I've been learning to play the guitar. A Martin D-28. I've got a long way to go before I'm very good. Was wondering about other guitar players on Free Republic.

sadly, I cannot recommend Zager. Started out good, then when it began having issues, they ditched me.

"I've been learning to play the guitar."

Me too - a Seagull large-body acoustic.

Started taking lessons in February - finally got my fingertips to harden.

I've got a long way to go, too.

My guitar teacher is also a medical doctor. He tells the class: “If I can’t heal you with medicine, I can at least make you feel better with music”. Not a bad philosophy in life, imo.

Wow, hard to beat a D-28 for a first guitar. Did you buy it to learn on or did it find its way to you through a family member or some such?

My sister Kathy gave it to me before she died. The Nuns in Catholic School taught her how to play the guitar. They taught me how to play the piano. Like I stated, not especially good at either one. Just learning guitar and haven’t practiced the piano for years. Funny how three children and building a career can consume a lot of your time.

“A Martin D-28”

Wow, not exactly “entry level”! Don’t worry about not being very good. I’ve been playing since I was 12 and I’m still not very good. It is a most enjoyable hobby though. I am in to electric guitars, and particularly tube amplifiers, of which I have a few. WRT acoustic guitars, I always wanted to play bluegrass, but my thumb wouldn’t do the thing. Then it was Flamenco on a nylon stringed guitar that I bought in Madrid. I may have just as well have been trying to play a saxophone. There is a monthly blues jam I get to at a local pub now and then, but that is the extent of my playing out these days.

Been playing 45+ years. Currently working on a solo/duo act with my hubby when he can join. Recently discovered backing tracks and how to incorporate them for a fuller sound. Some great guitar groups on facebook. One of my faves is Solo Acoustic Musicians (SAMS), and Backing Track Users. Lots of great people and info.

" I've got a long way to go before I'm very good. "

You and me both, buddy! I tell my instructor that "I am his oldest and worst student" - but I keep at it. Arthritis is not our friend. I play a big Taylor. if "playing" is the right term.
