The best way to annoy the neighbors........

That's right I'm annoying the neighbors.

I could think of other things that would probably annoy the neighbors more than what I'm doing Like blasting gay porn at 3am. But that's not what I do. oh who am I kidding, yes I do. Anyway.... the point of this blog is I've made a couple videos. Wait, not porn videos you pervs. I mean I've made a couple videos of me playing my guitar. Two reasons, first I was that bored and second I wanted to hear for myself if I'm improving. Which I'm happy to report I am. Now you may not think so from these videos but keep in mind they are dark and grainy, I wasn't attempting to play a full song, and I wasn't really warmed up.(excuses, pouring in) I was just dinking around like I usually do. Turn up the volume and:

Watch the FIRST VIDEO, just some bluesy solo/riffing.

If you haven't sworn off hearing another guitar in your life. then ......

Watch the SECOND VIDEO , I attempted some song "parts" First it's the intro to Enter Sandman by Metallica, followed by some of my own riffy power cords. Then I have the intro & up to the solo (sorta) of Crazy Dream by Los Lonely Boys.

Tell me what ya think. I'm not a pro obviously and I've never taken any lessons. All self taught playing by ear and tabs. I won't admit how long I've actually been playing because I should be able to play much better than I do..

Sorry, I couldn't get the youtube.com code to actually embed on this blog page. Why don't they make the blog page just like the main profile page? God damn myspace! I actually wrote and lost this blog like 5 times. I finally got smart and used Wordpad to save the text. If anyone knows how to embed a Youtube.com player/code thingy on the blog page, give me a heads up. I've been able to post them in people's pages and my profile page but the blog page is different. I've seen them in other user's blogs but I'm assuming there's more to it than just copying the code.

Thanks for watching/listening.

Go out and buy the new Los Lonely Boys CD "Sacred". It came out today. It's not as good as the first but still better than most music I get a chance to hear.

Can I get a AMEN?!?!?!?!?!?!

Thank God or whoever that the holidays are over. If I eat one more piece of fudge or rice crispy treat, I think I'l fucking explode. I really have nothing more to say. But rambling is my specialty, so here goes:

Lately I have been so starved for new music. Is it just me or does music suck more now than it did in the late 80's? I mean, let's consider all the rapid advances in techonology since say 1989. Basically Ipod's and MP3's make it easier than ever to listen to the music you want. But I've definitely turned my back on new music to listen to old stuff again. I went through a soul music stage, collected about 10 CD's then before I lost internet service I started getting into the "cool as folk" station on yahoo messenger. Being a shitty guitarist myself I've always appreciated folkie music or any type of music that included guitars. But I miss rock music. Someone had to explain to me what the hell EMO was. Am I the only one that doesn't get the distinction between that and various other forms of hard rock music. So many clones out there, I don't hear a distinctive rock voice. I hear a lot of bands that sound like blink 182 and bands that took over Creed's shlock rock place. Maybe I am just being too lazy to look so hard to find music that doesn't make me wanna ram a pencil into each eardrum. Maybe I've just reached that age that I don't give a shit about new music anymore. Probably a little of both.

I wanna be sedated.....
