Mark your calendars. F Chords is now three days a week: Monday, Wednesday, Friday. Two days a week was wrecking the pacing of the strip. You can't tell a story twice a week. (Or at least, it's really hard.)

All right. I know it's early in the existence of F Chords, but I want to get a feel for my audience. Do you guys play any instruments? Let's see some stats.

I've played guitar since... man, I don't remember. Not that it was that long ago, but it's escaping me now. Maybe 2001? The first guitar I bought was an Epiphone Les Paul, which is sort of my baby. I got it because I believed it to be the guitar Jeff Lynne used most. (If you look at the cast page and go by their musical tastes, I'm Wade.)

This year I bought an acoustic Epiphone a lot like this one but much cheaper. I'm no good at lead guitar and I always ended up playing my electrics like they were acoustic. I had a little Squier Strat a couple years ago which I think is in my parents' garage. I also had a little parlor acoustic that's at my brother's apartment now. Wherever I go I leave guitars in my wake.
