The sound is a little thin, it doesn\u2019t sound good, it doesn\u2019t feel right playing it and the creativity just doesn\u2019t set in. But I keep on playing and with time I start really liking the instrument, almost loving it and I start hearing its unique sound. Usually, I write one to two pieces during a trip and I often think \u2018Wow, I can\u2019t wait to play them on my \u2018good, full size\u2019 guitar.\u2019 Back home, I play the new songs on one of my \u2018good, full size\u2019 guitars and it turns out they don\u2019t sound even a little bit like I remember them sounding on my travel guitar. Sometimes they even sound strange and bad. So I take out my travel guitar at home and play the piece again \u2013 now it sounds better, but still not the way it sounded when I played it on my trip. But once I record both guitars using a mic the travel guitar sounds inferior again.\nWhat\u2019s behind this dynamic between me, my travel guitar, my \u2018good, full size\u2019 guitars, my mood at home, and my mood on the road? I am still trying to figure that out \u2013 once I know more I will let you know (even though I am not so sure that there is a solution).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
