Re: First Post ... Newbie on the Road
Congratulations! Welcome to Cafe!
This should be a wonderful journey & experience for you!
You might think of purchasing a few books, to take with you
Maybe one that covers some of the theory, scales and such
Then maybe another one of chord shapes
Get a good tuner like a Snark ST-8, a string winder
Get some new strings
Get instructions on changing strings, if you will do it yourself
Be careful on bridge position. You can change strings a pair at a time so the others hold bridge in place until you learn placement later
Good luck and enjoy!
