I came across an article on digg discussing 10 awesome guitarists. Of these 10, 7 of them were already well known to me. I'm glad for the post as I have to admit that Monte Montgomery is someone I needed to know about.

The list inspired me to come up with a list of awesome guitarists that *I* think everyone should know about. I looked at my ( Read more... )

So this thing still exists, and people still use it.

It's been almost a year since I last posted. Not much new to speak of in that year. Looking back, nothing much has changed. I'm still into guitar, computers, and work.

I recently helped my friend Troy film a guitarist for his documentary. We went to philly to film Jimmy Bruno, which was a lot ( Read more... )

A few weeks ago, my friend Troy said he needed some help demo'ing some amps.

I could barely get in by 9:30AM (which for me is *late*), which is funny cause at my last gig I was lucky if I got in before ( Read more... )

Or of course, be buddies with someone in the industry.

Guess I'll just have to surf youtube instead.

I've been toying around the idea of posting this or not, but if it bothers someone (mrbubs) I'll take it down.

I asked mrbubs how things were going, and he responded "you're kidding"... Confused by this response, I took a look at his journal and found out that tloz_link5 was the kid who was killed in Harlem last week.I've only met him twice, but I feel mortified to ( Read more... )
