Stanley Jordan is the fucking man. I am a blues/country/bluegrass guitarist. I haven't played a metal song in years unless I am jamming with someone and that's what they wanna play. Latley I have been real into Brent Mason, Albert Lee, Scotty Anderson. Double stops, triple stops, the whole country soloing thing has really got me right now. I still can't get through a practice session w/o busting out a few SRV licks though, it's in the blood...

I just put Texas Special pickups in my Mexi-Strat and put an aluminum pickguard on it and holy fuck, I played it nect to my buddys american strat nd it sounded BETTER, fucking amazing...I am about to buy this Highway 1 tele off a guy at guitar center that is getting a 1970 blonde tele they just got in, trying to get my twang thang on ya know what i'm sayin?

"I actually taught God how to play guitar."

One of the most amazing guitar players I ever saw was Michael Hedges.
I am also a big fan of Hendrix, Clapton, SRV, Alan Holdsworth, Steve Hunter, Mark Knopler, Steve Howe... the list goes on,....... I love to play guitar!
