADGAD and belt out some Kashmir.

Fuck, this shit is orgasmic.

Why didn't I ever learn alt-tuning when I played 20 years ago???

No YouTube back then. Those alt tuning were guitar god secrets. I remember reading interviews of my guitar heroes in the 80's and they were all "I'd rather not give up how I play that because it's close to me!" and other BS.

Yeah....I used to play that on my acoustic back in college. My favorite is walking down the strings. I'm sure it'd take a few minutes, but I still remember the gist of how to play it...

Yep, so simple yet so brilliant. And once you get the right touch and timing it sounds just like it.

Holy shit that's a beautiful 12 string! I've always loved Gretsch guitars.

I've been coveting a Takamine G series natural 12 string acoustic for a while now. Only 650ish. I may spring for it next year.
