Yessir, just for sh*ts and giggles though. I've never attempted to read guitar music, but I can read piano music. I haven't harkened the musician's call just yet.

Piano is something that I wish I could play too but I never took the time to try to learn. I cant read music either dude I usually just try to figure stuff out by ear and just watching others....or youtube. I mean I know the concepts behind music theory and the basics but im by no means a music expert. I just keep fumbling with it making an idiot out of myself till I think its decent enough that folks wont throw rotten vegtebles at me when I play.
If you've got extra time on your hands man you should put in some time and practice. I bet after a month or so you'll be pretty pleased with what you can do, and if you have any questions about guitar I could try an help ya out if I can. Or others on here as well could help ya, RezZ is pretty sharp with what he knows and always willing to help out someone wanting to learn.

I'm the same way about figuring stuff out by ear. I don't really do covers or anything, but in bands and situations where I'm going for a sound, it's all just experimentation and implementation. I really like being like that, though. It's a challenge. And it's fun. :)

After what I heard you play in your post FBD ill be asking you questions if I cant figure something out. You should have entered that in the song comp....now that I know your capable of playing too, maybe we could have some kind of monthly themed song comp or something. I mentioned it in another thread but I havent mentioned it to RezZ yet...I was kind of wondering if other members had any ideas as to what it could consist of. Ill post something about it in the song comp thread, I think it'd be something fun to do and maybe get people that were thinking about playing or wanting to get back into playing some incentive to start.

If RezZ doesn't have the time maybe you can head up the monthly comp and be in charge of it.

One day guys ill be able to play like this dude im posting below (and then ill quit playing cause there would be no need to top this kind of performance). Ive showed it several times to various members in different sections of the forum but this guy is the best I've heard since Stevie on a strat. With his tone, style and speed all combined, this guys cover of Kenny Wayne's "While We Cry" imo, is one of the best instumentals I've ever heard next to SRV's "Little WIng" cover.

I just got some new headphones and realized how much sound I was depriving myself of hearing. Almost like listening to it for the first time withy these things on...enjoy

Though my fans are few...stay tuned for further material released by yours truly. Im ready to record some more stuff with my 12 string I bought back during the summer. Im probally going to attempt a little Stevie Ray Vaughan. Something along the lines of Pride and Joy. I havent posted much since I originally started this thread but ive had other obligations I had to take care of. Let me know what yall think. All thoughts are appreciated whether their critical or complimentry. Anyways.......till next time!!!!

Well its one year later but as promised here's a little cover of Pride and Joy I threw together this Christmas afternoon. There's a couple of hiccups in there as I'm a little rusty, my apologies. Most of you already know my vocals are some what meh imo but none the less hope you enjoy. Let me know what you think, all input positive and negative...be merciless cause thats how you know what to improve on. Again all this done on an acoustic and lap top. I added some effects to my vocals and one part of my lead guitar part. I get bored with just the regular sound of the original recording. I'm going to try an lay some tracks down with my 12 string and see how that sounds if I can make myself find the motivation. Maybe some of you have some ideas of what would be a suitable song for me to try an cover. Maybe you find my music repulsive, either way its all good. Merry Christmas everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Again sorry I cant cover up my Texas accent even with echo effect and delay!

Nice voice. How old are you?

Thanks man, I was kind of rushing but it didn't turn out to bad I dont guess. Appreciate your feedback cause even though its a music forum the replys are few. Oh well comes with being the most hated I guess (lol)but doesn't deter me from loving music and attempting to playing it. :pimp:
