I know there are others that have also but it will take way too long to list all of them. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Sometimes it is enough to hear some of SRV and the guy just makes me wanna play for ten more years nonstop The guitarist who does THAT is truly a great guitarist You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Awesome solos, awesome riffing, great musicianship and compositions - it's really a high-quality band. Unfortunately pretty unknown. That would be the band which gives me inspiration for the metal riffing lessons i already did and am planning to do You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

When I was 14, I saw this movie "Eddie and the Cruisers 2" I watched that movie about 50 times total. It totally inspired me to play. I'd be curiosu to know if anyone else saw it. It's an old late 80s movie... You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content! Don't miss today's free blues, jazz & country licks.

He is a great guitarist especially when he does old Blues songs like Death Letter. Really powerful, he reminds me of Jimmy Page. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Anyway the main reason why I got back to play guitar is because INTERNET (tabs, forums,stream videos,information) and the new SOFTWARE (GP5) . To me, these two have made the path so much easier and enjoyable. If I am not wrong it's got to be many many more like me going through the same experience as me out there.
