watch me lose my mind, live and in full color.

I started playing guitar again after a long time away from it.   I found that in playing I ended up listening to a lot of the same stuff I did when I picked it up the first time in junior high.

1.  Cream.  Not only do I enjoy the music but most of the guitar magazines I buy have some sort of variation of Clapton as a playing lesson.
2.  The Doors.  Always found their sound unique and gravitated toward it.
3.  Buddy Holly.  One of if not the original.
4.  Neil Diamond.  Own almost every one of his albums from before 1994.

People would consider almost anything I listen to as getting back to basics. I appreciate a lot of the new music I hear on the jukebox but I can't tell you who it is nor do I make much effort to find out.

I love classic rock to bring me back to reality. My favorite play list on my phone has lots of Zeppelin, Rush, Bob Segar, Lynyrd Skynard, Manfred Mann, Blue Oyster Cult, Tom Petty, Ozzy, Guns &Roses, Greg Allman, Bon Jovi, Motley Crue, Aerosmith, Journey and the Rolling Stones. I also like bands like Styx, Boston, Kansas etc. Always makes me feel good to hear the old stuff.

I think it always goes back to the Beatles, for me.

You and I may disagree on pretty much all things political, but if we ever take a road trip together, I'm ok with you picking the music... Wink

 Embarrassed Tongue Back to basics? Living here we never seemed to have left what most people are going back too Cheesy Excuse me for an overshare...

I listen to almost everything listed so far,but my problem is that stuff has been playing here constantly for as long as I can remember.Go to Auto parts store,lumber yard,flea markets,swap meets,every damn car show (that happen every weekend from March through October),a lot of stores they are playing the same classic rock stations.I can walk out my front door,and walk a block on a nice day,and probably hear one playing those classic songs near by...

I have NOTHING against any of the bands or songs,but for me,99% of them are tied to a moment in time,a memory (not all bad,not all good either).Most of the time, I don't really want to go there anymore...

So currently I try to find new stuff that just makes me feel good...

~ Currently,my new bed-buddy,she only listens to country music.Most of that stuff I'm currently listening too is Country,and I'm finding it most enjoyable,and don't have areal need for the going back.Zac Brown Band,Thomas Rhett,Locash,etc..

 Tongue Embarrassed My latest earworm, now has a memory attached to it.I went to my bed-buddy's house,I walked in she told me shut up sit there till she's done watching the end of this show/movie...10 seconds later a flash of lightning,crack of thunder...then the power went out. I turned on her emergency radio,and Luke Combs -When it rains,it pours was on.... Grin

Johnny Cash is kind of new for me, I've just gotten in to him the last ten years or so.

Yeah, I've been playing since '87. Don't play much anymore, but collecting guitars and amps is kind of addictive.  Anyhow, anything guitar oriented from Hendrix to Black Sabbath to 80's hair metal. So about the mid 60's through the early 90s. Everything after that (with a few exceptions) sucks donkey ass. The '87 Whitesnake album was probably the pinnacle of music for me era wise. Not to mention, John Sykes was highly underrated. So I'm with CF as far as music goes...

Do you have a favorite guitar?  I have a Squire Strat (didn't want to spend a lot of money until I knew I was going to stick with it) It's in sunburst finish BECAUSE I'M BUDDY HOLLY.  I play it through the cheapie fender 10 watt amp.

What I'd like to do is get my hands on either an Epiphone or a Gibson ES335 in Tobacco Burst or maybe red.

Yeah, I like ESP/LTD, Charvel, Ibanez, Kramer, Les Paul, BC Rich, etc. Basically shredder type guitars. I don't have all those, they're just the type that I like playing. A couple weeks ago I played a Schecter Sun Valley Super Shredder in lambo orange through a Boss Katana. That damn thing was awesome Evil
