Years ago made a thread for guitar. I got a telecaster. Love the instrument but often I just want a nice lap guitar. I ended up getting a nice cheap classical guitar. A Yamaha C40II.
Hoping to play country, folk guitar, blues guitar, classical guitar on it obviously.

Probably the biggest tip I've learned in my time playing guitar: playing and practicing with eyes closed. It makes a lot of sense, too. When I was young and played in band, especially with saxophone. I mean, saxophone is uniquely positioned so it's hard to even look at your keys so you learn early early where each one is and you naturally master just feeling around the instrument. With trombone you're always looking at the sheet music. Learning where you are within the scope of your instrument and mastering placement it's probably the first hump of mastering any instrument. It gets to a point where in High School you memorize complicated music while doing intricate movements in marching band and you're definitely not looking at your hands. In band class you're not looking at your positioning and all that you're just reading the sheet music. With guitar chords and the fretboard are so precise that you feel an urge to look but this works as a hindrance in progress. True progress comes with doing scales and chords progressions and changes with your eyes closed. This is a big reason I want a non-electric acoustic/classical guitar. So I can just stare at my ceiling at night while I practice shredding without the need of electronics. Just me and the music. I have a feeling I can progress to advanced guitarist very fast this way.
I'm at a point now where I know my way around the entire fretboard and know the note. Classical guitar will take me to the next level. I have benefited by taking my classical musical training and applying it to guitar. I never did the tab shit and it has paid off wonders.

I really liked guitar before this but now I love it. I almost don't consider electric guitar to be guitar. It's electricity. Acoustic/classical is guitar, the instrument, in its pure form and I cannot get enough of it. I can practice it in bed and not worry the noise. I can play it while watching TV and control my sound while still being quality enough to not be muted like an unplugged electric. Cannot wait to get started learning finger pickin' and playing blues on this. This reminds me of being a kid and being enthralled with sax where I got to a year or two worth of skill in just a few months because I was obsessed and it was all I did all summer. I think I could get that motivation with acoustic but not electric and I don't know why. It's just more fun and dynamic!

What I like to do is take my acoustic to parties, open a bottle of red wine, then when everyone's having fun chatting or dancing I pull out my guitar and sing Wonderwall. I wear a beanie and sing the lyrics really slowly with my eyes closed so everyone knows how soulful I am. I have never had sex

No it isn't. Hosts love it when I sit in the middle of their living room and make it all about me

I personally want to get good enough to join or make a band. Lol playing music with others is so fun and I really miss it.
