DA loves guitars and guitar music! I did not know of this! She and I do love to sing songs to the radio, to CDs, and also to piano, but I did not know of the guitar.
I fussed with her for she did not tell me of this. I could have been learning to play the guitar all this time also for her! She will be 95 the next month. We do not have very much time for this!
I put her in the car and we drove to a music store. A nice salesman was very patient with us. DA wanted to hear the tones of the guitars and so he played and played so very many. It was finally decided. DA thinks electric guitars are exciting! I never thought of this! I know she likes the old American and British rock music, but not as this!
I now have a nice Ibanez Performance acoustic guitar. This is used but DA liked the sound of it. It surely does have a beautiful tone of it. I also have a Fender Stratocaster, also used. It is pink! I had to get a chord book and learning books for both of these. The Stratocaster is electric, with the solid body of it. I found a nice Crate Stereo Chorus amplifier for it. It is also used.
Now I must learn these! I have learned four chords and two rhythm strums on the Ibanez, but not so much for the Stratocaster.
I can play these by listening, I think, if I know of the chords. "Nights In White Satin" by the Moody Blues has only 6 chords of it: Em, D, C, G, A. and F. I think I may be able to play this in maybe three days if I work hard. These are basic chords of it.
I plugged the Straocaster to the amplifier and it squealed! The volume selector was up too high on the Stratocaster. It scared Azia and the cats ran away!
I have so very much to learn. I would rather that DA has said of this sooner!
