Many of my friends are guitar players. I've tried to learn over the years - since college (I turned 50 last month). Playing has never stuck. I have been a woodworker all my life and in 2003 decided to make an acoustic guitar from scratch. I was hooked.

Since then, I've built five acoustics and seven electrics. Many were built for friends but I still own three electrics - Tele style, LP style and a custom with a HSH configuration. I also have my first acoustic and latest acoustic that I finished last September. [br][br]

My quarantine project has been a point-to-point wired 1965 Fender Deluxe Reverb amp build. Parts sourced from the best suppliers. My own custom build-your-own-amp kit. I also own a Line 6 AmpliFi and Groove Tubes Soul-o 75. What can I say, I have GAS!

But I still can't play. I have finally decided to change that. I don't learn well on my own and need structure and a clear path. I just started with Guitar Tricks and admittedly know the basics of guitar anatomy and construction. It's time to learn how to play!
