"45 Ways to Get a New Guitar" — Video
Here's a brand-spanking-new (October 7) video from guitarist Jared Dines called "45 Ways to Get a New Guitar."
It offers helpful tips for guitar-obsessed men—and women—who feel the need to beg their better half for unwritten "permission" (you know what I mean) to go ahead and buy another guitar.
Surely you've used some of these before, including, "They're gonna throw in a free case. That's like a $250 savings!" or "Steve Vai had the same guitar and he got famous because of it. You want me to be famous, right?"
