100-1 When I first saw The Fab 4 on Ed Sullivan, I knew right then & there I wanted to play guitar. I had a dream at 8 years old of having a turquoise electric guitar. Another dream I had was The Beatles & I were real good friends (my friends didn't know this)and they were going to come over to my house and have lunch. They asked if they could sleep over and I asked my mom. She said, "Well, I guess it's o.k.!" Trip man. They covered a lot of american black blues @ the start and kept reinventing, borrowing a little here & there and everywhere.

This is a collection of songs I've played over the years. I've gathered them here because one of the things about playing the guitar is that eventually you forget which songs you know how to play them. Then one day you here a song and say "Man, I know how to play that", then you sit down and can't remember how. I've gone through some of the tunes here and corrected (matter of opinion) them. The way some of them are shown here, is not at all like I play them, as I get more time I'll get around to changing them too. The dupications are there because I play a version that is a combo of the two. If you're struggling trying to play the guitar then my advice to you is to just relax, practice everyday and play stuff you love! I'm not shit-hot player but I sure have a lot fun playing.
