@Ice9 Really nice looking Gretsch! I'll bet it sounds and plays every bit as nice. Thanks for sharing the photo with us.
Thankyou
It's a departure from what I'm used to but really liking it so far. I've always wanted one.

Hi Six, I'm still lurking here from time to time but not so often these days. Only gear from this year so far is my Gretsch that my wonderful partner surprised me with. She has as many guitars as I do so she totally gets it 😁

The very first thing I did after deciding to try this fingerstyle thing. Was buy Steve's L&M Fingerstyle course. It took me I think 8 months at 3 hours a day to get through it. While trying to learn some of the lessons I would say to my teenage son, who was studying at his desk across from me. "Joe, this guy is killng me".
So....not easy if that is the first thing you try, but well worth the time and the best course I have ever taken.
That's really nice playing. If that's you singing you also have a great voice. Reminded me a lot of Cat Stevens of whom I'm a huge fan. Looks like the hard work paid off.

According to legend, there was a road in Cambridge UK called Laundry Lane which was home to many people with the surname Arnold and as such became known as Arnold Lane by the locals. One of these was called John Arnold who was a small time crook and together with producing illicit alcohol, his "thing" was stealing high end clothing from clothes lines to resell. John Arnold was known to Roger Waters and was the inspiration for the song. I don't know how much of this is actually true but it's a story I've heard more than once.

David Gilmour’s black strat was retired in 1986. It was on display at a Hard Rock Cafe in Dallas Tx. It was unprotected and apparently anyone could access it. When he got it back in 1990 it was damaged and the only original part was the pickup selector switch.
When I read that I was rather shocked. It would have become a million dollar guitar. I was also surprised his net worth was only $ 180,000,000.
I have the book, signed by his guitar tech. Such an interesting read. The Hard Rock Cafe was apparently under the impression that they owned it and Gilmour had quite a battle getting it back.

What’s more surprising is Buddy Guy’s net worth is “only” 2.5 million
I wonder how he manages? 😅

I read somewhere that Gilmour found the time signatures too tricky for the solo so they went with 4/4 for it. For the record, he supports Arsenal Football club which is based in London, UK

I'll guess it's an Epi LP Custom

In my opinion, a Tele has a tone that's difficult to replicate with another style of guitar which is why I have one in my arsenal. Mine is great to play and never had any issues with it.

Of course, I'd be happy to help if I can though I'm no expert. These are my two basses. The Yamaha long scale and a cheap (but lots of fun) short scale bass. The short scale bass feels very much like a six string in your hands and is (for me) easier to play so I would suggest she tries both to see which she prefers.

A bass guitar!?!? @Ice9 are you a bass player? Want to be a bass player?
In eiter case, enjoy it.
It's always nice to have one or two
My partner plays too so we have 17 guitars between us and now two basses. I must admit I do enjoy playing bass now and then for a change.

Guess I'm lucky that my Mrs has as many guitars as I do 😅

I use a Line6 Pod HD pro x for everything these days and certainly wouldn't go back to a real amp. Digital modelling has come a very long way these last few years to the point where I can no longer tell the difference. I love the convenience that it gives me, just turn it on and there's the tone you love with no tweaking and fiddling. As Gotto say's, more time to play guitar.

The guy that runs 10s guitars is one of the better quality Aliexpress Chinese guitar makers and he crops up regularly in several forums that I visit. That said I have read of a few people that have been disappointed and it seems his customer service is non existent so it would certainly be a gamble. I'd agree with Randy and look at Epiphone instead. They really are at the top of their game at the moment. If you can get Harley Benton guitars by Thomann where you are then I would most certainly recommend you look there too.

Why would you turn up your guitar volume all the way up and then adjust your amp volume and tone.
You have no where to go on the guitar except down
Turn your guitar volume and tone to 5.
Then adjust the amp volume and tone.
Now you have somewhere to go with the guitar controls
I'd agree with you if you're playing clean tones only. For more overdriven tones, if the volume is set to 10 it's way easier to get your amp to break up and way easier to clean it up when you need to by rolling the volume off. Set to 5 in this case wouldn't work so well.

That's what it's all about
great stuff. Thanks for posting.

Any videos of you guys? ... I'd love to see some

I steer clear of anything Digitech mine also sounded awful. I've just traded my old and trusty Pod xt Pro to a Pod HD Pro x and couldn't be happier. Tweaking it is simple with the PC app and its great fun playing with the "pedal" settings.
I think its very important to find "your tone". Learning to play is so much more rewarding and inspiring when you like what you're hearing instead of some "plinky plunky" notes in the right order. When I bought my new Pod it took me 3 days to find the tone i was after, but so worth the effort because now its there instantly whenever I want it.

He used a speaker with a tear in it to get that tone. Gotta love Link Wray.
