This is the instrument i find myself picking up whenever I’m feeling blue. Its become a real favourite.

Open chord magic. Can’t go wrong with a sitka top.

Tom – I purchased the Sitka mountain edition guitar you dropped off at Myhres, it sounded great and I’m excited to learn! I decided against a pick up as it’s a long shot that I’ll plug in any time in the near future.
If you’ve got any resource information on books or teachers or sites to learn from, I’d greatly appreciate it 🙂 Unfortunately the store didn’t have any Weissenborn or slide guitar tutorial books or other resource info available so any guidance you could share would be awesome!
Cheers! Andrea
