Yr right. Yr from Columbus. So....yr from the town of The Breeders....and Devo, no? ...and The Cramps?


well no

I live in Columbus but am from Dayton

the breeders are from beavercreek which is a suburb of dayton near the base

Favorite guitarists... a topic true to my own heart... :)

For starters:
Hendrix
Bonnie Raitt
Clapton
Page
Warren Haynes (towards the top of the list)
Derek Trucks
Luther Dickinson
Rich Robinson
Stephen Stills

But my all time no-contest favorite guitarist is... wait for it... drumroll...

Duane Allman

Has anyone seen his guitar at the Rock Hall of Fame in Cleveland? It's pretty trippy...

what was I thinking!? How ould I overlook these? slaphead Django Reinhardt, Les Paul and, yes, Chet Atkins.

fantastic flying fingers and great technical ability are not enough to make my list. Musicality comes first.

I absolutely love texas flood (SRV)

and almost anything Clapton - but the infamous solo on While My Guitar Gently Weeps stands out in my mind!
