Hey fender gals/guys. Again, I've been away for a while. I like to play my guitar now more often than wishing i had a better one

So, I DID indeed make it into the band I tried out for a while ago. Their style is more punk/alternative, but I happen to be one of the finest young lead guitarists in my school (not to brag, those are not only MY sentiments). I play blues rock, and rhythm guitarist/singer thinks a bit of rock n'roll behind (or rather, side-by-side with) punk should sound nice. The name is day of distortion (or something), and its sort of shocking to hear these hendrix/clapton blues riffs amid the power chords and heavy drumming. Our first cover is Smooth, Santana.

BTW, rumor confirmed: drummers are the dim light bulbs of the lot (no offense, danny )

"Could you take the stain from this pair of pants, and put in on this pair of pants?"

Congrats man! Very happy for you.

Punk in the back with blues on top sounds a bit like early GN'R or even my own band to me. Maybe even Hanoi Rocks if you swap the lead guitar for a sax.

Best of luck and I hope you are enjoying it man! Its better to be busy with your music than on here talking about it.

Well done!

I echo those sentiments. It's a good feeling ain't it! I'm always lookin forward to practice myself these days. That is not a common feeling. Only happens at most two or three times in your life if you're very lucky. I really hope it goes well for ya. Blues fits everything. Most rock came from blues. Well, most rock i listen to anyway.
