The Electric View -

I finally followed another dream of mine and jumped into the electric world. The latest addition to my guitar collection is a 2014 American Standard Fender 60th Anniversary Stratocaster. While I am not into hard rock, the folk-rock sound has always been an attraction, and Stephen Stills, Paul Simon and the Beatles did some beautiful electric work that just sounds better on an electric. I am currently running it through my Fishman acoustic amplifier and it sounds really good. Eventually I will get a true electric amp to go with it. 

Making Progress - 

I am thoroughly enjoying my guitar "lessons." They are definitely not formal in the sense of a structured session, but rather Butch and I will play together and I pick up tips and riffs as we go. I am working on Stephen Stills' song "For What it's Worth" one that I long liked, and if I had a guitar hero, it would have to be Stephen Stills. I love the way he plays in Drop, Double Drop and Open D tunings, amazing stuff. Once I get it down, I will post a version on You Tube.
