My Pick Collection

My Vox Guitar Amp

This is a picture of my VOX guitar amp. My VOX is a modeling amp so It has about ten different sounding amps and about ten different effects, that means I don't have to buy effects pedals. It is a tube amp, and it has a very good sound. The tubes will last several years before I have to replace them. It is a very loud amp so if I get into a band then I can use this amp at gigs.

Why Custom Guitars Are So Awesome

Well even though custom guitars are expensive, you get to choose all the little bits, parts, and pieces! You can custom pick the coolest and awesome parts for your guitar! First, you choose your body, make sure it’s good quality and also looks cool, then choose your neck, make sure it’s the perfect size and perfect for you. Now choose your strings, knobs, and essential parts.

If you want, you can make the body and attach the neck, or you can make both. You can order the neck and all essential parts to a guitar online, and then you can make the body and attach the neck to the body you made.

My Favourite style of pick

My favourite style of pick is a very big,thin,hard pick. Why you ask? Well with a very big,thin,hard pick you can do lots of very fast picking. Then when your done with the picking you can then turn your pick to an angle and start some hardcore strumming.

Jack White

Jack white was born on July 9, 1975. Jack White is the type of person that can never make up his mind. He loves to switch bands very frequently. He has been in four different bands, and every single one of his bands has it's own unique sound. Jack White with any group of musicians can make their own sound.Jack White does not only play guitar but he also plays the drums and piano.He started playing drums at the age of 6. At some times he liked playing the drums more than any other instruments. His all time favourite song is "Grinnin' In Your Face" by Son House. Here are the various bands Jack played in, The White Stripes, The Racounters, The Upholsters, and The Dead Weather.

It Might Get Loud Movie Trailer

Well if your wondering what the movie "It Might Get Loud" is about, here is the trailer to the movie.

The Edge's First Guitar (a Gibson Explorer)

It might get loud

"It might get loud" is a guitar movie where Jack White, Jimmie Paige, and The edge, get together and talk about guitar and their history of guitar, their influences,their guitars, and their life growing up. It is a very Interesting movie. 

The movie isn't completely about guitar, it also shows about them growing up and learning how to play guitar. For example their first bands, their first instruments, the other instruments they've experimented with.If you watch this movie you will see that the guitarists (Jack White, Jimmie Paige, and The Edge) are all different guitarists and all played and liked different music while growing up. 

"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 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.
