Topic: Hello All

My names Rick, i'm 22 years old from Birmingham, England.
I got into Joe Bonamassa's music earlier this year after the guitar magazine i'm subscribed to did a peice on him as well as a transcription of so many roads.
I'd say my favourate song of Joes is the excellent Never say goodbye, with man of many words a close second.
I'm hoping to go and see the gigs in either Llundudno or Nottingham although that is very much dependent on my rocky financial situation at the moment hmm
Asides from Joe I also like Stevie Ray Vaughn, Eric Johnson, Joe Satriani, Metallica, AC/DC, Rory Gallager and Chris Durante just to name a few.

Gear;
Guitars - Fender lite Ash Strat w/Seymore Duncan single coils, Gretsch Electromatic, Ibanez Electro-Acoustic, Westfeild Explorer.
Amp- Peavy Rage 158
Pedals - Behringher Overdrive, Chorus & Delay

Re: Hello All

Welcome Rick,

No we don't bite, rest assured.
Been here myself since last summer and it's a great forum.

As for rocky financial situations: i'm there too and someway, somehow, when Joe is involved,  i always seem to manage big_smile
Let us know if you're gonna see a show, there's always someone you can meet up with.

no chance lol.  I love my guitars to much to sell them, the only way i'd part with them is if i hand them down to my future kids.

Re: Hello All

Re: Hello All

Hi Rick

Welcome to the forum.
It's a real friendly place.

Noticed your strat.
My son has one of those lite ash strats in black and he has put a hot rail at the bridge position.
Must say it's a real nice guitar.
I can't play it as you might notice if you look slightly left  :-(


But then again....he can't play my Les Paul !!  lol


Ah, also just noticed your Ibanez.
The guitar in the avatar with the scratch plate is actually an Ibanez - but older than you are !!

Re: Hello All

Hi Rick and welcome to Joe's fine forum and emporium of all things of musical good taste!
Hope you manage to get a ticket for a show. Beg, steal or borrow.....it'll be worth it!
