Guitar???

Been a while since I checked in on this post.

Cool amp Mullinax by the way.

I was over my Mother in Law's house for Thanksgiving and my Bro in law wanted me to tune up this old ratty guitar they found at a garge sale so I tuned it up and started goofing around in drop-D and used a stone slide I had in my pocket.
There were a few strangers there from my Mom in laws workplace that she invited.
It's cool when you can take a ratty old guitar and make it do things it was not intended for, he, he.

I was getting into whatever I was playing and it was one of those moments that kinda take you by suprize and you play something you never played before that just comes out because the sound is so different than the guitar you are used to playing so you just run with it, yeah, it was one of those moments.

I noticed the television got quiet and all the talking in the room stopped so I kinda faded to an end and looked up, and everyone in the room was looking at the guitar with their jaws on the floor and I started laughing and said "what the heck was that?"

My Mother in law's boyfriend who always makes me play my guitar for him when he comes over said "I never heard that one before."

I said "Me neither" and we laughed about it.

I love those moments.

Sometimes I can pick up the guitar and nothing really different comes out and I get bored and quit, but there are other times when I get posessed by the guitar god's and just "play."

Now if I had the patience to learn how to read music and even tab, I would be dangerous.
I just don't have the patience.


Thanks spaz!

I have found by looking up tabs on the internet that I can do pretty good. But the most beneficial thing I have found besides learning my chords is YouTube. There are guys on there that show you in depth how to play different songs. It's like having a teacher at the house and it's free. They even show different techniques to make the sounds that your are "looking for". Patience is something I've never had. But when I watched the video of a fellow showing how to play "Crazy Train" the other night and I started playing it ... with it sounding good ... I start to have patience. lol The amp I have already has the preset for "Crazy Train" so that helps a lot.
