I’m the first comment! OMG, I feel the pressure to say something good. uh, um…oh no, I’m gonna choke. I got nothin, oh geez.

I will say that when he looks at me from the stage I feel shy and overwhelmed. I have to look away.

Was that OK?

Caryl . . . that was the most amazing comment EVER in the history of the internet.

I bow before your posting awesomeness!

And Taylor is strumming, “Baby, I’m Amazed By You” on that red guitar.

Magical in its fame…

Oh! My favorite!

Yesterday was the white shirt. Today was the red guitar. Will tomorrow be something blue?

Was one of the more (in)famous pictures of the red guitar intentionally left out?

Love, Love, Love that Red Guitar! I bought some red guitar earrings in honor of Taylor! I went to an Afterparty at Angels in San Jose, and told my friend, Taylor will be here because there is his red guitar! I think that was the night of the (cough-ahemmmmm) “(in)famous picture!!!!!!!
Oh Yeahh! Gotta love that Red Guitar! (Tee-Hee-Hee)

I fell in love with the RED GUITAR way back way back and I have followed its path and heard its beautiful notes and I am sooooo glad that Taylor found it again and brought it on stage for DLMD. Red Guitar Taylor is COOL!!!!

The Red guitar make me miss the postings of French Hick.

Caryl- I’m misty eyed from your comment. It was truly beautiful. Seriously.

Dear God,

I want to be that guitar for just one song.

Okay, in the first couple of pix is that duct tape over the switch on the front of the guitar?
on July 3, 2008 at 9:55 am | Reply soulaz

Sure looks like it, Saboo . . . as a matter of fact, it looks like all the non-AI tour pics have the duct tape. Well, we can’t see the switch in the last pic, so we’ll just assume it’s there.

Something must have happened to that guitar, and Taylor must have employed his special “duct tape engineering crew” at some point during his tour to allow him to continue using the famous red guitar.

OH NO, NOT THE RED GUITAR!! This is torture…you are killing us here TSH. But, what a way to GO! Love um!!
Infamous pic?? What’s that about?

Love Taylor with the red guitar…..very seriously thinking of having a tatoo (don’t have any) of the red guitar for my ankle….or the words “The Right Place” Help me out here…what do you think?

What infamous pic?
on July 3, 2008 at 10:36 am | Reply Harp

Marcy, that sounds like a cool tat. I saw one recently that was Taylor’s red guitar, but, the artist made the neck of the guitar to look like a harmonica. Sounds weird, but, it turned out pretty nice.

Whew. Glad I didn’t disappoint y’all as the first commenter. But that was way too much responsibility.

And you naughty Taylor fans. I may be new around here, but I think I know what the infamous photo is.

What infamous picture?
on July 3, 2008 at 11:59 am | Reply tishlp

The red guitar is so pretty, I hope Taylor got it fixed after the tour. I can’t decide if I like the first picture or the last picture better. Well actually I like them all.

Now I’m embarrased. Let’s just say that Taylor seemed to be excited to be on stage that night. LOL

chill: maybe he just really likes his red guitar.

Caryl, you know, that must be it. It is a really nice guitar.

I apologize to taysharmonica, but I didn’t start it!

Hey, don’t point fingers. My comment was innocent, I tell ya. I thought everyone had seen that picture by now.

My 1st time posting and its about the red guitar.lol Was it a picture that didn’t show his head or feet, and was it taken during the Idol Tour?
on July 3, 2008 at 3:29 pm | Reply Harp

I came back to visit. I must say the last one is my favorite. Those Red,White And Boom pictures are all great!

RE: The duct tape. I remember reading the reason for it, but, of course I can’t remember what it was.

I have to admit, I don’t think I know about the infamous red guitar picture. But, I sure do love these!

I love the last picture, there is just so much wonderful about it in addition to the red guitar!

Forgive me for being here like…all day, but I have a free day and this is too fun.

The shots in the black stax t-shirt look like they may have been taken at the Norfolk show. Here’s one I took:

Can someone please post the “infamous” pic?

It’s like eating away at everyone who hasn’t seen it.

Well, it’s not “the” red guitar, but I assume they mean this series of pictures:

Oh my. I didn’t know there was a series. I’m embarrassed and a little frightened.

I’m sitting here laughing over the comments…….and that’s ALL I’m going to say!

Wow . . . interesting series of comments today. Can I just say that I love the music and I love the enthusiasm that Taylor brings onto the stage?

Anything more I say will just get me in trouble.
on July 4, 2008 at 12:28 am | Reply saboo

In addition to fixing guitars, Taylor may want to explore the many other creative uses for duct tape.

saboo: that one took me a minute! Very good.

Oops, different red guitar. Next time I’ll focus on the correct instrument. No pun intended.

enelrac1775: That’s what I was thinking, but it has nothing to do with duct tape.

caryl, That was an all purpose ouch, covering both the duct tape and what you were thinking!
