I am a self taught guitar player. I picked up the guitar when I was 12 years old and never really got into it until about 3 years ago, although I have listened and studied the different sounds of the Blues Guitar, Flamenco Guitar, and Classic Rock for the past 10 years.
I remember going into the attic of my home and picking out one album out of about 1000, and it just happened to be Albert King,titled Lucy. I listened to his sound and had chills up and down my spine. I ran to my guitar and tried to match his sound but I could not do it. I turned the guitar upside down and kept it strung righthanded not even knowing that Albert King played this way and I got a similar sound. After I realized this is a very unique style, I began to practice literally 4-6 hours every day.
I started getting into Floyd, Hendrix, and the Led, and even some Flamenco. I finally figured out that most music today comes from the BLUES. Now that I had a feeling almost unexplainable, very spiritual, I then studied almost every genre of music from soul to metal, from Isacc Hayes to Metallica. I learned there is no limit on how good an individual can play. You cannot compare musicians, everyone has their own unique sound. Just when you thought you have mastered something, you can always improvise. The sky is the limit.
Music is more than a passion to me, it is my way of releasing my feelings and emotions. My Guitar is named (Bluesy). I came across the name from Albert and B.B. King. I took Alberts Guitar name(Lucy) and B.B.'s guitar named (Lucille) and came up with Bluesy.
We live in a tough world today and it is very difficult to touch upon this situation but I must. Regardless of what type of situation anyone is going through You can always occupy yourself with music. The more music in the world means less war. Everyone has talent and sometimes you do not even know you have it, but it is there. I am an individual that was really going through rough times, but I have reached way down inside my soul and music brought me Back:)

Thank sears and robuck or at leastr woodwind for electronic tuners. I tune my 12 string with an electronic tuner. You probably got one too. I tune my sax to the Bflat note or the A note. Hard to stay in tune so I bend notes all the time. I just finished blowing my sax. Been blowing all day and redoing some music.
Hey Hey Hey, Blusey. Glad to see you on Mojo. Now we got to get Debby over here too. Catch you later. Gotta run some errands. Maybe I can learn some guitar from you.
