While I was on vacation in South Carolina, I found a guitar shop at this mall I went to when I went to see that movie. I wanted to look around that store longer but couldn’t stay long ’cause I had to leave for the movie, ya know? It was a pretty cool store. I wanted to look around in there for hours ’cause they had all kinds of stuff. It’s not just a guitar store though, they sell all instruments: pianos, keyboards, drums, basses, mandolins, banjos, etc.

I picked up a few little things from that store, though. Picked up a few pack of guitar strings. I think I have a heavier gauge of electric strings for my Hollowbody guitar ’cause I don’t like playing guitar with light strings. I would like heavier strings. Not too heavy but heavy enough to keep my callus’s going and to get a bigger & fatter sound in electric guitar. I also had to buy another capo ’cause my other capos broke.

I also picked up a glass slide which was around $5.00. I figure I wanna get into slide guitar thanks to slide guitarists Duane Allman and Derek Trucks for inspiring me to get into it. The Allman Brothers are the inspiration for me wanting to get into slide guitar so I figure I wanna learn too and I will. I tried to get into slide guitar before but wasn’t motivated enough to get into it ’cause slide guitar is kind of hard to learn but I figure I wanna be more dedicated to slide guitar. After watching a few instructional videos on how to play slide, it doesn’t seem that hard at all. I would like to play guitar solos with a slide with my original songs. Something different and more tasteful. Plus to learn how to play rhythm parts and riffs with a slide as well.

I love slide guitar. I’ll have to look online to see if I can find some good books that teaches you how to play slide and I will.
