Hey I started playing guitar in 1991 !!! was 11 years old. My parents bought me a used wannabe Les Paul that played like shit, and a Peavy solid state 10 watt amp.

That damned guitar. The action was so high, you would swear I was playing Eric Sardinas' guitar. The tail piece on that was so high...And it had a warped neck lol...The amp worked well until it got a short in the power chord. But I had people (rich kids) with tubes jealous of my tone. Didnt know how to make actual music on it though lol

But that's what I learned on...

Then being left handed and having to learn the opposite way was a challenge as well. It didnt dawn on me to flip the guitar over and string it the other way. I must have forgotten all about Jimi. But I guess I wanted a challenge as well. Plus I knew that If I learned from somebody, chances are they would be playing the "proper" way. I never til this day learned from anybody. Well mabe studying joes phrases by ear didi a lot of bit for me.

I must be super geeked from that concert.

I remember when I was a kid and sitting in front of the TV with my guitar, and amp (cerca '91 '92) waiting for this old school Sony comercial to come on. Let me see if they have it on youtube...

I didnt know the name of the song then but I use to say to myself whatever this song is, its my favorite song. And I would try to copy the main theme on my rinky-dink foogazy ass guitar.

This was before the internet was popular. "You damn whipper snappers with your 8 track music boxes"

Anyways, Come to find out it was Summer Song

Here is the commercial

That's so funny it's advertizing portablle CD players and boomboxes. So old school. Now its all about those young Ipods and MP3s...

Just checked it out...The extremist came out in '92 so I was a fan in '92.

Gotta Have Joe

let me say to not sound like a stalker but I remember your first post on here somewhere between '05 and '07 (I think). I remember you where like 13 and I was like who's this N00b lol but seems like you are becoming a fine young woman and have a fine taste in Music.

But yeah, does that mean we are ambidextrous.? I open jars with my right, use scissors. and not like I have a choice, but take pictures with my right as well. I started practivcing writing with my right and so far I've learned to do simple shapes with it, circles and triangles lol

OK Joe has got me acting crazy. I just cant stop posting. Plus I'm waiting for this DVD screener of Black Swan to download.

Wanna "brag" about my gear. Not much to boast about...

Gotta have Joe I think I read you have the js1200 or something. Thats cool, wish I could afford it.

Anybody interested in setups here goes my gear

Joes autograph on my JS100

And my most 3rd most prized autograph (my second being an Ol' Dirty Bastarsd aoutograph from Wu-Tang RIP)

sneezer, Caucasian people look at me the same way :-)

Jeezz I got hunting socks older than most of you guys n gals.....

names will not be mentioned to protect the innocent....

"Just because you can compose it man don't mean you can play it" Joe Walsh

I'm get feckin' OLD!!

Hello to all!!!

Still riding a post concert HIGH from Dec. 7th and will be to the next show I go to!!

Thanks Joe!!!!!

You are the best!!!

gone!

Chad- aww thanks! Yeah i was going to take it! I will keep that in mind! I want one of his little doodle drawings. Maybe I will get that as a tattoo.. ahha.. nah probably not.. But I will hang it up on my Joe wall! haha

I love a great ending!!

IMO, she could have given him a stomp or two while she was at it!

Hope she wasn't hurt to bad.

Achoo - glad you had a great night. I thought Davy might join Joe on stage but he must have watched from the side.

Crystal Jammer - love the way you are excited before the show. I reckon you should go down there and see what's happening at the venue - you never know. Have a great time.

Satch rules!

Great concert, I need to know the name of the song he played after Light Years Away. He did some sweep picking I gotta learn.

There was a Joe inpersonator in Chicago, I dunno if he is a roadie or something. Was he at other concerts? He came out right before the encore. I noticed his shirt was different than Joe's and I laughed so hard when the REAL Joe came onstage and took his guitar and shades back.

I got to meet Distorted Soul, that was pretty cool. Saw you taking some pics, hope you got some good ones.

60" TV gets delivered tomorrow, our countertops were installed today. Carpet was installed saturday. The house looks brand new, just in time for Christmas. It's our turn to host Christmas this year and I'm SO excited!

Thanks for the info on the amp Scubadaz.. I can't decide whether or not I wanna keep this Raven or not. I can get a pretty good sound out of it if I use a Digitech RP70, but otherwise I can't really get anything pleasing dialed in. I have until January 31st to return it, and I thought about trading it for a Peavey Bandit or a Valveking (if I trade it at all).
The only problem with the Valveking is that it's just a little out of my price range. Might have to make it a Christmas request...

Speaking of the Valveking; was that what Joe was playing in the Guitar World (or GP) magazine vid that Cheese posted the other day? He was playing a bit of Soap on a Rope and Turnin' Left.

markt4658, wow dude, blow comments out of proportion much?? Why are you taking such offense?

Blame it on the Big Bad Moon Wild things going on tonight!!
