Thats cool. I dont go looking to buy equipment too often, I like making up new songs better than buying toys
I like both.
I love making music and I love new gear.
i was just trying to listen to these two blues jams and the links are broken man
A new guitar player should buy this:

There are like 430 picks in there. I used to be able to get bulk 576 (48 dozen) picks for like half of that price - and I could pick the color.
Oh, and those are likely hosted on sites that are no longer functional or the likes.
I'll get around to uploading everything from the archives, eventually.
I do like new gear too, but to get new gear that means I have to go to work and make money and I really don't care for going to work too much. I mean it's ok and I really don't mind it too much, and some of it is really interesting but I figure I only get to live once and even though its not too bad a task to work on these electronic devices and networks and things I really would rather spend my time doing other things and not trying to do things for the sole reason of making money. I dont need a new guitar that bad, There are several of them here. I don't really need anything except to fix my car and pay the monthly usage bills you get just for being alive and living in a modern home. I am not normal by any stretch of the imagination. But I can make my guitars sound cool enough for me, and I can play it pretty good. I would rather be getting on with these women who can't seem to get enough of me. Man I been having threesomes like three days a week every week this year. It's like I am a rick star. Well except one of the women is the same every time. But thats quite all right by me. Other than that I like to jam with my friends and write riffs and songs and I like the challenge of putting songs together, its like a complicated puzzle that is fun to put together. SO I am hoping that I get a chance to work in that recording studio I was telling you I had a phone interview with the other day. I would be eager to go there and help them make records or whatever musical things they are putting together. I hope they give me a chance. I know I can do what they need
LOL I, on the other hand, love playing with new gear. I enjoy the experience of a new guitar, a new pedal, or even just new strings. I love the smell of a new guitar. I love everything about it.
I want to have a guitar for every possible situation I can reasonably come up with. I like having interesting guitars. I also like to have nice things. I want my guitars to be in damned near pristine condition - not so that I can keep them that way but so that I can rely on them when I play them.
That and, man, you can buy a perfectly usable guitar for under $200. Who knew? Even a decade ago, a $200 guitar was pretty much useless. Today? There are a ton of awesome guitars in the Under $300 category amd a bunch under $200.
Oh, and current affairs are going to raise guitar prices. It's inevitable. Shipping costs are going through the roof. If you're gonna buy a new cheap guitar, such as an IYV, then you might want to do it sooner than later.
