"Purple Haze"

Right now I'm almost done learning "Purple Haze" by Jimi Hendrix. I really like the song and it's really fun to learn. It is one of my favourite songs. I would suggest learning it.

"Purple Haze" was written in 1966 by "the Jimi Hendrix Experience".

  Here is a youtube video of "Purple Haze".

The good points of my guitar

- My guitar has a good feel when playing it.
- Even though my guitar had been outside for weeks and in the rain, it still works perfectly. I never had to take my guitar to a guitar shop.
- It has a very good sound.

Overall my guitar is very fun to play and that's all thanks Buck, for cleaning it and making sure it works perfectly.

My custom made guitar

The story of my guitar

My guitar is a custom made guitar from the Twelfth Fret guitar store.  I found it on the side of the road.

My guitar is a maple bolt on neck with a rosewood fretboard. It is a strat copy guitar.

Here is the story of how I found my guitar: I was walking down the street  with my friend, and I saw a really dirty banged up guitar on the side of the road. so I'm like whoa this guitar looks pretty cool, I could clean it up and put it in my room or something. So I ran to the guitar and took it home.

My uncle is a very good guitar player and he said that he wanted me to take it up to his place so he could take a look at it. well he cleaned it up and managed to fix it. so now it works perfectly and it's my main electric guitar!

Welcome to my guitar life

I started playing guitar on Saturday September  4, 2010.

what happened was... I wanted to try out my new guitar before I went back to school so I asked my uncle (who is a very experienced musician) to show me a few chords and a riff or two. I found fooling around with the guitar was a lot of fun, I then decided to take the guitar with me home.

I found guitar a lot of fun so I decided to learn a couple of beginner songs. The first riff I learned was the riff to "seven nation army" by The White Stripes. A couple weeks later I learned the whole song.
I then learned "come as you are" by Nirvana. Then "Iron man" by Black Sabbath. Next I learned the riff to "crazy train" by Ozzy Osbourne. I kept on learning easy beginner songs.
