@312chicagoadam A Holdsworth model, I wish. lol. It's a Carvin ae185. I've been receiving Carvin's mail order catalogs for 20 years and always wanted one of their guitars, so when I saw this used one on sale at Guitar Center, I grabbed it quick. Thanks for the compliment, I appreciate it! Good luck with the contest yourself.
@openmind1984 Thanks for the encouragement. The contest was a good excuse to push myself to get creative again. Hopefully, Wallimann will have more contests in the future. Good luck yourself.
I'm buying my daughter an acoustic for her birthday as she keeps going on about it. Was gonna get a 3/4 size or junior but figured if she gets into it I'll buy a big one and save the trouble of buying one in the future. I haven't played for years either and have no idea if I'll remember...I'll start with the classics like BB king and Clapton, but I never completed my guitar education. I'll be buying the "idiots guide to guitar" aswell off amazon.
@MrUnscientific You play? Video, video! You never "complete" your music education, it's an ongoing process. I learned the basics of reading music about 7 years ago and I just started getting semi-serious about learning my scales and modes within the last year. Save your money on the "idiots guide". There's tons of free resources on the internet. Just remember: if you play something wrong, just play it twice and then people with think that you did it on purpose. :-)
@dewinthemorning Pray? Oh yeah... nice one. Next you'll probably tell me that you're going to slaughter a goat and dance around the pagan maypole for luck. Now that I think about it... considering the competition, that might not be such a bad idea. :)
@6stringbadger Consider it done, if it's so important. If 'Our Father' doesn't do anything though, it's not my fault, I am not a sinner. ;) You'll have to accept that he needs a little sleep sometimes, considering how many prayers He has to answer.
@ToldCurkey I jam with my little brother sometimes, but I haven't played in a band in almost 20 years. Hopefully I'll stay motivated and continue recording. Thanks for the compliment.
@Wallimann Thanks for hosting the contest. It gives me an excuse to get back in the creative swing of things. Congrats on reaching 5000 subs, by the way. :-)
@debbieomi Thanks. I had some help. There's this lady on the internet who occasionally pushes and motivates me to get off my ass and do things. **hint, hint** As always, I'm not 100% happy with what I record, but I feel better having done it. Let's see if I can at least get an honorable mention when the contest ends on the 31st. Thanks Deb. xo
Beautiful: the Tone, the Chops, everything! Is that a Carvin Holdsworth Signature Model, by the way?

Woot! and Wooh!
You made that guitar live up to the name of the song. That was definitely a Mellow Fuse. Good for you, Matt, and Good Luck!! xo
