My Music. My Tunes.

Got myself a guitar.

Its Granada PRS-1. A 39″ Acoustic Medium Sized Guitar. Well, this was about the guitar.

Now i’ll tell more about buying one. I bought it from Furtado, Mumbai. The guys out there are good at suggesting the right one for you plus the deals there are good as well. I did my research before buying one. The first place I could find or say searched around was a forum called IndianGuitarTabs.com. I posted what I was looking for and my budget. I got quick replies suggesting guitar brands, places to buy, what things to consider and accessories required. I also visited Bajaao.com to checkout the rates and models. Lastly, I went down to Furtados and finalized the guitar. The finish is simply great.

I got a guitar bag and picks along with it. And I also purchased a strap and extra strings. The variety for straps was not much, but I got a decent one. It ranges from Rs. 140 to 2,000.

Now comes the difficult part, learning how to play one. I have GarageBand on my Macbook which i’ll be using to learn something for now. But learning it from a pro. is always the best.

I’ll leave you with some of my Guitar images. Do comment if you like the Guitar, the Shoots or just the blog overall.

      Frankly speaking… its going really bad. :(
      I just couldn’t go ahead of the basics… you need a lot of practice to soften your fingers.

      But I’m happy that my sister did well… :)

      When I was buying this Guitar the sales person suggested that Granada and Gibson are the best in guitars.

    I bought the same model at the same price three months ago and took the self tutoring road. Think I am doing fine(I keep playing for hours until my fingers can’t take it anymore). Really loving it!!
