is it Your improvisation??

[FrittsHetmansperger]

Yes, trying to think on my feet.

That's great playing, even without having to deal with paralysis! I've just recovered from GBS and I have started playing guitar. So that was inspirational! :D

[FrittsHetmansperger]

I'm glad to hear about your recovery. Funny how the illness inspires us to use our hands afterwards. Best of luck to you.

Great work! By any chance are you related to Frasier (The main actor Frasier in the US comedy show titled 'Frasier').... You look like him:P

Sounds great, and good luck on recovering your health.

PS - I read your comments over on the TDPRI forum about the Weber MiniMass. I think you just closed the deal on me picking one up!

~Sounds like Janis Joplins' guitar player tone...~~

[guitarboyled]

Very nice playing, got to get me a tele!

Wondering if the tone is modified by the Weber Attenuator? My wife won't let me play loud!
