I decided to order a guitar last week, I like to noodle around with @vachemorte's (he has a few) but they are so huge and feel really cumbersome for me. This one is a 3/4 so it feels much more proportional to my size and is a bit easier on my fingers too!
I chose the black one with the slightly worn finish, I think it's really pretty :)
It's a Jay Turser which is a very inexpensive guitar (was around 145$ before tax and shipping) but IMO it sounds pretty decent. I have been learning some really simple blues riffs and what I really want to get better at is fingerpicking style as I think it sounds the most beautiful. Luckily there are tons of tutorials on youtube for basically everything so I have already found a bunch of great ones.

beautiful guitar. Good luck with it. I love the blues and fingerstyle as well. So much great stuff online and on YouTube. I've been picking up a few book on Amazon too.
I'm currently working on "Beginning Fingerstyle Blues Guitar" by Arnie Berle and Mark Galbo
Great introduction to fingerstyle blues IMHO.
Enjoy the new guitar! It's a beauty!
Nice, I have a whole YouTube playlist bookmarked, mostly basic technique style stuff but a few songs I would like to learn as well. My biggest issue is I need to toughen up my fingertips because after less than an hour of playing the left fret hand gets really sore lol. Best of luck with your blues ✌️
It takes time to toughen up your fingertips. I just started playing again last year, after a 20 year break. For me it was my fingertips and also my arm strength or hand strength when making chord shapes. That's really taking a long time to come back.
I think you will do good things, may you be a master fingerstylist. Travis picking!
Yeahhh 🎉
Definitely a beauty 👏🏻🥰😍🤩🎼🎵🎶

Amigo se ve brutal esa guitarra, la separación entre cuerdas está fenomenal. La mía está algo golpeada pero con ella aprendí lo que hoy hago en ella. Espero poder adquirir una y mejorar mis técnicas. Me gusta mucho los instrumentos de cuerda. Espero y puedas aprender más de tu guitarra amigo.
Lovely guitar and I guess more inspirations coming your way @juliakponsford
Oh have fun with your new toy, it's always exciting to get started on something new.
Roy Clark approves, you'll be pickin and grinnin in no time!!!

Such a beautiful guitar. Looks great!
Nice you could get a better one for yourself which aids fast learning, should I come for your lesson so you can tutor me?🤭
Well I am a huge fan of Music and I love an instrument which is like very underrated but a beautiful instrument name robab I hate that when I was in my country and I am thinking about to order it again but instrument which I am talking about is very unique I mean you cannot find it everywhere it's very famous in my hometown
felt really good that you have got a new guitar and I can feel the happiness because when once I received my instrument that was the happiest day of my life because I was just taking it again and again cleaning it and just looking get that instrument because only music lovers can feel the happiness of how much it means to us the instrument which we use
