HELP MEEE/NEED ADVICE PART TWO: GUITAR LISTING
RAPatton, Rodfather, MVB (Curmudgeon of FF) and 3 other people liked this
So, yeah, here's one guitar I'm looking at buying... let me know what you all feel about it. DESCRIPTION: "I've got (original owner) a wonderful sounding and good looking Fender DG-11 SB 6 string guitar in sunburst glossy finish. This was my first acoustic guitar and it's served me wonderfully as I've taken good care of it. I've moved onto an amplified acoustic and no longer need this one and want it to go to a good home. It's the perfect guitar if you are just learning - was for me! In addition to the guitar I've got a shoulder strap and a soft case / gig bag (minor scuff marks) that is slightly padded with an exterior pocket and backpack styled shoulder straps. I also still have the spare bridge, peg and neck wrench for adjusting the truss with instructional sheet. And finally - since I don't know how long the strings have been on it (which still sound good anyway), I've got a spare set of Martin 80/20 bronze light gauge strings I've thrown in. Oh - yeah - and a quick release style black capo too (as

Dunno. I used to play trumpet, so I'm useless here.
- Steven Perez
$100 doesn't sound bad (this is it right: http://chicago.craigslist.org/nwc...). The guy should put the new strings on it before you look at it. New strings will make a ton of difference in the sound. If you're just starting this is probably a decent deal...but play it to make sure you can live with it until you step up.
- Justin
TOTALLY A BEGINNER - Taken a few lessons from a friend, but I'm serious about wanting to play, so I want to get my own. @Justin - yeah, that's the one! This guy also has this one listed: http://chicago.craigslist.org/nwc... I've never played a 3/4 size guitar...
- .k.t.c.l.i.n.g.
Oh, and to answer your 2nd ?, Spidra, I'm just looking for a good one to learn/practice on... Don't want to spend a lot of money but want the best I can get, ya know? My brother has a cheaper guitar and I don't like playing it - the strings seem harder than normal to press down, among other things.
- .k.t.c.l.i.n.g.
Here's the TG-4 new: http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product... - $200. And here's the DG11 - http://www.musiciansnews.com/guitars... $200. So it looks like they're roughly the same caliber of guitar from Fender. The travel guitar might be an easier scale to start on, but eventually you may want a full size. I'd start full size....but that's just me. Spidra has great advice...query the Guitar room. I'm new to FF, didn't know that room
- Justin
THanks - I sent out a message to one of the rooms, but they all look like they haven't had much activity. I'm kinda torn on which of the two I like better... I'm 5'4" and have pretty average sized hands... for my height I guess. I don't know if they'd be considered "small." I know the 3/4 might be easier at first but you're right - I'd probably want a full size later anyway. Plus, the full sized one comes with a little more 'accessories'... Plus, I like the finish on it better!!

If you’re thinking McLeod, you couldn’t be further from the truth. What you have to do is think small; not microscopic, just big enough to see with your naked eye. Turritopsis nutricula is a hydrozoan, and it’s considered by scientists to be the only animal that cheated death.

Solitary organisms are (according to current belief) doomed to die, after they completed their life cycle. Hydrozoa are a huge class of predatory animals that live mostly in saltwater, closely related to jellyfish and corals.

What's the difference between striving to be the best person you can be, and being a perfectionist? I was thinking about this earlier, and I'm perplexed.
William Harryman, Micah Wittman, Kol Tregaskes and 3 other people liked this
surely a perfectionist isn't only about being the best person you can be...it's about trying do everything perfectly...no?
- Zee.
Agreed, Zee. It's one thing to be the best you can be, maximizing your strengths and minimizing -- but also accepting -- areas of weakness, but it's another thing entirely to have everything so completely perfect that it drives you mad.
- Jared Smith
As a perfectionist, you will always be bummed - you are never pefect. :-)
- Stephen Pierzchala
To me, striving to be the best person you can be implies awareness of your limits and imperfections and those of others. Perfectionists generally don't have that awareness
- Imabug
A perfectionist does not recover as well from mistakes.
- Josh Haley
True, Josh. And a perfectionist is often a micro-manager, and is far less capable of seeing the big picture. A perfectionist gets hung up on the one misspelled word, rather than the amazing 200,000-word novel.
- Ladybug Heather
I thought I was a perfectionist, until I read this thread. I just strive to be the best person that I can be.
- Alan Le
A perfectionist is one who's drive to match a mental projection with reality greatly overshadows sufficiency and reasonable effort. Healthy perfectionists work to mitigate the collateral damage, unhealthy ones can not or will not to the detriment of many, not the least of which are themselves.
- Micah Wittman
Perhaps another way to say it: Perfectionists can't bear to make mistakes; those who strive to be their best learn from their mistakes.
- Ladybug Heather
A perfectionist thinks they're a perfectionist, but isn't sure whether they're good enough or not. </tongue-in-cheek>
- Scott of Two Countries
Great, thanks peeps! I've been pondering this awhile, and although I know there is a difference, I couldn't for the life of me define it. Isn't it funny though, how perfectionism has a negative connotation with it?
- .k.t.c.l.i.n.g.
probably because perfectionism is rather looked upon as obsessive behaviour rather than a good trait to have.
