I've been playing guitar... or should I say Tinkering around on guitars since I was 12 yrs old. I was given my first guitar by my Grandparents because my sister had given me her Kiss albums and when I heard Ace Frehley I was hooked. Since then it's been an obessesion. I quit playing guitar for a while because I wasn't good at reading music so I lost intrest. That was until in 1993 when I got married my Wife bought me an old Kramer electric guitar and the fire errupted again. I now own several electric and accoustic guitars and a line 6 2X12 amp along with a digitech rp 200 expression pedal and a Wah pedal. I try to practice everyday at least 30 min. to 1 hour. I play only at home and never intend to go any further. I'm not a pro by any means but I'm not a beginner either. My favorite players are Eric Clapton, Eddie Van Halen, Mark Tremonti, Ace Frehley, Joe Satriani, B B King, etc...
