Nice dude, sounds great.
I really enjoyed your playing. Your style is odd but cool, do you play a lot of Classical Guitar?

Thank you very much!

No, I don't play classical (however I think I'd like to give it a try). That's interesting though, what bit did you got that impression from?
I really like jazz, but that stuff is still hard for me.

The way you hold the guitar and some of the voicings, its not your usual electric guitar player approach.

That's nice to know. I have my left hand in "classical" position because I need it to get my chords clean, it's probably because my fingers are too short and little :oops: Could you probably have any tips for me? :lol: I find it much more comfortable to play when my thumb is over the neck (I use it to mute or fret 6th string), but that way I can't do bar chords. Wish I had Jimi's fingers! He could bar 5 lower strings with his index finger and thumb hanging over the 6th string.

bt: so awesome dude. it sounds exactly how i remember. it would appear that you like it, you definitely can play it. i miss that bridge pickup!

really nice man. it makes me happy that it went to someone who enjoys it. keep her shiny and pass it on 'round here when you're ready to sell! i know there's plenty who'll still be interested!

No, other than carry on as you are. DO NOT conform to any style or technique! Trust me ;)

It almost makes me feel bad that I have it, because it looks like it had a great value for you. I'm very sorry that it went the shitty way with shipping... You can trust me that this guitar will get the best treatment a guitar can get from me, and if I ever consider to let it go it definitely goes to shortscale.

I've watched that vid 3 times now and the more I watch it the sexier I find that guitar. I need to get me a red one now.
