I got to volunteer at my sons school district track and field events today. Proud and sober dad as he took 3rd overall in standing long jump! A fun day.

Standard ‘Selfie-with-a-guitar-not-looking-at-the-camera’ shot.
Some days I pick up a guitar and its almost like I’ve forgotten how to play it. I literally cannot string any notes together; nothing sounds right or in key or it sounds out of tune. Im holding a plectrum wrong or not breathing in time. It reminds me of when I would wake up without any memory of the previous day/night - its a really horrible feeling almost like i’ve been robbed of something. I’m having one of those days today.

But you’re picking it up…
Yeah there is that. I don’t time it specifically anymore but I play for around 6 hours a day. Even on the days when I can’t seem to put two notes together, i’ll still play for 6 hours or so - I will just play scale after scale and mess for hours until the workings of a lick or a hook or a riff come through but these off days, its sounds like Ive never played a day in my life and its really quite distressing.
My teacher never ever used to get frustrated when I had an off day, he would simply wait until I nailed it. Those 60 mins a week with him taught me more about patience and concentration than anything or anyone else. It’s funny how those same qualities are also keeping me on the straight and narrow.

Frickin awesome!
Thank you! It’s my favorite haircut to-date! I’m just stoked that it’s no longer in my face all the time lol
Then you might hate this intro. I know i hate, otherwise love it.
Yes. I do hate that intro. Very much indeed. Although, I was watching a video of Brian May reacting to Nuno Bettencourts solo in ‘Get The Funk Out’ a couple days ago and he thinks its one of, if not the, best solos ever played.
I love Nuno’s track ‘Midnight Express’. Have you heard this?
I took a few pictures while admiring my long hair this morning before I get it cut and layered more in the next week or two and I started thinking. I absolutely LOVE that I can wear no makeup and not need to turn (edit: all my photos) black and white to hide my red hideous drinking face anymore! I can if I want to for fun but I dont need to anymore and that makes my heart super happy!
