Michael Angelo Batio

The Hands of God Over Fretboard

Michael Angelo Batio or MAB surely is not just one of the greatest guitarists on the face of the earth but is the greatest master guitarist everybody has seen for times in history. Masterfully, he can play with his both hands called “MAB Over-Under” technique. He is the hands-without-shadows. He can play the fretboard from both side, above and the usual way from down. This is my serious exercise which I’ve practiced and loved playing that speeds up my usual type of playing by great extent. To be honest, I played and practiced this kind of playing when I didn’t know or saw him doing like that. One day when I was playing fretboard from above in my room, my brother came and made a lot of fun out of me and said you are a fool, no one do it but at that time I was just doing it for fun but after times I experienced that it speeds up playing by great amount and speeds up my playing concentration and my hands moving much faster then before doing it.

By the way, Batio is an exclusive user of Dean Guitars, both electric and acoustic. In 2007 he designed and developed a signature guitar with Dean, known as the “MAB1 Armorflame” that is not an instrument, but it's a weapon! I adore having and playing it but I can’t afford its price and also it is not available in my country but I see in my dreams having one and playing this master guitarist signature weapon (not an instrument or an axe).

The “MAB1 Armorflame" features an ultra slim, super fast, 24 fret neck, an Ebony fingerboard, EMG Active 81, S & 85 pickups, and a Floyd Rose tremolo, this guitar is not an instrument, it's a weapon!

MAB “Hands Without Shadows” voted the “no. 1 Shredder of ALL TIME” by Guitar One Magazine and also voted one of the “Top 100 Greatest Metal Guitarists of ALL TIME” by Guitar World Magazine and also, I voted him my great master teacher of all times. I love his techniques and his both hands playing.

Biography of MAB
According http://en.wikipedia.org

Michael Angelo Batio (pronounced /beɪtioʊ/, also known as Mike Batio or MAB) (born in 1956) is an American guitarist and columnist from Chicago, Illinois. Considered to be one of the fastest guitarists in the world, Batio was voted the "No. 1 Shredder of All Time" by Guitar One Magazine in 2003. He was also listed as one of the "Top 100 Greatest Metal Guitarists of All Time" by Guitar World Magazine, whom he writes the column Time to Burn for, and one of the "20 Greatest Shredders of All Time" by Total Guitar Magazine, both in April 2008.

MAB started playing the piano and composing music at the age of five, and first played guitar at the age of ten, reportedly playing faster than his teacher within two years. At the age of fourteen he started playing jazz guitar, and within two years he had won the Chicago-based "All-State Jazz Solo Award". He attended Northeastern Illinois University and achieved a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music Theory and Composition. After he had graduated, Batio looked to become a session guitarist in his hometown. When he asked for a job at a nearby studio, he was given a piece of music and simply asked to play it. Naturally, he managed to play it and added in some of his own improvisations and fills, making him the studio's primary call-out guitarist. As a session player, Batio recorded music for such companies as Burger King, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, KFC, United Airlines, United Way, McDonalds, Beatrice Corp. and the Chicago Wolves hockey team.
Batio began his recording career in 1984 when he joined new Chicago-based heavy metal band Holland, an eponymous project set up by ex-Steppenwolf singer Tommy Holland. With major label Atlantic Records, the band released their debut studio album in 1985 entitled Little Monsters, which saw moderate success in the United States. The band split up soon after, and a compilation of material from the Little Monsters sessions, Wake Up the Neighbourhood, was released in 1999 through Batio's label M.A.C.E. Music.

After the breakup of Holland, Batio started his own eponymous band with singer Michael Cordet, bassist Allen Hearn and drummer Paul Cammarata. The Band did not release any albums, though three of their songs appeared on the 1998 Nitro compilation Gunnin' for Glory.
In 1987 Batio joined glam metal artist Jim Gillette on his solo album Proud to Be Loud, before founding the band Nitro with bassist T.J. Racer and drummer Bobby Rock. In 1989 Nitro released their first studio album, O.F.R., from which they released two singles, "Freight Train" and "Long Way From Home". The music video for "Freight Train", which received much airplay on MTV, was notable for featuring Batio playing his now famous 'Quad Guitar', a notion which FHM Magazine voted one of the "50 most outrageous moments in rock history".

