Hey everyone... Been meaning to learn how to play for years just never got around to it. I've got a GS Mini 2011 and a 414CE sitting in my living room just begging to be played. I guess I'm going to try and learn with that Lean and Master guitar course. Then when I get good enough I may just go out to the beach and play while watching the sunset.
Anyone have tips for a new player that they are willing to share?
Oh and I may have a little GAS going on... I've seen pictures of the SB Koa and it looks beautiful but I can't find it anywhere since they stopped making them.

Welcome Doc, There's a whole bunch of Slack Key masters out your way. Good music camps going on too, several times a year. From my screen name, you can see what I play.
What island?
-
Welcome to the forum Doc, couple of nice guitars you have there. I could not think of a better place to practice my guitar than in Hawaii on the beach, go for it.
-
Welcome Doc. You have a fine taste in guitars, like me ;).
-
Welcome. And don't wait until you can play like Segovia to take your guitar to the beach!
-
Hi Doc. Welcome to the UTGF. Let us know how that guitar course works out. Hanging around here actually motivates me to play more. It's contagious. My advice: Pick 'em up and play 'em. Do it often. Enjoy. :)

I have been to Hawaii a few times, and was just wondering which island (county) are you from?

I live on Oahu about 20 minutes form Honolulu... I'm actually from NYC
-
So when you were speaking of taking your guitar to the beach I assume you will be going to Waikiki, or is that to crowded? and you have a lesser known beach to go to.
-
Tourists go to Waikiki, usually go up to one of the beaches at the north shore or in Kailua. Getting into Waikiki is a hassle and parking is terrible

welcome in Doc. you should probably change your name or your going to be doing a LOT of sore shoulder consultations ! ;D ;D ;D
another good place to start learning is Justinguitar.com. i found it a great resource for lessons and motivation. made it more fun to learn than the usual "dry" lessons i tried.
take it to the beach tomorrow ! that in iteslf will be a great motivator and who knows, maybe you'll find a friend to learn with.

No but I I will accept taylor guitars as payment in full
-
If the copay covers round-trip airfare, sign me up. Aloha. :)
-
$20 copays. Hmmmmmmm... Bet you wish HMO stood for Hawaiian Mouth Organ instead of a way to make a living.

Actually don't take copays at my practice. It's just one of those things

is that the new 414ce ???
it's hard for me to tell, but i have feeling it's the same guitar i linked to because it's gone from their site now

That is the new 414... When I get back from done later I'll be playing out on the balcony overlooking Pearl Harbor... Can't get any better than this
-
Beautiful Doc. Enjoy your evening on the lanai. I used to live near there, in the high rise at Pearlridge Gardens and Tower. Our view was of the old Kam Drive In theater.

Small world... I live in the Pearl II on Koauka Loop and run the Pearl Harbor trail several times a week.

Sent you a PM Doc. Now, get off the forum and go play that new guitar!

Didn't get the PM but I did go down to the beach for a bit
-
Tell me Doc, are the beaches crowded on Christmas day? ???
-
Doc, Re-sent message.
-
that is a beautiful mental image you left me Doc. i'm sitting in norther NY looking down at 3 inches of ice with snow slightly camoflaging it. i'd rather take my chances with sharks( and i understand that all of them don't reside in the water where you live) than go running in this stuff. when was the last time you had to spend 2 hours attacking your own car with a hammer just to get the door open?

Nope not at all... well depending on the beach really

So I was born and raised in NYC and did college in upstate NY and then med school in Erie, Pa... I know what you are experiencing and it sucks.
But here is a picture to make you a little jealous, it's a picture straight from my balcony taken about 5 minutes before I hit the post button... and yes if you look closely you can see the USS Arizona Memorial just behind the bridge 1/3 of the way from the right hand border of the picture.

That's a lulu of a picture.
-
Well Doc I hope you will soak up a little sun for me. The picture is great, it brings back fond memories of my trips to the Hawaiian Islands.
-
beautiful pic Doc.. i am indeed jealous ! only been to Hawaii once. i was stuck on base for 2 weeks and not allowed to leave the flight deck(line.. codeblue). nor was i allowed to talk to any indigenous personnel. not the greatest of stays but someday i'll get back there.... and i know where to borrow a 414ce ! just a quick walk, a $20 copay and she's all mine for a few hours !!! ;D
