guitar stuff

I got me a new guitar strap today. It's kinda cool. When I use it, I look and feel like a pro-guitar player (just don't really sound like one!). At first I thought I had to get another strap pin installed on the top of the body but I managed to figure out a neat little way of attaching the strap to my guitar (with the adaptation of an idea insipired by a google search). I tied a button around the neck of my guitar with a shoestring and buttoned the strap onto the guitar. It doesn't look as povo that it sounds! You can see how I did it by looking closely at the pictures. Cool huh? The best thing is that I can take the strap on and off easily and quickly - just need to unbotton it :)

Another cool purchase was this little pick-dispenser.


It attaches onto the guitar and can hold all your guitar picks. Cool thing is that the picks can slip in and out really quickly so I will never have to ask around for a spare pick any more!

Lastly, while on the whole guitar accessories thing, I might just share this little site with you all. It's a wiki-how on how to make your own guitar picks from old bank cards etc.
