Goin' electric

Yesterday I probably spent a good hour and a half messing with son Isaac's guitar and amp. I didn't mean to, it just sorta happened. He left them here after playing Easter Sunday, and it finally occurred to me, "Hey, I should maybe give that there thing a shwing." Of course this is only one of several guitars he has - and this one his newest. It's an Epiphone DOT (just like the pic). I really like it. It's got that deep smooth semi-hollow body sound. Plus played through his Marshall amp and a gazillion or so effects... I could have spent days messing around in the sanctuary.

So, I think I'm going to play it this Sunday. I'll probably start out with a grunge sort of sound on 'Ev'ry Move I Make', then switch to a clean channel with a really deep, echoey "hall" and "delay" effect for 'The Power of Your Love.' Not sure about 'Take My Life And Let It Be' - I may just do a straight clean sound; then for the hymn 'Holy, Holy' I may either use an acoustic sound or go back to the combo I used on 'Power of Your Love' or maybe change up on different stanzas.

Any ol' way... I may just have to invest in one of them there eelectric geetars. Pretty fun. My only problem is I'm used to banging on an acoustic/electric, and subtlety has never really been my forte. But an electric just may be the relief my fingers and hand have been needing. So it would actually be a health investment! :) I dunno... I would never be able to decide what to buy - a strat, tele, flying v, les paul, semi-hollow; and do you go fender, gibson, etc., or an off-brand? Argh. I also fell in love with his in-line tuner. I could definitely use one of those.
