Thought I'd share this with you blues fans. This is my first cheap acoustic guitar (no longer playable) with a new and unique 'crossroads' paint job. I did this for my girlfriend's birthday as she's a big blues fan, and painted it in acrylics (with a bit of permanent black marker here and there). That's a portrait of Robert Johnson on there, and you know the rest of the legend etc.

The picture doesn't really do it justice, but here it is anyway.

Oh... and she really liked it!  :)

Wow! I didn't know that you are that good at painting!

If someone gave me that i'd sure be glad! Thats amazing!
If you loose track over a chord progression, play as fast as you possibly can. Nobody will know. Thats how they invented bebop.

Glad she liked it - she can play that when she sings on your next masterpiece.

Cheers,

It's a Martin to get that treatment next, right?? ;D
It should be done on something that's going to be played-----and seen.
I always say, if I can leave somebody happy and smiling at the end of the day-----I've completely f*cked up!!

That is so cool!  Yes, you are the multi-talented man.  I'm glad that you have a girlfriend who can appreciate such a unique gift. Not everyone would, you know.

ORH was just kidding about the voodoo part. Right....?    :-\

These days I merely dabble at being old and wise.
But I swear, I used to absolutely excel at being young and stupid.
