My guitar is in the shop and I'm lending my back up crap guitar.

I even get a bit of a phantom limb syndrome...

I'm going on 4 days without my beautiful les paul and my finger crave the scales and the notes.

I'm becoming a wreck and its really noticeable. I play 5-6 hours a day and now nothing for half a week.

If you have a nice guitar to play right now, just reflect on your awesome situation.

LOL! Good post Capn !

Im sorry your without her for a while , I know theory isnt as fun but maybe check as as much as you can while your waiting for her return?

It's Chilli's baby back ribs!

You could always go to your local guitar shop and pick up a nice axe for a few minutes to calm the cravings. Or try the various gums and patches on the market.

Oh yeah, I have the same feeling at the moment, only the difference is that I have my guitar, but my back hurts so much I can't play. It's my third day without playing guitar, but it feels like years. So yeah, I feel for you, it's horrible!

Posted by: shammy Dec 20 2007, 01:04 AM

I know the feeling too, I had surgey and couldn't play for a long time, it suck's. I would do what the guy above posted and go to a guitar shop and tool around for a bit if you can, that will give you an excuse to check out a new axe also. Curious, why is your les paul in the shop anyway's?

Posted by: PlayAllDay Dec 20 2007, 03:07 AM

Hang in there - it will be back soon! It's a bad bad thing to be without a decent guitar - I went on holiday last year and couldn't take a guitar and the only one where I was staying was, hmmm, crap...
I played it anyway but it was not fun and I couldn't wait to get back to my brood at home.
I remember that feeling with a shudder - it still affects me.

Amen.. this is why having multi guitars is a + if my jackson breaks a string my schecters are always just waiting in another room

I'm going on holiday soon and I can't take my guitar... Nooo...

Posted by: JukeboxHero Dec 21 2007, 11:39 PM

I understand. My les paul was in the shop like you and I was stuck with my suckish Strat. This strat wasn't even a real Fender it wasn't even name brand. That sucked. Hope you get your baby back soon.
