After months of thinking about and postponing it, I caved and bought a Yamaha Pacifica 112JL. My intention is to finally start learning to play the guitar (instead of getting fed up with it after a week or two and returning it - like I did the last two times I bought one, though those were acoustic guitars).
First impressions are great. Love the sound, look and feel of this thing, it’s incredibly light and well-balanced and its HSS configuration is extremely versatile.
And while my ultimate goal is to play ambient-ish stuff, maybe a bit of Durutti Column, this book and its more traditional curriculum will be my companion for the next few weeks and months:
Oh, and I also finally got Mike Adamo’s The Breakbeat Bible after reading through the Conditional Breakbeats with rytm in 1 bar thread and trying out @tladb’s examples.
