As a beginner so far I have learned to make some chords ring clear and can finally play and sing along with Horse With No Name, that took two months. Any way there is a place called sweet water in Indiana that has a big sale every year. If i am better and still playing I think I will purchase a new guitar. What guitars should I pick up and play while i am there. Does anyone have advice. Right now I know I want to check out a baby Taylor and a Martin d28 and Martin d35.
