I've been asked a coupe times what I really think of that Aeroband guitar... pretty much what I said in the video. It won't replace any of my guitars, but I did play it for Joan and Murphy while sitting outside on our patio this morning. Before the heat drove us in. And then I played inside for a while.
I have my favorite settings on it - the acoustic guitar setting you get when first turning it on, and the piano setting. I used both of those today. Also as I said, it takes some adjustment in technique to get the best playing experience out of this guitar; and I've been "adjusting."
The big deal: after an hour and a half of playing, my fingers weren't sore at all. Not the fingertips or the muscles across my palm and thumb.

I laid out the set list for the gig we're playing tomorrow for Banner Health. I like to have that set up ahead of time, so it is easy to flow from one song into the next: as soon as I finish one song, the OnSong app on my iPad pulls up the next song. We we decide to swap things around on the fly, one click takes me back to the list, then another click on the chosen song. Fast and easy.
I'll be bringing more gear than a typical get-together with Mark and the guys, since we'll be using my Bose PA and mixer. We are ready.

Have you been getting out on any of the bikes lately? Thanks for asking, but, no. Since Steph and Dan have been gone most of the last couple weeks, my mornings have been occupied with cat duty. Today was the first morning in a while that I just had Murphy to take care of. It continues being hot here, so if you don't get out early, it can get unpleasantly hot while riding.
