Hey Bryan,

Good to see you here. It must have been great growing up in a family environment where a lot of people played instruments. I did not have that and always felt ostracized playing guitar. SRV is one of my biggest influences too. Especially in his ability to play a full-sounding rhythm and lead. His MTV Unplugged acoustic performances just blew me away.
