I play everyday when I wake up. Usually 5:30ish. I also play every night.... and if I'm not working ill just play all day off and on. Its what I do instead of watching TV.
I like to lay down my basic rhythm and chord patterns. From there I free style lyrics until I get something that flows right. I honestly don't care what the words are, I will go back later and adjust if needed. Most songs come to me while I'm driving or working or I will get a riff while I'm...
I think it is a beautiful specimen. I agree some guys may love it others want a little patina. I like to see a natural aging from a guitar being played. I do appreciate a clean well taking care of guitar also. I would play the heck out of it either way.
My Dad and Uncles played. I thought it was cool so I bought a guitar from my sister who tried but gave up. 15 dollars for a cheap les paul copy. That was it. I just never stopped after that. I was self taught and back in the 80s we only had tab out of guitar magazines. I used that, a tape player...

Exactly, I am trying to challenge myself. I've tried a ton of the YouTube videos on learning blues licks but I have a hard time putting them together. I figured if I pushed myself to learn even if I fail maybe I can get something out of it. I think 40 seconds in, it has already made me a better...
I can fake that I know how to play my guitar pretty well. I can improvise just about any song into chords n make it sound decent but I know I really suck when it comes to playing songs note for note.
So, I have challenged myself to learn Stevie Ray's Texas Flood. I have been working on...
Im in the light weight crowd. Thats why I love my Affinity. I don't care what the wood is. I just don't want my back to hurt after 10 minutes of playing.
I've been digging Kingfish lately. He has a birthday concert on YouTube that I have been listening to the last couple weeks. He is really getting good control. A few years ago he had the licks down but hadn't perfected the flow. He seemed a little wild.. Im looking forward to watching him grow...
