Mamma Mia, mini review. Also, guitars.

[cyrano]

Today we saw the film of 'Mamma Mia', conclusively proving that I am not a woman trapped in a man's body. However, the funny parts balanced the annoying parts.
(I liked the Greek Chorus line and the Fernando's bit.)

Also, if somebody has a guitar they'd like to rent me for cheap, let me know. Depending on the next few days, I want to start taking lessons. (I don't know enough to know whether I'm looking at acoustic or electric because I don't know enough about the differences.)

I'm sure Tersa won't mind if I break out the steel string after midnight--she loves music. (:
How hard is it to hook an acoustic guitar up to an amp? I'm guessing you slap a contact mike on the sound chamber or something.

I've never done it with mine. I do know that they can be purchased with a jack built in, but that costs more.

I don't remember if these are the things I read back when. I was pretty settled on an acoustic because I'm more interested in folk/Americana-type music, so my research was more focused on finding a reasonably priced starter acoustic that would sound good enough to keep my musically trained ear happy, with the intention of upgrading later if I stuck with it. I wound up spending about $100 thanks to some careful shopping. And what they say about electric being easy when you've learned on an acoustic is true. Here are a couple of links, though. Musician's Friend (website) has pretty decent sale prices if you keep an eye out.

I'm not sure, but instinct tells me it's a royal pain in the ass and Not Cheap.
