My daughter has, for the most part, given up on playing the electric guitar that she got for Christmas a couple of years ago. So, I use it almost daily for some "therapy". I call it "making noise" and that is essentially all I really do, but I'm getting better at it. ;)

My favourite artists to listen to include Wide Mouth Mason - a great Canadian band. Big Sugar - another fantastic Canadian group that has, unfortunately disbanded. The lead singer/guitarist, Gordie Johnson, went on to form Grady.

My all time hero as far a music is concerned is Stevie Ray Vaughan. He has a Fan Club and Double Trouble, SRV's band rolls on. The SRV Archive, Pride and Joy is another good site to check out.  Double Trouble drummer, Chris Layton is a member of Grady along with Gordie Johnson and bass player, Big Ben Richardson.

A very cool Canadian band, The Tragically Hip

When I started my daughter in guitar lessons, I didn't sign up. Instead I'm reading Fretboard Logic by Bill Edwards. I have the DVD boxed Set. Pretty good so far, but I've got a long way to go. You can pick up your own copy using the links below.

The combined book of Vol I and Vol II is available in Canada.

The entire series and boxed sets are available in the U.S.

This first link is the combined Vol I and Vol II.
