About My Site

This page is my ode to the music I love and to the musical instrument that has played a key role in my life for so many years. It’s also a tribute to the greats of guitar playing history. My first love is classic rock so of course I will pay tribute to  rock guitar greats but I do intend to shine the light on blues, country and jazz greats because all musical genres influence each other.