By 1992, Rock and Racer had been replaced by Johnny Thunder and Ralph Carter respectively, and it was in this year that they released their second studio album entitled Nitro II: H.W.D.W.S.. Included on the album was a cover of Ted Nugent's "Cat Scratch Fever", which the band also recorded a music video for. Nitro disbanded shortly afterwards.

In April 1993, Batio founded his own record label, M.A.C.E. Music, which became one of the first labels online in 1996. He used this label when he began recording his first album, No Boundaries, which he released in 1995. Batio's second studio release was Planet Gemini in 1997, which showed a very progressive, experimental side to his playing. In 1999, Batio released his first instructional video, Jam With Angelo, which came with his third studio album as a companion CD: Tradition. This was quickly followed by a fourth full-length album in 2000, Lucid Intervals and Moments of Clarity, which was credited to "Mike Batio and Rob Ross", the latter being the drummer. In 2003, Batio released his first DVD, the title release in his Speed Kills series, followed by the second, Speed Lives, in 2004. It was also in this year that Batio released a compilation album, Lucid Intervals and Moments of Clarity Part 2, which featured songs from Tradition and Lucid Intervals.

In 2005, Michael released his highly anticipated cover/tribute/studio album, Hands Without Shadows, which featured guest appearances from such musicians as Mark Tremonti (of Alter Bridge fame), Rudy Sarzo (of Ozzy Osbourne, Quiet Riot, Whitesnake and Dio fame) and virtuoso newcomer Bill Peck. In 2006, DVD Speed Kills 2 was released, in addition to the first in the new Hands Without Shadows series, Performance. Batio's latest release came in 2007, when his first two albums - No Boundaries and Planet Gemini - were remixed and remastered with additional drums, for an album entitled 2 X Again; the title of a song from the first album. Angelo also released three DVDs in 2007: Speed Kills 3, 25 Jazz Progressions and MAB Jam Session.
Two DVDs are slated for a 2008 release, one that focuses on neo-classical techniques and concepts and another which will contain Batio's live performance at the Simi Valley Cultural Arts Center on July 9. One of these DVDs is apparently to be entitled The Neoclassical Power Approach, according to the flyer for the aforementioned concert.

Batio is (self-taught) ambidextrous, able to play two guitars at the same time either in synchronization or using separate harmonies, as shown when he plays his famous Double-Guitar. Though naturally left-handed, he plays as a right-handed person when playing one guitar. Batio mastered the "Over-Under" technique, which involves flipping his fretting hand over and under the neck, playing the guitar both regularly and like a piano.

Batio taught guitarist Tom Morello (of Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave fame) while at college. Morello has credited MAB with teaching him in a feature article in Guitar World Magazine in 2005. Michael also gave lessons to guitarist Mark Tremonti after Creed broke up and Tremonti wanted to learn more techniques.

Batio is an exclusive user of Dean Guitars, both electric and acoustic. In 2007 he designed and developed a signature guitar with Dean, known as the MAB1 Armorflame.

Batio was the inventor of the Double-Guitar, a V-shaped, twin-neck guitar which can be played both right- and left-handed. The first version of this instrument was actually two separate guitars simply played together, as opposed to being one entity. A Flying V was fastened to a snare drum in a left-handed position, while another one was strapped around his shoulder. The next version of the guitar, as designed by Batio and guitar technician Kenny Breit, featured a flight case latch attached to the back of each guitar, which could reportedly be assembled in five seconds. In October 2003, Dean designed and built the "Mach 7 Jet", and on March 6, 2007, the newest version was delivered to Batio. The original Double went on display at the Chicago Hard Rock Cafe 'wall of fame' before it was relocated to a HRC in Egypt. Its whereabouts are currently unknown.

