Both those ladies do not suck. On guitar. Yeah, but Nita Strauss has also done some pretty good stuff with Demi Lovato these last couple years. That and the fact that Nita doesn't use amps of any kind live or in the studio, so no tube cred for her, should help re-invigorate the hate! rct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We weren't staring at our phones all day, browsing our tablets, surfing our laptops all night. We didn't consume all possible internet knowledge every day. We played the guitar, most of us in bands, most of us trying to make a living at it and in my case failing and having to keep a job. But out every weekend with a guitar if possible. It's not the same as owning guitars and blabbing about them all day on the internet, so it is quite possible and normal for lots of guitar players of a certain generation to not have heard of lots of other guitar players. rct Yep. Well said. "Culture" is over-rated. Most of us just play. Don't have time or patience or desire to take time from that to do otherwise. Sort of like - Would you rather play baseball or collect baseball cards ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruger9 Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 I think it's really pretty. For a girl. But too expensive for what it is... I know signature models are more expensive, but jeez... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly overpaid for my PRS DGT. But I don't regret it, its a fantastic guitar. I still say it's not WORTH the asking price, but if you want THAT guitar, you pay THAT price.

fortyearspickn Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Yep... I guess when I saw him on The Voice, it made me even LESS likely to buy one of his records. (less than zero!) Lambert - I remember reading articles about her when she was just starting out - thinking 'she sounds like the real deal'. Not surprised the marriage didn't last. But, then - that is a superficial snarky thing to say, even for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put pressure of touring, coming up with the next #1 smash hit, being away from your spouse, temptations of the road, and its bound to fail. I've heard both of their stuff and don't own any, so there is how much I care about either one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
