    Don't buy anything too cheap. My mom bought me a "First Act" guitar when I was a teenager, and I never learned how to play until someone gifted me their old Epiphone. Yamaha, Ibenez, are both good beginner guitars, and you won't be breaking the bank if you decide it isn't for you after a few months. But if you're not planning on spending at least $100-150, don't bother. 

     

    Also, I learned the hard way, invest in a good case. 

    Yeah, I agree. I’ve been playing for 20+ years and still have every guitar I’ve ever owned. Sometimes I’ll play a couple of the beginner guitars that sit in my closet, and they are almost impossible to play. The action is so high that barre chords never sound clear, and it’s extra brutal on the fingers. If I were just leaning on one of these, I’d give up thinking that the guitar is an impossible instrument.

     

    The best advice is to just try guitars out. There are some relatively cheap ones that play quite well, but certainly the first act guitars and those types are not among them. Just check them out, even an inexperienced player should be able to tell which guitars are easier to press the strings down on.

    McD and Frasier know how to play these guys.

     

    Can't hurt to see what worked for Wade and his Rams crew in the superbowl.   Pats offense was 3 and out all game until the end.

    Yeah, the Bills defense has played the Pats quite well recently. Much of the Pats scoring has come from the incompetence of the Bills offense in recent meetings. I’m more concerned with the Pats D than their offense. BB is really good at making young QB’s look terrible, and this offense still needs a real identity. That’s what frightens me the most.

    I think the barrier is that Reid is running the show... If Mahomes grows into it and starts having more freedom I'll believe it, but Andy Reid is historic in his ability to do just enough to lose. Don't get me wrong. Mahomes is a SB winning QB... I just don't if Reid is a SB winning coach. 

     

     

    Peyton's had more to do with his running the offense. 

    I truly understand why you feel that way about Reid. Mahomes is just historically unstoppable right now. If Dee Ford lines up on side, Reid is in the Super Bowl last year. Peyton definitely had more to do with offense, but that also means Reid is responsible for much of the elite Chiefs offense. That should be a testament to Reid’s ability. Only Bill Belichick really stands in his way. Most of the NFL can say the same.

    Kind of similar to Peyton's Indy run in the mid-00's. The team and his play were so good that eventually one year they would win it. Mahomes is a freaking cheat code. Just completely unreal. I think he at least gets one title by the time it is all done esp since he has 2 more years on his rookie deal which makes the Chiefs able to keep talent around him longer. 

    The Manning comparison is perfect. A title just seems inevitable if a QB can play at a historically elite level over a long career, regardless of the coaching staff.

    I don't know man.. I get the idea, but Reid managed to ruin it last year.. That team isn't gonna get better as time goes on, especially not when they pay Mahomes $50m a year. 

    They automatically get better once Brady retires. I hear you about paying Mahomes, but elite QB’s win titles these days. Other positions can be managed on a budget with a decent front office.

    It was a great test of character.  He made some bad decisions that put the Bengals back in the game. He then drove down the field and put us ahead. This gives me more confidence than I've had in any QB since Flutie. We have something here.

    Exactly, without that final drive it’s the same team we’ve been watching for years. Most NFL games are close, and not much separates good teams from bad teams. Winning these type of games is what separates teams.
