Hi, joeal-- yea, I've been practicing and earning those calluses. Not painful anymore, actually :) I've been trying to learn how to bend via tutorials on youtube and couldn't but er, obviously, too advanced for me. I can't wait to get an electric, even just a cheap one-- I can imagine how fun it is to play that.

Sam_J, interesting! I thought it was more of the bathroom acoustics giving the illusion that the voice sounds nicer because it's bouncing and blending the sound (meaning a tone deaf person would sound better as well). It turns out it just acts like a monitor then? The gift is within us :D lol. Well, since you're an expert, a follow up q. What is it about the bathroom? The material of the walls? Vs any other room like the bedroom, why does it sound better there, given same quietness and size?
