I saw this, the sound is great even through heaphones.
I wondered what the same idea applied to guitar would look and sound like.

I may have used a coiled cord back in the 60's as they were very popular back then. The one in @surfergirl's OP pic is really a cool looking rig and it looks like it has good Fender quality jacks. I prefer straight on one end and right angle on the other end. They work great for Strats, LP's, 335's, 175's, Acoustics, Jazzmaster, Jaguar, Jazz bass, SG's, etc. You can just reverse them for whatever guitar body they will work best with.

Rest in Peace Jimmy Buffett...
A great American Singer Songwriter Legend passed away at the young age of 76 on September 1st. I have enjoyed playing some of his tunes for decades and his music has stood the test of time. He will truly be missed... 😎

@Caevan O’Shite, +1 on the Obeyer position in the chart. I seldom use a strap and play sitting down. When I do use a strap, I like to be able to stand up or sit down without having to readjust the strap. I can't play with the guitar slung low as it puts unwanted pressure on my wrists...that's a cool chart! 😎👍

@surfergirl, That's great busking news! Keep up the good work! +1 on playing for friends, family and wedding parties (which have been my last few gigs). I'm trying to retire completely but I can't turn friends down. I may do a few open mics now and then as I only have to show up with 4 or 5 tunes. I like jamming with a few of my buds or just playing at home for my own enjoyment. Keep at it and have fun! 😎👍

@surfergirl, I think the best power trio is drums, keyboard and 1 guitar. If one of them can sing, you'll have the same lineup as The Doors. The keyboard can cover the rhythm chords and the bass. If you're going the Cream, SRV, etc., route the guitar has to cover the chords and the leads at the same time (much like your video). I would rather work with 2 guitars and a bass if I had to do a 3 piece. Then hire a drummer when needed.
I play rhythm guitar and a little lead. I like a 4-piece band like Beatles, CCR, etc. I play solo and I'll add anyone who wants to play with me like my harmonica player, drummer, bass player, etc., just makes me sound much better. I just can't let the rhythm guitar chord parts stop to play a lead or the bottom drops out IMHO. When playing solo and the lead parts comes up, I continue with the chords and just add little runs and arpeggios to fill in the lead section till someone shows up to take a lead LoL! Have fun with the trio! 😎👍

@hnovi, Welcome to the Forum. If a company screws up and ships me the wrong guitar, all they have to do is send me a return label, so I don't have to pay for their mistake to return it. I already paid for shipping and handling. I do pay for insurance when I have had to return a guitar as it could get damaged or lost by the carriers. I would have no problem with the company not crediting my credit card or shipping a replacement until they receive their guitar as it would only take a few days. I can stop payment on my credit card if it becomes necessary. +1 patience is a virtue, but banning a customer is not a good business practice IMHO. 😎

+1 I think the OP was looking for comments on different size speakers that come in different amplifiers. Usually, beginners are not into swapping out speakers. There was some good speaker info on this thread though...

@surfergirl, Thank you for providing the pictures. We are all saddened by the loss of life and the loss property in this tragedy. I know we are all thankful for those that survived as well. I will make sure to make a Red Cross donation for the people of Lahaina.

My homeowner's insurance coverage and my vehicle coverage are more than I need to replace my cars, guitars and other personal property in the event of a fire. For theft, I would have to provide estimates/values depending on what was stolen. My insurance agent told me long ago that I could have a collection of musical equipment and/or other collectible items as long as I was not doing it as a business.

@ShawnE, Welcome aboard and good luck with your 1st few days of learning to play the guitar. It is a fun and life-long journey. When you find that local teacher, have them check your guitar for its action and ease of playing. It may save you some finger pain if the guitar is set up correctly. You'll build callouses in a week or two which will ease the pain. Just go easy at first and play a little each day. The main thing is to have fun with it! 😎👍

@surfergirl, I hear there is a tropical storm this week coming up from Mexico which may have made things a little more challenging. It may affect LA and San Diego this Saturday morning through Sunday. Did you find the water as warm or colder than you are used to in Hawaii? Glad you had some good time fun! 😎👍

@whitefang, I never said you ever told anyone how great you are. I simply quoted Forum Rule 4 re; Trolls in response to a comment made by Caevan. Rule 4 besides telling people how great we are, also states that we are not here to stir up trouble and see how many folks we can upset. That's why I said if you come back, hopefully you will help keep this a group of courteous common sense forum members.

Dick Dale - The King Of Surf Guitar. I especially like the story behind the Showman amp. I've never played surf music, getting a reverb pedal has made me think abour trying some. People visiting Hawaii may want to hear surf music.

A little Beach Boys, Jan and Dean, Jimmy Buffet, etc., along with a few instrumentals like Dick Dale and the Ventures: Pipeline, Walk Don't Run, Apache, Miserlou, etc., should go over quite well on the beach with the beauty of Hawaii and some surfers as your backdrop! 😎👍

@ShawnE, I'm going to suggest a different fingering for your A chord formation. You can do it the way you are doing it, but maybe try this suggestion from time to time. I know you may find it useful someday...
where 1 = your index finger, 2 = your bird finger, 3 = your ring finger and 4 = your pinky finger
considering what I see you doing is 2 1 3 (2 on the 4th string), (1 on the 3rd string) and (3 on the 2nd string).
I suggest you try 2 3 4 (2 on the 4th string), (3 on the 3rd sting) and (4 on the 2nd string) for your A formation.
Now switch from your A to Aminor back and forth. Switch from your A to D back and forth, switch from A to E back and forth, and see if you like it?
