About Me

Well, Im a frustrated guitar player. Never taken any lessons, I can strum open cowboy chords and make little tunes and chord progressions till the sun goes round b ut I cant play a lick of lead. I do the finger exercises but never am consistent with synchronizing my pick and fret hand. I sometimes wonder whats the point. ill never be great so y pound sand trying. A lot of things seem confusing to me, from how to adjust the controls on my amp to working my pedals and basically understanding how to utilize scale patterns etc If you don't play guitar and watch me play youll think Im great, but any real player knows where im at. I like all music. From Zeppelin anf Hendrix to Metallica, Dave Matthews, Phil Keaggy . Heck I even think prince is a great underrated guitar player.Just now trying to learn how to record but its overwhelming these recording programs. I feel like a need a degree in engineering, I need my hand held and help in all areas. I guess I should mention im 39 and neverseem to have the time for me, but that's gotta change. I wish somehow I could get the veil lifted and the light to come on
Currently my gear is:

Yamaha APX500 acoustic electric
Tradition strat style electric
Boss ME-25
Audiobox interface with studio one
Marshall MG30 amp
