Thanks Tony

Thanks Tony

Your practice in the car shows a true commitment. I try to practice everyday and do the new lesson and work on old ones. I'll probably start  playing  at church after I finish going through LMG. Puts a lot on the plate to practice both. At least after putting before the Lord that's how I thought. 

Don't have a volume pedal. Should get one. A lot of on 10 players. It's probably best trying both. 

Next purchase, find the right amp for new Les Paul. Got to go carefully on that and do some research. Hope my wife's ok buying more music equipment. She's been great so far.

Have a blessed day. Keep jamming. 

the car/van practice was out of time utilization.

it didn't really kick into full gear till I moved up to guitarist in the choir. then I needed to practice the weekly songs as much as possible, so I utilize a certain amount of 'wasted' time like when the wife is shopping. there's nothing for me to shop for.. so I play.

volume pedal.. you don't need one. (yet or ever depending on you need)

amp's .. I'm a tube guy, they just sound the best.. a 5w tube amp and pretty well hold its own with more powerful solid state amps.

my 'overkill' Traynor YGL2 30w tube amp.. and I have the master volume at 1 and it's still too loud for my house.

a 1w tube amp will fill most living rooms just fine.

Yep I prefer tube amps also. It's like I need one for home and one to play out. Thanks for some pointers. I'm going to be picky  and economical simultaneous, if I can. I like them to be keepers if it works out.

No such thing as "wasted time" on us guitar players when working our music someway. Some days great some days not. Success isn't "not failing" it's "not giving up" it's "not quitting". We'll gain success as we continue going. The Lord wants to give us the desire of our hearts. It's a good heart to desire playing guitar. It comes from God.      

Tony,
I loaded it into Photoshop. Your original file was 1200 pixels wide by 1800 pixels tall @72 pixels per inch.  It was a 1.2 MB file.  The forum won't allow a file that large uploaded anyway but if it did the picture would take up 25 inches of display at the 72p/i!  Most users of the internet today have monitors that can handle 92 pixels per inch so that is what I tend to save as.  So I resized it to 92 and 800 tall x 600 wide.  That is going to be a nice size for display on the forum. Actually that is a little too big, 8 almost 9 inches tall, but still ok.  I should have made it about 6 inches tall.   The file is now about 400 KB.

When are you going to show the world?  We need a NGD post like the one I just did.  If you don't, I will have no choice but to delete your membership

Wow man your good at photo stuff. I should have taken a better photo, the glare makes it look worn, it's not. The mahogany top looks nicer than the photo i took. And where and how can post from my profile page. Sorry I'm not savvy with this process. Your a great help. Thank you very much. Please do NOT delete my membership. I doing my best to stay in good graces. I'll figure it out, hopefully.   

Tony, without looking I don't know what the size restrictions are on here.  But you'll need to load your file into a phot editor and resize it.  For  posting I usually resize to 92 ppi and 600 to 800 pixels maximum on the longest side.  If all else fails you can send it to me and I'm happy to resize for you.

Hi tony; Thanks...Actually I just have the Gibson Heritage Cherry ES 335.  I think it's BWillard that has the brand new ES335 in figured Blue.

Hi Neil. Cherry looks great. BWillard's figured Blue great. Can't go wrong with these guitars. Thanks.
