To all you gear-heads out there:
I did it.
I pulled the trigger.
I made the switch.
Here’s the story. So, about 7 years about next month I was offered and took my first worship leading position. At the time I knew all of 3 chords on the guitar. I could barely remember my basic chords on the piano from the lessons I took as a kid. But, I could play bass. And, I had a little bit of passion. Honestly, it was a pretty risky move for the church that hired me to give me the job.
So, I bought an acoustic guitar. Angie hasn’t ever admitted to this next thing I’m going to say, but it’s her fault that I got so addicted to music & gear. After I accepted that job, we made the circuit of all the guitar stores in Indy. She told me I needed to get a good acoustic if I was going to be using it for my job. I argued with her (that’s the part she doesn’t remember) and tried to tell her I could borrow one from a friend for awhile. But, she insisted (she doesn’t remember that either). So, WE (key word) bought my Takamine. She’s a beaut! Stil have her. Still lover her! (Angie & the guitar)…
