General Vanessa Carlton Discussion / Noah!

Noah IS a rather studly name, and that banana is one hell of a stud if I ever saw one.    I'm sure whatever name you choose for him will suit him well. Ciao!

It depends, some of them are expensive.....really expensive. However, they have a couple models out that aren't too bad. Epiphone (did I spell that right? looks funny.) makes les paul style guitars and they are very affordable. Decent guitars too! It all depends on the type of wood that is used for the body, which gives the guitar it's individual sound (as well as the pickups and hardware). If you've ever picked up an expensive Gibson, you may have noticed that it would be a burden to have hanging from your shoulder for hours at a time. They are quite heavy. I have always found Schecter guitars a very intriguing. They are affordable, and sound nice. You can never go wrong with a Fender though, they just aren't my fancy. Though, I do dig the telecaster    very nice sound if you're looking for a blues tone. Anyway, if you're starting out...just go with what fits you best, and your budget. As for learning tools, lessons and practice are always a plus. I'm afraid I don't know of any good books. I would just get one of the HUGE chord dictionaries and go from there. Guitar playing is more creativity and imagination than it is booksmart. Just let your imagination guide, and your fingers will follow as soon as they become adjusted. Have a good one!

I heard Vanessa is with the singer for 3rd eye blind. I try not to be one of those fans that stalk my favorite celebrities, so I'm not quite sure if this was true or not. I still think she's my destiny though....hee hee

Creative Endeavors / GUITAR!!

Mmmmmmm......Les Paul!! I love my Paul.....and my V ;-) Go GIBSON!!! As for books, let me dig mine out real quick. *Digs Around* Ah, here it is! You Can Teach yourself Guitar by William Bay. I never really used it though, I just played and played and eventually just picked things up by ear. Though, it really depends on the person and the way you learn best. My advice to you is, go to a little hole in the wall guitar shop. That is where the wise ones lurk. The big corperations have to hire a lot of people, so they tend to overlook quality and knowledge in their employees. Have a good one!

~ The eyes are blind to love, the only sign of presence is the pain lurking through every opening in the heart . Love is blinded, constantly searching and always finding. Finding love is finding a splinter of glass on an old wooden floor, silence amplifies the midnight darkness. The prick on the tip of a finger sends a familiar feeling, felt once before on the heart when love was captured. What is love? Only the tiny drops of blood will tell as they run rapidly down your finger. Or the tears that rush down rosy cheeks, the bittersweet taste on the very tip of the tongue...each drop tells a story…each story a familiar emotion…each emotion a story…this is love. ~
