HI My Creative Friends,
My name is Larry and I live in Costa Mesa, CA. I am not exactly a New member but I have posted very little if anything. I have been playing on and off for 10 years and have been sticking with it the past few months. Got my E and A bar chords down and working on mastering the Pentatonic shapes and spanning across the fretboard and connecting the dots, in major and minor of each note. Can get all over the fretboard in G and A and working toward more every night.
I am also working with a Beat Buddy to provide timing and help with creativity, and also working with a looper for the same... trying to become more and more creative when playing on my own.
I am in love with hte Taylor Mahogany sound and I want a 322ce with an armrest. Need the armrest and the smaller shape due to shoulder strain. Even as a taller person (6'1") i feel the strain from big deaeds across my shoulder. Bevelled armrest has been a bit of help but this is hard to find in Mahogany. I love the SANTA CRUZ OO 1929, and would be a dream to get one with a bevelled arm rest. If anyone knows of a boutique or small hop luthier that can make this, please let me know! Would be a dream come true!
Anyway, I play reggae, singer songwriter stuff and I try to play blues... love acoustic blues... and hope to get a song or two down with some tasty licks. Would love to meet up with other players in the OC area in So Cal.
