Balancing ideas and delivery

My Baby

I missed my baby. Its been a while since i last time i gave it a good stroking. The last time being december 7th 2002...when its strings snapped on me.....Now that my break is over, the bridge is fixed and its strings have been replaced.......its once again in the hands of its beholder!!! Playing the guitar is in some ways very similar to playing basketball...there are good days and bad days......sometimes the chords and notes feel ever so fresh....you know, feel and hear that you're just rocking the house with it in your hands.......its like being 'in the zone' when you play bball......everything all of a sudden becomes so easy to execute.....you play with perfect timing...you can hear what the guitar will do long before it screams out of the amplifier.......
All throughout the Christmas and all of Jan 03'...i've been playing an acoustic....i suppose it was good technique training........the strings are stiffer......the notes are harder to play.....i suppose the acoustic is a more sturdy, edgier and down to earth guitar compared to the electric......so for the first time, in nearly two months, i plugged in my electric and rocked!!........i was just killin it.......
For those that don't know......i have a sorta glossy purple guitar.....its an Ibanez SA 170.....it has an ultra thin fretboard and neck.....the radius of the neck is really small, which allows for very comfortable soloing.....i've definitely been accustomed to it by now........its weight, its finish, its feel..........i love it.
