Gear update and bonus material for you.

I have been practicing a lot more and messing around with some blues type lessons on demand. Beginner stuff. I got a copy of the guitar grimoire and have begun studying it some. I have a few new scales in the bag. My skills are really increasing after I tried the blues. It really sort of gushes out of me now. It is like a language I was destined to speak or something. Well, I still like to slap that guitar around like I don't know what I am doing. It just feels good, when you do that. Finally got a TS9dx tube screamer. The sound is amazing! I have always wanted one and now I got it. Traded in my DOD 250 and my Bass Overdrive for it tho. Not a big loss. Guitar Center geve me $60 trade in. I paid 20 for the DOD and the Bass Overdrive was like 12 years old and worn out. Worked great being a BOSS pedal, but gotta go with the real deal on this one. Sounds like warm salty butter through my cheap ole amp. Love it. Hate Guitar center tho. They freekin' made me wait for an hour. Took a thumb print, had me sign shit and who knows what else, I think they got a urine sample too. Nope. Not stolen. New guy ringing me up. Hot and bothered wife in the car. Sending texts to me "hunny are you ok?" and such. THey would not even appogize for the inconvenience. All these guys are arrogant emo punks wearing tight jeans, black shirts, chains, lip rings and buddy holly glasses. I guess they are emo. They are punks fo sho! Oh, well. Must be nice to be them. I know it's nice to be me when I am playing. Even if I am just playing 3 notes over and over. the feeling is intense sometimes. I plan on making a shit-load of acid loops using my guitar and reason as well as my little yamaha keyboard synthesizer with all the effects I use. This would be useful for other people looking for some inspiration in this uninspiring society. Actually it does inspire me to write some angry stuff. I mean not even "songs" but sound sculptures and drones that would drive you mad listening to them. I have all the parts for the TMK but have not assembled it for fear that it will not work. Oh, well. TIme for some ab work. Talk later.

******BONUS MATERIAL******
I did get rid of the keyboard. It was too techno-y. Not my cup of tea. That is ok. I used the money for the tube screamer and some stuff for our 10 year wedding anniversary. SHHHH!!!!!
