My 2 cents,, You sound like your ready to dump some cash,, I understand beginner guitars being quickly outgrown,, however if you dont HAVE to get caught up in the Big 3, or 4 top names.  I have bought this very nice guitar for my son,, and I love it! I would suggest you take a look at guitarfettish dot com.  here is the link to the one I bought and the step up. these are very wel made guitars. As with any guitar you buy,, you will need to have it set up and possible (due to the lower price) need the frets filed as they are sometimes sharpish. but over all,, everyone who has picked up this guitar can not believe how good it is.

This is the one we have at home http://www.guitarfetish.com/Sunburst-Cu … _8013.html

this is the one I want also http://www.guitarfetish.com/XV220SCE-Me … _8104.html

and the top one they have is still a great deal an d look at its features! http://www.guitarfetish.com/SUNBURST-So … _4740.html

also DEAN makes some beautiful A/E guitars  http://www.musiciansfriend.com/acoustic-guitars/dean

Hope this helps.  Just remember that no matter what guitar you buy even the big 3, they all need to be set up for your playing style.

you know I once heard a famous artist (Darn if i can remember who) say that every one of his early hits were all about the same girl, even after 15 yrs she could still inspire songs.  I have that place I go to also. As of now I have 4 songs that are inspired by the same girl from long ago. (I guess you never do forget your first girl who twisted you out) .  My recent ones have been inspired by just looking around my town, and watching the news or interesting clips on FB.  The darker ones start there, and I go into a imaginary story line and make the target real.  That is probably the best way I can describe it.  and some just hit me out of no where LOLOL.

Man what a biker song!
I am just going to guess that the head on was due to not staying in his lane in the curve.  I love my Triumph, and I got nothing to prove to anyone. Good song.

As most say, sometimes I use the hook or part of it, but then sometimes I use one word out of the song.  Mother (A punks ballad)  the song is about a mother who is a wreck but tries to be strong for her children,  also just the main topic of the song which is how aI came up with a title.  THinking on it i usually use a hook more often than not.

I like multi and I love my boxes! I'm a wannabe peddle whore LOLOL but as far as my favorites,, gotta be the old DOD Phaser and the Ibanez FL1 Flanger. so warm and killer!  Maybe because I never had a big Marshall, but the tube screamer just doesn't kick for me.   l like a RAT or  my MXR.

WHERE WE ARE NOW: nOW PEOPLE YOU GOTTA READ THROUGH AND SEE HOW YOUR RHYME IS GOING TO FIT IN THE STORY. (GRAH sorry if I took your ship)


I get up in the morning and the birds are chirping
You’re lying beside me , but your heart is hurting
Grandmaw’s on the front porch dipping snuff and burping
Wondering what you might have done
if you had her in the sights of your gun

oh there is no time for regrets right now
you know you gotta kill her somehow
Oh no time for regrets right now
Pick up my gun, get it over and done
And soon Ill be on the run

But grandpa always did like ‘em rough
Uncle Leroy had a dragon named “Puff”
Puff was magic, he could do tricks
Just give him some weed and some match - sticks (enunciate both syllables)

Keepit,, Man I dont know whether your lucky or grew up very sheltered (thats a joke) Ill bet a lot of the brit Punk Rocker teens probably have done it a time or so. (American ones also)   Huffing paint is a cheap high. anddoes serious damage over time.  get a bag , usually paper lunch type, spray any paint into it and put over nose and mouth and kill brain cells.  This is a more informed page about it. http://narconon.ca/blog/substance-abuse … ffing.html
