It's to early

It's 4:17 in the morning and I just woke up and this shit sucks because I should be in bed holding my beautiful wife instead of being on this damn computer. Night all

Gear

I have reached a point with my playing that I have narrowed down what I have. When I first started playing, I wanted every distortion pedal, every overdrive pedal and every effect that I could find. Now all I have  is a guitar, an amp and 2 OD pedals. And I love it. The simplicity of it is what I love. Back to playing and enjoying it. Loving the natural harmonics of the guitar and amp. Loving the amp's natural distortion and not feeling like it isn't enough. (i'm a high gain freak) Just loving playing because I can. I don't have a pedal-board with 30 pedals on it anymore. Life is good...... Very good.......

I'm Not Sure

I'm not sure if I should continue to do the blog. I can't even get my wife to read it. If the one person who does read it wants me to keep blogging, then let me know.....

Take Some Time

I just want to say that if you have a pet in your life. Take a little time and love it. I am not a person that gets close to any animals. But my wife is and I admire her passion. I wish I could be more like her..... She is my hero in every aspect.

Glad The Weekend Is Here

I am truly glad that the weekend is here. I have every intention of sleeping in the next two days. Hell yeah. I am so tired. Night all. Keep playing and rock on \m/

A New Day

I decided to leave the AC on so the humidity in the house would be a little more controlled. This surprisingly took care of the intonation problems I was having. Thought it might help a bit, but this slam dunked the problem. So I played like a mad man tonight. Everything from Metallica, to some Zepplin to Whitesnake.... What a great night. Peace y'all

Intonation

I am having a hell of a time getting my guitar intonated. I get it set, then the humidity changes and its all out of whack. I look and the neck of my guitar is has more curve than a severely broken nose. . . I guess these are the trials and tribulations of owning a guitar. I am working on coming up with a solution. When I find it, I will post the answer on my blog. Have a good night all... Peace

My New Amp

I picked up a Roland Cube 60 at a garage sale tonight for $100. It is in perfect working order and sounds awesome. I am happier than a puppy with two peters.... Night all

Arpegios

Today I took a little different route in my playing. I am trying to learn some soloing techniques. I am a rhythm player and have been very comfortable with that up to this point. Just trying to expand. It is very challenging..... Will post more detail soon. Hope y'all had a great weekend...

I Love New Things

Today a friend introduced me to an amp called a Fender Supersonic. Now when I heard that Fender has come up with a high gain amp, I did the typical sigh and yeah right. I checked one out and I have to say that the sound of this amp is comparable to that of a dual rectifier. This amp screams and I want one..... Didn't play at all today as I just want to take a break. Fat fingers ware out quick these days....... Have a good night all....

An Awesome Day

We had a great day at work today. Get home and start to play my guitar and my father stops bye. Now that doesn't sound like that big of a deal, but my dad  lives 70 miles away and I don't get to see him that often. It will be a nice couple of days. ... Rock on and say something nice to someone today. You never know who you may touch...

Another Day At The Office

Really had a fucked up day, so the only thing I do when I get home is put in my ear plugs, crank the amp and start jamming out. I started a new job about 3 weeks ago and it has been stressful. Just when I feel like I am getting a handle oin the job, I feel like I fall about 3 steps behind. Just part of the job I guess. I love that my wife lets me turn it up and never bitches about it...... Thanks    night all.....

Boomface

I put "boomface" in the title because I know that this irritates my wife... I have been fighting a bitch headache all day. Now this is extremely irritating to me as it makes it hard for me to turn my amps up to the volume I like. So I just picked it without even plugging it into the amp. So I think I will quit for the night and just watch Pinks. Remember to thank a soldier if you see one... Peace \m/

Basic's Round 2

Just decided to do another day of basics. It does get monotonous but again I feel it is necessary. Tomorrow I'm just going to jam to whatever I feel like jamming to. That usually means that I just play whatever random riff's I can think of at the time. It is fun. I am going to call and set up some guitar lessons soon. Sounds retarded, but I really want to know some theory with my guitar....Night all

The Basics

Just worked on basic chord progressions today. Then jammed out on some Metallica and Aerosmith.... It was fun.... My hours at work changed so I am one whooped puppy tonight. See y'all.....

A Nice Day

My wife and I went to our local Veterans museum yesterday and I have to tell you that for a small town, it is quite an impressive place to visit. It was also very humbling to say the least. I sit here and I think, what did I do today. I had the day off, so I got up late this morning, Made some breakfast, watched some TV, went out and washed my truck. Came in and took a short nap and spent an overall nice day with my wife.

A soldier serving overseas wakes up in the morning and the first thing he thinks is I am going to try and not get killed today or watch a friend die today. I put my wallet in my pants today. A soldier puts on armor and slings a gun over his shoulder.

God forgive me when I bitch about my life. Compared to the brave men and women of our armed forces, I live on easy street. From the bottom of my heart, thank you to each and every one of our Vets....

What A Day

I am sitting here trying to do my blog and all of a sudden the shade on the window next to my computer falls down and knocks my cherry iced tea over onto my keyboard. I'm thinking oh fuck, now I don't have a keyboard and i'm pretty screwed. SO I took my keyboard off and ran it under the kitchen sink and it seems to be working fine. We'll see how it goes. That has been how my entire day has been going. Trying to keep some semblance of a smile though... Peace out...

Inspiration

I find it astonishing where one might find inspiration. I was listening to an old Isaac Freeman CD, Now for those of you who don't know who Isaac Freeman is, He is an old Black bass singer. And I mean this guy is low. I heard him singing some old gospel songs and it gave me some ideas for some riffs. Just so you all know, I am white as notebook paper. Just goes to show that inspiration is color blind. . . . . Take it where you can get it. Have a great weekend and take some time and show someone some love. You never know who's life you might touch.... Peace

Gonna Keep It Short Today.

It is about twenty minutes after 7 and I think I am going to bed in a little bit. I have been sick as a dog for the last day and a half. I have not played at all today. I know that being sick is no excuse, but it is some honest shit. I'm sorry this isn't longer today. Night
