Saving for a new amp blues

I have been staring at my “goal amplifier” at various store locations online and been dreaming about playing the blues once again through a real amplifier.  The thought crossed my mind to possibly purchasing a used amplifier on either Craigslist or Ebay but I’ve decided to go the “new” route. 

I might start getting more aggressive with my savings plan because NOW I’ve laid my eyes on a Gibson guitar – it is WAY beyond my goal this year (we’re talking 4K past my amplifier goal).

So to ease the sting I’ve been feeling about my amplifier goal and now the Gibson guitar, I’ve recorded my “amp blues” using my computer.

Check it out for laughs!

Amp Blues

I am saving for a Guitar Amplifier!

I am self-teaching myself to play the Blues on my trusty Fender Stratocaster which used to play through a Fender Amp I parted with back in 2001.  While I have been using my MAC computer as an amplifier, there is no comparison with the real thing!  The model I am looking at is called the Fender Deluxe and the price tag is pretty hefty at $799 w/out tax.  So my goal is to practice and save at least $75 a month if I can and hopefully by the time I can purchase tha amp I’ll be able to play something my next door neighbor won’t hate! :)
