I've got a Goya nylon-string guitar and a Stratocaster. I learned (self-taught actually) on the former in my foolish youth, thought it might be a babe magnet. It wasn't. I got the Stratocaster because there were certain sounds I just couldn't make on the Goya. I'm not really much of a musician, Eric Clapton and Mark Knopfler have nothing to fear from me, but I like to try to play some of their stuff. And I can sing a lot better than they do (but how hard is that?), thanks to some classical training in my youth that my mother insisted on. She thought I could be a competent operatic baritone, a career prospect that filled me with loathing. Tenors get all the best roles anyway. In musical terms I think of myself as a stone-fingered kitchen and campfire guitarist, those are the only venues I've ever performed at, and actually I do it mostly for myself in the privacy of my study, it's great relaxation therapy for me.
