Bought a guitar the first week of this past March. Beautiful instrument – way beyond any skill I may develop – and I picked up software to use with Xbox for lessons (Rocksmith 2014). I have been practicing pretty regularly and though I haven’t mastered even one song yet I can hear and feel the progress, and I’m really enjoying the process.
So tonight I’m working on “Sixteen Saltines” and I broke my first string. Hadn’t thought I’d ever play with enough enthusiasm to do that. I didn’t think to buy extras when I bought the guitar (an Epiphone Les Paul Standard PlusTop Pro) so it will be off to the guitar shop tomorrow after work and then home to YouTube to figure out how to restring it.