When the Double-Guitar was first used in concert, Batio noticed that the guitars created a lot of feedback when played together. He decided that he needed to invent a way to 'dampen' the strings when both guitars were played at the same time, hence the invention of the "MAB String Dampener", which is now available to buy from M.A.C.E. Music.

The Double-Guitar was recently named as the 8th "coolest guitar in rock" by online music magazine Gigwise.

As well as the Double Guitar, Michael Angelo also invented and designed the Quad Guitar. The guitar was originally built in conjunction with Gibson, and built by Wayne Charvel in California. The top two guitars have seven strings, while the bottom two have the regular six. The first Quad, as used in the video for Nitro's "Freight Train", was stolen in El Paso, Texas after the second show of Nitro's O.F.R. tour. When Batio was performing in November 2004, a young fan named Simon Jones and his father turned up with a guitar case which held inside the two top guitars of the Quad, as found by Mick Seymour. Dean designed and built a new Quad Guitar in 2007.

The Quad Guitar was recently named as the 2nd "coolest guitar in rock" by online music magazine Gigwise.

Batio's effects pedals are exclusively made by T-Rex, with whom he has also developed a signature model, the "MAB Overdrive".

Another signature piece of equipment Batio developed is the "MAB Hands Without Shadows" pickup, which he uses in his Double Guitar when touring. The pickup is specially designed for shred guitar, and provides the clean tone Batio is accustomed to. The Armorflame, Batio's signature guitar, uses EMG 81, 85 and SA pickups.


I suggest you to visits his official site @ http://www.angelo.com/ and also don’t forget to go and browse http://www.deanguitars.com/angelo/ . You can find lots of things to learn at those two URLs and you must see his hot sample video titled “Speed Lives” that I called it, the must-a-guitarist-has-seen video: http://www.deanguitars.com/speed_lives_mab.wmv

I’ve got lots of passion seeing it and it really changed the way of my playing by great extent. Don’t forget! He is “the hands of God over fretboard”.

Tribute to Jimi Hendrix (Father of Electric Guitar)


The father of electric guitar, Jimi Hendrix is one of lead guitar Gods who played this love machine and had great influence on developing it. Surely, his unique style of playing encourages great players afterwards as I can name Yngwie Malmsteen, who mentions in his biography that the day Jimi died he began and urges to be a pro guitarist.
By the way, I was just one year old when he died. Of course, his music career and works is always a great guide for me like all who loves electric guitar music.

I really fond of his mostly used guitar, the Fender Stratocaster. I always love playing Fender Stratocaster. It is one of my favorite gears forever. Specially, I love playing Yngwie's scalloped fret board like Stratocaster but I can't afford buying one. I like this gear in Daphne Blue. Daphne Blue is a great color for this gear that remind me the beach, seaside, sky and of course a passionate color to get highly desire for playing.

I really like his song titled: "Machine Gun". At following you can read his bio:

Biography of Jimi Hendrix
according and exactly have taken form his official site @ http://www.jimi-hendrix.com

Widely recognized as one of the most creative and influential musicians of the 20th century, Jimi Hendrix pioneered the explosive possibilities of the electric guitar. Hendrix's innovative style of combining fuzz, feedback and controlled distortion created a new musical form. Because he was unable to read or write music, it is nothing short of remarkable that Jimi Hendrix's meteoric rise in the music took place in just four short years. His musical language continues to influence a host of modern musicians, from George Clinton to Miles Davis, and Steve Vai to Jonny Lang.

Jimi Hendrix, born Johnny Allen Hendrix at 10:15 a.m. on November 27, 1942, at Seattle's King County Hospital, was later renamed James Marshall by his father, James "Al" Hendrix. Young Jimmy (as he was referred to at the time) took an interest in music, drawing influence from virtually every major artist at the time, including B.B. King, Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Buddy Holly, and Robert Johnson. Entirely self-taught, Jimmy's inability to read music made him concentrate even harder on the music he heard.

