The Title says it all. My wife is finding it "Hard To Handle" my practicing/playing every chance I get. Oh well! What was it that Jimi said..... "As long as I got my Guitar"..... ha! ha! The photos on the wall are from the "Total Accuracy" booklets that came with the original series, which included note-for-note cassette tapes. Can you imagine no video? That was just 16 years ago. The photos are all Guitar Legends from Hendrix to Gilmour etc..

Hi Everybody!
I wanted to introduce myself, I’m part of the team here at LickLibrary and I wanted to liven things up around here at LickSpace. I want to hear your ideas and what you’d like to see in the community. The LickSpace community was built for you so we want to hear your ideas and thoughts on our future updates and fun contests we have up our sleeves!
Bye for now
NewsDesk, LickLibrary
i`m sure this sounds better when your buzzin pretty dam good i know i am right now !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
improv on a good buzz havent seen red "bass" for over a year and i really didnt know brian could even play drums so heres some off the cuff riffs from my living room on friday night with a dam good buzz
Here I recorded the main solo from ZZ Top's "Tush", wich is played on slide guitar in normal tuning. Great fun to play this one !
Is there a "Learn To Sing" like "Learn To Play" series here at Lick library? Just wondering. Okay, I'm having fun and enjoying music.
Anybody see a Black cat?

can`t beleive the baby is still sleepin after all that!!!! hey hey check out the other side of my jam room.
another 100 dollar project if i can ever keep this in tune it`s a bitchin ax
guitar player live festival livermore ca usa
guitar player live festival livermore ca usa
i found this ax at ace thrift and loan shop for 99 bucks action is great sound good trem bar was missing but hey a charvel for 99 bucks?
This solo is really fun to play ! I used a backing track that already had rhythm guitar on it. I used a wah for some licks too.
I learned this solo mostly by the transcription from Dave Kilminster, that he did in Guitar Techniques, an issue from somewhere at the end of the nineties, can't remember exactly wich issue. I always found that Dave Kilminster was one of the best transcribers and I find it a great loss for all us guitar lovin' students, that he hasn't done a lot of Learn To Play dvd's here at Lick Library. He's really a great guitarist AND teacher.
Anyway, I hope you like my rendition of the solo 
i really like nylon strings this is my all the time beater box just pick it up and play a quikie befor walkin out the door makes the morning coffee taste better have a rockin week licklibrary
