Post A Picture of Your Last Purchase

Who needs GPUs right?

:D

I don't need any more guitars that's for sure :lol: especially when my Gibson SG cost more than a 1080Ti during the mining craze. Guitar addiction is a real thing and as an illness should be taken very seriously. :lol:

Hehe. That PRS looks gorgeous.

In many ways I'm glad I can't play the guitar I have. I can keep telling myself that a new fancy one would be wasted on my lack of talent. I have been in the process of building a bass guitar though. It's a dirt cheap kit so it'll likely sound terrible, but I may just enjoy playing it enough to convince myself I need a "proper one".

Never stop playing or learning new stuff it's so theraputic.

lol I am so glad I don't have that disease.

Instead I have six bikes in a one bed flat with no garden or outside space lmao.

Talking of purchases? here is mine. It was a very big one and I had to save for three months to buy the parts.

Will be my last.
 
If I could play guitar (and I can't. I spent 6 months trying but get confused) I would do nothing else. Seriously, it is one of those things I can't do but wish I could soooo badly.

My first wife was amazing on the guitar and drums. She was a drummer in a band at one point. But I just get confused and don't know where I am supposed to put my fingers.

Yeah, it can be tough to learn for some. I took to it very naturally myself. Within a few weeks I could almost play entire songs without stopping. But I also believe that it's possible to break through a lot of the barriers we have. For me, I hit a wall about eight years ago and could not get past it. I gave up and began focusing on other areas of guitar playing, like song structure, vocal nuances, chord voicing, etc. One side of me thinks that I had hit my genetic limit, but another part of me thinks that if I had improved the quality of my practising and intensified it, as well as gave it a few hours per day, I could break past the figurative wall. But I never felt it was worth it. Fast playing didn't interest me enough to warrant the dedication.

I've been playing on and off since I was 11. I just couldn't give it the time it deserved, and now the vast, vast majority of my spare time is when my daughter is in bed so I can't really start practicing regularly. I very much enjoy playing when I do get a chance to pick the guitar up, but it's usually an hour or two every few months and it's just basic chord progressions and the odd lick; never enough time to properly learn anything new.

Still, I don't think I could ever not own a guitar, no matter little or badly I played it. It'd be like me not owning a PC or books. The quality, quantity and usage of my collections change but there's always something there.

I use my Steel stung acoustics during the day and switch to the Nylon strings in the evening as they are much quieter. ;)

I think that's a great attitude. Instead of being resentful of what could have been and beating yourself or others up over it (figuratively of course!), you do what you can and hold on to it. Nice.
 
Don't worry too much Daiyus. You will have plenty of time for it when your daughter has grown up and you can then sit around writing and playing songs about how much you hate her boyfriends :D

Hehe. Good excuse to go guitar shopping. I've only got my one electric guitar at the moment. Perhaps I do need a nice nylon stringed acoustic...

Thank you for the kind words. I struggle with self deprecation so hearing this kind of thing really helps. The community here is fantastic; it's the only forum I've stuck with for this reason.

Haha, yeah. I'll need to learn some proper thrash for that! I'll also be writing laments about when she was younger and still relied on me too. Humans are funny creatures, aren't we? I keep having to remind myself that I'm only 28. While I don't want to wish my life away and certainly shouldn't waste any of it I can only do one thing at a time and I've very likely got plenty of time left to do everything I want.

I would have posted sooner but been doing a lot of undervolting testing with surprising results I must say
 
Don't worry about wishing your life away. When you hit your 30s and most importantly late 30s it goes so fast you wish it would stop. Seriously, it gets worse when you have kids/see your friends having kids, and then the next thing you know they are not kids any more but 18-21 year olds going to uni !

Thankfully when I hit my 40s I became at one with myself and finally accepted that I am going to die and I now feel like I have done everything big I ever set out to do so am happy with it. If it came for me as I type this? I would know I would be ready.

I guess the brain is a clever thing. It helps you through things, and helps you to accept the inevitable.

But yeah, I spent 30 years wishing my life away, the next 10 wishing it would stop and now? I would happily go back to the 1970s where our country looked very different, things were very different and it all made sense. I could happily stay there in the 70s.

But I am finally at peace with dying, and I am so happy I feel that way. It's better than being scared all of the god damned time.

No offence, but what does this have to do with "post a picture of your last purchase"?
