Hey everyone, Not sure if this "falls" (see what I did there) in with the Autumn theme but let me know what you think. Reached session 6 in L&M and I decided to do Scarborough Fair.

I’ve had an ES335 or similar on my wish list for a while now. I’ve been keeping my eye out for a decent used one, but wasn’t willing to pay a “vintage” price. While in Memphis the other day, I dropped into Guitar Center to just see if they perhaps had an Epiphone I could try. They did have a couple, but also had this one Gibson hanging on the wall. After giving it a try, I decided this was it. So after a bit of indecision, I decided (with my wife’s approval and encouragement) to go ahead and bite the bullet. I’m telling myself that this one now completes my collection - but we all know better! I don’t think it has made me a better player, but my mistakes sure sound nice!

I have been watching the prodigy Marcin Patrzalek just maul that guitar with his playing. At times it seems like he is playing the guitar without strumming or plucking with his right hand. what is that technique? i just started learning and am awestruck by it. is he like just pressing the fret super hard? picking the fret?

Very nice - congratulations!

That is a great choice, Gary, and a lovely story too, letting the guitar speak to you as you tried it out. I trust your wife will not regret encouraging you to buy this one.

That's a beauty. Congrats, and play it in good health!
