Late into my college years (Auburn University), I decided to get a little serious about learning the ins and outs of theory and technique; thanks mostly in part to my brother-in-law, Jim Seales of the country group Shenandoah.

 

Later on I eventually learned about the benefits of tube amplification and the fun of collecting quality stomp box pedals.  So this site is mostly a way for me to share ideas, pics, sound files and thoughts on quality gear and guitar stuff in general.

 

By quality gear, I don't necessarily mean expensive either.  Most of my gear to this point is the stuff an average player can get their hands on. But with some insight, inexpensive upgrades, and a little ingenuity you can still attain nice guitar tones with even the most average gear.  Of course, if I could afford it, I would go collecting the finest vintage and modern boutique gear possible.
