Description:

Ok, here's the obligatory flashy, gymnastic "check out my riffs" take on this old Robert Johnson delta blues tune for the 13-18 yo rock and rollers out there who were raised on Grand Theft Auto. I find that the key is to imagine that the song is a hamburger and the leads are sweet, sweet ketchup. Then, you squeeze the ketchup bottle way too hard, and ruin the hamburger. There's less flash and more soul in my other takes of the same song. Check out my channel. How do you like the double chin? Ugh. Well, you're gonna be closing in on 40 someday, too, kid. Laugh while you can. Let's see if when you get there you can play an acoustic guitar half this soulfully :-)

Never... I *never* practice. I jam out every single day (almost), but it's a different thing from practicing, as my friends who do actually practice are fond of reminding me. But I just love playing, so I play all the time... 22 years of that, and eventually you get somewhere. I sucked pretty hard the first 5 or 10 years, actually. It took a long time, but because I wasn't actually trying to get better, it didn't take any patience.

I play like that too. I don't have any patience to practice or learn songs from bands... I prefer to play my own 'crap' but seeing the way it turned out for you, this gives me hope that one day I'll become good too... maybe as good as you ;-)

Just love what you're doing & keep at it, & it's a sure thing. And even better, it won't matter to you either way, actually. (Although the compliments are nice :-> )