Al took notice of Jimmy's interest in the guitar, recalling, "I used to have Jimmy clean up the bedroom all the time while I was gone, and when I would come home I would find a lot of broom straws around the foot of the bed. I'd say to him, `Well didn't you sweep up the floor?' and he'd say, `Oh yeah,' he did. But I'd find out later that he used to be sitting at the end of the bed there and strumming the broom like he was playing a guitar." Al found an old one-string ukulele, which he gave to Jimmy to play a huge improvement over the broom.

By the summer of 1958, Al had purchased Jimmy a five-dollar, second-hand acoustic guitar from one of his friends. Shortly thereafter, Jimmy joined his first band, The Velvetones. After a three-month stint with the group, Jimmy left to pursue his own interests. The following summer, Al purchased Jimmy his first electric guitar, a Supro Ozark 1560S; Jimi used it when he joined The Rocking Kings.

In 1961, Jimmy left home to enlist in the United States Army and in November 1962 earned the right to wear the "Screaming Eagles" patch for the paratroop division. While stationed at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, Jimmy formed The King Casuals with bassist Billy Cox. After being discharged due to an injury he received during a parachute jump, Jimmy began working as a session guitarist under the name Jimmy James. By the end of 1965, Jimmy had played with several marquee acts, including Ike and Tina Turner, Sam Cooke, the Isley Brothers, and Little Richard. Jimmy parted ways with Little Richard to form his own band, Jimmy James and the Blue Flames, shedding the role of back-line guitarist for the spotlight of lead guitar.

Throughout the latter half of 1965, and into the first part of 1966, Jimmy played the rounds of smaller venues throughout Greenwich Village, catching up with Animals' bassist Chas Chandler during a July performance at Caf‚ Wha? Chandler was impressed with Jimmy's performance and returned again in September 1966 to sign Hendrix to an agreement that would have him move to London to form a new band.

Switching gears from bass player to manager, Chandler's first task was to change Hendrix's name to "Jimi." Featuring drummer Mitch Mitchell and bassist Noel Redding, the newly formed Jimi Hendrix Experience quickly became the talk of London in the fall of 1966.

The Experience's first single, "Hey Joe," spent ten weeks on the UK charts, topping out at spot No. 6 in early 1967. The debut single was quickly followed by the release of a full-length album Are You Experienced, a psychedelic musical compilation featuring anthems of a generation. Are You Experienced has remained one of the most popular rock albums of all time, featuring tracks like "Purple Haze," "The Wind Cries Mary," "Foxey Lady," "Fire," and "Are You Experienced?"

Although Hendrix experienced overwhelming success in Britain, it wasn't until he returned to America in June 1967 that he ignited the crowd at the Monterey International Pop Festival with his incendiary performance of "Wild Thing." Literally overnight, The Jimi Hendrix Experience became one of most popular and highest grossing touring acts in the world.

Hendrix followed Are You Experienced with Axis: Bold As Love. By 1968, Hendrix had taken greater control over the direction of his music; he spent considerable time working the consoles in the studio, with each turn of a knob or flick of the switch bringing clarity to his vision.

Back in America, Jimi Hendrix built his own recording studio, Electric Lady Studios in New York City. The name of this project became the basis for his most demanding musical release, a two LP collection, Electric Ladyland. Throughout 1968, the demands of touring and studio work took its toll on the group and in 1969 the Experience disbanded.

The summer of 1969 brought emotional and musical growth to Jimi Hendrix. In playing the Woodstock Music & Art Fair in August 1969, Jimi joined forces with an eclectic ensemble called Gypsy Sun & Rainbows featuring Jimi Hendrix, Mitch Mitchell, Billy Cox, Juma Sultan, and Jerry Velez. The Woodstock performance was highlighted by the renegade version of "Star Spangled Banner," which brought the mud-soaked audience to a frenzy.

