Went to my nieces daughters ist birthday party yesterday. Got talking to her father in law, found out he played guitar. He said come down tomorrow for a jam on his new amp. Tried to get out of it because i'd never jammed with anyone.
Went down today, he's got a man cave set up with drums and this big valve amp head and speaker stack.
He asked to bring my USA strat and telecaster and bring your amp, I said I've only got a Vox 5w practice amp.
Anyway he started to play his Zack Wylde Les Paul, it was like being hit by a train how loud it was. 100 mile an hour rifs and power chords. Not being critical, we all like different types of music.
We ended playing the Blues and me showing him some different chord voicings. He's been playing for over 30 years. Never had anyone judge my playing, but he said I played well. so from going in feeling apprehesive to feeling I am making progress and he's going to look at different genres of music. It's too easy to get in a rut.
