Haha....not so much. I just stuck it up there because eKat was interested. I play well enough to please ME, but I dunno how others would take it. I get some choice looks from the neighbors already.

Kevin,
I'm missing something in the you tube share effort.
If you copy the link and paste it into the search, the videos show up.
I'd like to know how to drop the you tube page right into the post but it seems beyond me.
Open to suggestions.
The D45A 1936 is pretty spectacular looking and sounding.

Thanks eKat!
I think I fixed that on my post and you did one better!
How the hell do you do that?
And how about that guitar!
Mine ships next week.

Thanks again eKat.
I've had the D45A 1942 for about three years now and although it's a wonderful guitar, I prefer the 1-3/4" nut and the original Style 45 snowflakes to the narrower neck and hexes and am making the lateral move to the 1936.
As I sidebar, I was down to the 1937 herringbone and the D45A and was without a utility dread.
Landed an excellent 08 D18A and it's a killer.
For the time being the Martin dread trifecta is complete and this treatment should put my GAS back into remission for a while.
Will report.

There's definitely one "Doc" I wish I could play like....
Warbler-
Really nice tone on this Larrivee.
I'm used to dreads and this is an OM, so not as boomy.
But it's a wonderful instrument, even sweeter because I've been playing my cheapo beach git for a few years.
Speaking of amps-
Of course I don't *neeed one....since I only play at home alone but
this is the first guitar I've owned that has a pickup.
I've plugged in at music shops or with friends' rigs and it sure is fun to put a lil sugar on the vocals and guitar.
One small amp I'm looking at has a built in looper, which could help me practice leads and add to the overall Stoney fun factor.
It's the Roland AC33

Anyone have experience or a preference on acoustic amps?

OK, chill. . . what's up with that lovely classical?
TELL ALL!
It is a Luis Molina Model 35, 2010. I use it to feed a serious Bach obsession.

I have a Martin from the mid 90's that I played the hell out of for about fifteen years. Always liked the 'big' sound. Got a Taylor about five years ago and mostly play that now but enjoy pulling put the Martin now and then.
I enjoy playing acoustic guitar and would rather plug in to a PA then haul the extra stuff around. I am a singer too so I let other people who are better at electric and leads fill that part.
'A mans got to know his limitations'
Been working through Deacon Blues by Steely Dan the last few weeks, very fun to play and even more fun to sing.
It is good to always keep challenging yourself with new and more complex songs.
Edit: The picture above shows exactly why I play an acoustic guitar.
I love what people can do with all that stuff but never could do it myself.
