I’m really excited about my new guitar! I got it in my head that I had to have a Gibson Dove guitar because the “dove” is a religious bird. Well, these guitars aren’t easy to come by but I found an individual selling one locally, bought it last week, and just got it back after having some adjustments made – I added amplification, new strings, and had the action lowered to make it easier for my beginner girl fingers to play. I read that Elvis Presley used to play on a Dove – that’s neat! My Dove isn’t a classic, it’s a 2004 model but I’m thrilled to own it, you know, because of the bird! 🙂
I play and orchestrate all of the songs I write on keyboard but I want to become more proficient at guitar so I can actually play out. After all, no one really wants to haul a keyboard around! My goal is to play my songs at local retirement homes and/or nursing homes but I’ve got some practice to do and some finger strength to build on this guitar before that happens! Still struggling with F and B chords on the guitar, I hear that’s normal! Thank you Bobby Kennedy for putting your magic touch on my new guitar – it’s just perfect!
