...my new old guitar and rewarding myself

It has been a busy weekend; the usual chores plus some things that I should have done weeks ago. The thing is, unlike Davao, most of the shops here closes at 5 PM so, as much as I have to get things for whatever I might need, I just have to delay until Saturday.

I now have the teeny weeny part for my machine head. I’m glad that the boys at Music Den were able to supply me with their spare part which I was supposed to buy the whole set. They were also helpful to assist me to what set of strings and pick to get me started. And after minutes of attaching the part on the machine head, the guitar saddle, the strings and some help with TUNIC guitar tuner on my iPhone, I can now play the old guitar that was given to me by the school.



The string feels stiff and the 1st string just sound as if it was palm muted when being strummed. I guess I just have to do some adjustments. But other than that, the guitar is now playable. I did some AC/DC (Back In Black, Highway to Hell), Stone Temple Pilots (Plush, Creep), Alice In Chains (Heaven Beside You), Mad Season (River of Deceit), The Pixies (Here Comes Your Man) and The Youth (Multong Bakla, Takbo).

I’m finally home. I can now do something on my spare time. I should relearn some songs and techniques which I’ve been telling myself of ages ago. And now is the time.

I also bought some gifts for Christmas and rewarded myself with “Sanuk”.

This sandal is really kewl.
