i play songs ( a few, i have to, otherwise people wont think i know anything) but i play them like folk songs...you wanna hear a folk version of "Casey Jones"?

come to my house then.

its mostly for me songwise, folk stuff , grateful dead stuff i dilluted a little, changed a little. and i learn a few songs a month, then just go through them once a week or so, than the rest of the week i practice my improvisation, and since i got GUITAR PRO 3.0 ( thanks who ever suggested that...) i can start to understand where my ideas are coming from. the idea is, in front of people when u are starting out, you dont want to just "impress them" a whole lot because the next time you play for them, if you cant improvise, its just the same thing over and over again. i think music theory is the most important.
