    what a travesty this is... its out there somewhere in the tall, tall grass... its gonna rust... but worst of all, I'll probably never find it again. :(.

    it feels so weird playing with a full neck....

    i hope she's okay. :(.

    1) To get away from my house.
    2) It was 30 degrees in my room and 70 outside. :p

    but damn, I wrote some songs out there, they're so good, and I learned a bunch of Dylan covers.. no distractions..... playing outside is the best. :D.

    i got some short/sad capo stories that i must tell :D


    back in 11th grade, i was out playing in the park, and lost my capo in the grass, but then about a month later, this kid in my chemistry class was like "lO0l< wHaht I f0uND iN tHe paArK!!!" (he does talk like that...not a very bright lad...), and it was my capo! or someones...but since he didnt know what it was, i thought it would be better if i took it, so i did! but then i lost that one somewhere and havent found it since...

    then i bought another one, and at first, i lost it at the same park, cause i was playing music for my class, and left my capo sitting on a bench, but luckily i was able to run back to the park after school, and it was still sitting there! that made me think that this was my lucky capo, and i would forever keep it! :D well then the week after that, i went to some girls house, played music for her, but i left my capo at her house...and it would be awkward to call her after not talking to her for so long to be saying "hey, can i get my capo back?" [​IMG]

    so then i bought yet another one, and i havent lost it yet :D

    well, i was paranoid about my neck bending, and so i tuned my guitar down a step, but then i was told that my voice is too high for a guitar that low, so i had the capo on the 2nd fret, basically playing in standard tuning. :p the strings seem so tight now though, i tuned it back up......

    maybe i'll make one out of clothes pins or something. :(.

    Why would that be the case? There must be something wrong if you're worried about the neck bending because the strings are so tight. :eek: Maybe you need new strings. When was the last time you replaced them?
