I'm going through guitar purchase withdrawl

I made a thread here stating that I would not buy anything else related to my guitar until after Christmas(except lessons), after buying my amp. I am now wishing I would have said next month or something. lol. I have 3 things on my list already. A music stand, Ear phones for amp, and some music books in standard notation.

Don’t make promises you don’t want to keep, I guess.

Edit: Oh also, I would like an acoustic guitar eventually, but that can wait.

If there’s such a thing as a healthy obsession, you’ve got one with your guitaring.

Well stated @PinCushion!

Guitar can be a lifelong passion for you for sure.

It’s in second place for the thing I spend my most time on. The first is the forum.

I think the music stand is worth getting early. It’s pretty essential for a beginner

Oh…and a distortion headset which I can play any hour of the day. It plugs directly into the guitar and plays through the headphones.

I have

A rock jam electric

A rock jam amp

A boss distortion pedal

A fender squier Stratocaster

A boss Katana MkII 100 watt amp

Two learning books with 3 more on the way(purchased prior to my “no more” thread)

The problem is mostly that I bought all this in like less than 3 months. Was beginning to be a regular thing.

Nice gear!

My older brothers played in bands. I just started fooling around on their instruments in the basement and eventually taught myself how to play.

I used to get all this stuff from car boot sales

Probably about 10 years ago I paid £50 for a mint condition 1993 Fender Montara electro-acoustic

Wish I’d never sold it, but the ticket price online was about £300 at the time

Some of these places have people just getting rid of stuff they don’t want anymore for a bit of extra cash, and you can get bargains!

Dude I ‘m just bustin’. I’m your biggest fan, you’re movin’ along quite well if I may say so. That C chord is a tough mother, I was playing with it today myself and I really had to pay attention to get the notes to ring right. Your dedication and perseverance are second to none. Rock on dude! :grin::metal:

BTW my fat little hand likes to mute the 1st string (high E) I have to kinda arch it to prevent this
