When I first picked up the guitar a couple of years ago, all I could think of was shredding the fret board like my favorite heavy metal and rock bands that my be why I failed the first time. Now that I can play the instrument my intentions and passions have totally changed. I can not get enough blues! The sound is something I do not know how to put in to words.

When I play blues licks and build solo's it feels like telling a story. The only thing I can say is learning to play this instrument has changed me as a person, in a very positive way. I find myself building blues licks in my head when working or even sitting around with the family, I am hooked!

No matter how crappy my day was, I can come home pick up my Schecter Diamond Series Solo-6 and play it all away, instantly feeling better about being me. I can't thank you folks enough for making this site and introducing me to my new passion... good ole fashioned blues.
God said to Abraham, “Kill me a son”
Abe says, “Man, you must be puttin’ me on”
God say, “No.” Abe say, “What?”
God say, “You can do what you want Abe, but
The next time you see me comin’ you better run”
Well Abe says, “Where do you want this killin’ done?”
God says, “Out on Highway 61”
