The good

I didn't really want to talk about the good while discussing the other. But we went to that store to shop for a practice amplifier. See, Streak has decided to go electric and is now trying his skills on a Telecaster, which of course, requires amplification.



So far, so good. Still a lot to learn about the fretboard, but I do love this guitar.

Pretty sweet, my friend, especially given that both Buck Owens (pre-Hee Haw) and Joe Strummer played Telecasters. Meanwhile, I seem to be stuck somewhere between the intro chords to RHCP's By the Way and Smelly Cat. Or something.

Rock on wit yo bad sef.

Streak- I'm jealous! Sweet! The only problem I've found with an electric is that mistakes don't sound any better amplified:-). Distortion and overdrive, do, however, make great cathartic devices.
Check out this list of tele players (also, check out Bruce's tele on the cover of Born to Run).
