Les Paul
I've gone and done it. We have a new baby in our family, her name is Les Paul.
I got a new Les Paul Standard electric guitar just this evening. I've plugged her into my Pocket Line 6 and started rocking off.
I've taken time off since getting it only to write this post, and to record this little tune. It's not the shredding extravaganza that I'm planning, but it will have to do for now.
Thanks to ISpyShanghai for the recommendation, it was the funny shaped guitar that I saw hanging in the window that made me think "Hey, isn't that the same guitar as that guy online has?" that made me go into the shop in the first place.
As I said, a short post, and a short tune. The tune is here: http://media.libsyn.com/media/maxiewawa/golden_valley.mp3 , and I'm sorry everything isn't longer, I have a cool new guitar (as I just said!) and I'm getting to know it.
The tune is actually "Chattanooga Choo-Choo", but Australians my age and older will always know it as "Golden Valley Fruit Snack" from an ad which sold them.
