My sons guitar teacher she is awesome a ramble 4 cups coffee so far

Last edited Mon Sep 17, 2018, 04:49 AM - Edit history (1)

She came to dinner yesterday with her Japan Stratocaster in hand. And we spent the afternoon jamming why I even sent her home with tomato sauce our neighbor gives us and vegetables we scored at farmers market and sausages and meatballs and spaghetti I made.

She is going to law school and I met her through friends of ours she rents a apartment from. Awhile back She needed work done on her strat and cash is tight for her so they sent her my way. Because I charge free , and that day she came and opened up her guitar case I was surprised to see a made in Japan strat a Greco ,as I collect mij guitars discovered them as kid in army west Germany.

I asked her where she got this beautiful guitar and she said her father bought it for her when she was twelve. Your father loves you young lady and has good taste I replied. Then I started showing her my collection of Japan Les Paul’s and strats. And a friendship was born that day between her and my wife and I. One reason she is far from home and she is our youngest daughters age and two we share a passion for exploring the fretboard. 43 years I been exploring the fretboard and I’m always open to learning.

And she started giving lessons as she graduated from college on string program as a cellists and decided this does not pay the bills. And decided to go back to law school, and so I decided to have our son become a student of hers because this child she is a natural on guitar. At 52 why I even sat in with her band at local brew pub after that all the young kids thought hey this old hippie is ok, in the pub that night that was pre naltrexone for my alcoholism.

Sunday was awesome we jammed as she is teaching our son now alternative tunings we were in open G yesterday so our son tossed out sister luck by the Crowe’s hold on son shine. Dad goes and finds sister luck on computer and we jam along with it. And after we jammed tossing out hammer Ons or just licks we all sat down for a spaghetti dinner it was a nice day.

But, I've been to hundreds of concerts. Dead, ABB, Wide Spread etc. Jam Bands mostly. And a good BG Festival is always fun. The campfire playing is the best.

My best friends are the people I've met there over the years.

Sakura acoustics? Cleaned up nice and gave $30 at a garage sale. I think they are called Law Suit Guitars.

Because a lot of people dealers try and say it is lawsuit guitars and it’s a fine line between bullshit and truth. As they blow the lawsuit stories up to try and make people buy.

I stopped at GoodWill and found a great hard shell case that fit perfect. Just a little wipe down and it looks like $50 case.
