Whishing you a speedy and good recovery Mark! Mojo on the way!

53magnatone: why don't you just do it like they do in Skandinavia or Switzerland: compact the snow and drive on top of it?

Nice one on the S4... not the worst car on the planet

Hey Mark, glad you're getting back in action. I spent a while away from playing guitar after sufferring a stroke almost 14 yars ago. It took me years to get anywhere near as good as I was bfefore. Still got numbness in my left hand and I'm now blind so I try to keep things simple as I can. Getting a cover band together doing Stooges, MC5, Doors and Ramones type stuff. All the best with your recovery. Paul

Little Guitars - Van Halen (the only song I can play)

I am working on a new original song today...has a nice funky/bluesy main riff.

Other than that, I have been working on Merle Haggard's song Mama Tried. Chicken Pickin' is not my strong suit, but I'm trying.

Trying to learn a bit of the lead to "Sultans of Swing" Mark Knoppler style. My fingers normally just don't work that way, but I'm getting better.

OK, I'll hum a little bit, got it now?

Working on some Lightnin Hopkins-style licks and runs. I say "style" because I'm mostly taking ideas from stuff on YouTube - things he plays, or things from lessons that people have posted - and figuring out my own take on them, as opposed to learning a complete song (or lick) note-for-note. So yeah, Lightnin Hopkins-type stuff.

i've been trying for a long time to get both my hands synced for the "i dont care" riff by the ramones.

Right now I'm trying to nail both easy, challenging and complicated basslines. For easy, I can play Blitzkrieg Bop (Ramones), Everlong (Foo Fighters), Ace of Spades (Motorhead) and Fly Away (Lenny Kravitz). For challenging: Livin' on a Prayer (Bon Jovi), Gasoline (Audioslave) and N.I.B. (Black Sabbath). For complicated: Hyena (Rancid) and Aqualung (Jethro Tull). Plus a few more by James Jamerson and one by Jaco Pastorius. And some funky and bluesy stuff too.

I'm not working on my own compositions yet because frankly I don't have the experience for it.
