Topic: Hey guys

Hi everyone.
  I'm a refugee from Harmony Central. My name is Jake. I'm 19 and have been playing guitar for about 6 years (3 of those seriously). I love blues. From ZZ Top to RL Burnside to Joe Bonamassa to John Lee Hooker. One of my goals besides being the best musician I can be is to start a blues band and write original songs (its difficult to find people my age who want to play blues, but I'm working on it). I currently play a Gibson Tradition 1960 Les Paul into a Fender Champ clone I built. I think I'll like it here smile

Re: Hey guys

Welcome Jake, keep the faith and persue the blues band idea. Always better to say 'remember when....' than 'I wish I had...'  big_smile