Nineteen sixty-nine also brought about a new and defining collaboration featuring Jimi Hendrix on guitar, bassist Billy Cox and Electric Flag drummer Buddy Miles. Performing as the Band of Gypsys, this trio launched a series of four New Year's performances on December 31, 1969 and January 1, 1970. Highlights from these performances were compiled and later released on the quintessential Band of Gypsys album in mid-1970 and the expanded Hendrix: Live At The Fillmore East in 1999.

As 1970 progressed, Jimi brought back drummer Mitch Mitchell to the group and together with Billy Cox on bass, this new trio once again formed The Jimi Hendrix Experience. In the studio, the group recorded several tracks for another two LP set, tentatively titled First Rays Of The New Rising Sun. Unfortunately, Hendrix was unable to see this musical vision through to completion due to his hectic worldwide touring schedules, then tragic death on September 18, 1970. Fortunately, the recordings Hendrix slated for release on the album were finally issued through the support of his family and original studio engineer Eddie Kramer on the 1997 release First Rays Of The New Rising Sun.

From demo recordings to finished masters, Jimi Hendrix generated an amazing collection of songs over the course of his short career. The music of Jimi Hendrix embraced the influences of blues, ballads, rock, R&B, and jazz a collection of styles that continue to make Hendrix one of the most popular figures in the history of rock music.

The New Experiences

Mostly, I practice in a small room. Yesterday, I cleaned my room and put several unwanted things away from my room. Then, I begin to practice and play the Evergreen, my electric guitar, and found out that the sounds coming out my amp cleaner and smoother than before cleaning my room and throwing away unwanted things surrounding me into my room. Oh, that's so great if you haven't acoustic walls or haven't the chance to rehearse in a studio just like me. You can bend limits just like you can bend strings as much as you want. Sometimes, limits in your life make you progress fast and finding out great ideas to create new ways for achievement. Practicing in a messy room and a room in which you've got lots of things is not to be bad or worse but it is certainly the worst thing. I experienced that.

The sounds are nothing more than just waves that travel through your environment and come to your ears. In a quite room with as little things in it as it can be is absolutely right and progressive for playing and rehearsing music. Besides, in clean room you can have so much passion and creativity than a dirty one.

Another thing that I want to mention in this post and is very important is: "READ and RESEARCH music from books, articles, licks and other stuffs from magazines and of course from web BEFRE GETTING your guitar in hand and beginning your stuff." It gives your playing a goal or aim to achieve than just playing things routinely. Always, get away from routine and regular specified things and encounter new things by random.

DON'T BE AFRAID OF MISTAKES. I love mistakes and faults because they teach me lots of things but watch out! Don't repeat them. Mistakes are great teachers but just take them once.

BE COOL. DON'T WANNA BE A GUITAR HERO IN ONE DAY. Practice just like you want by your heart, be yourself and play your own style. Don't want to copy others work and licks but if you want to do their works, do it with something like new or creative addition. I don't want to say change it but I do say make it nicer and make it more perfect as you can do.

Listen to different kind of music and play in their mood with your guitar. I like this thing very much. Sometimes, I found wonderful music pieces listening to a music that was played with a piano or violin or other instruments.

Besides, I found an URL that you can learn lots of lessons from there and can use them in your music and that is just for free but need some times to spend going, browsing, reading and rehearsing. That URL is http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/lessons/ .

Guitarists

Why is guitar on all kind this much popular and gets more into music day by day? It grows more and more and you can hardly find a piece music or song without a guitar sound into it. I don't know why it is like this? If you have any answer for that, go on comment or send me email.
In my opinion, it is because you can wear it. You can feel it by your body. Your fingers touches its strings and most time it is much more nearer to your heart than most instruments. I love piano, electric sitar, bass, violin, and flute but the Evergreen, my electric guitar, is something so much different. I feel so hot with it. It sharpens my feelings, my heart, my mind, and every little cells of my body. I have got this passion for years when I was ten years old, when I was so child and couldn't afford buying one just like now.

"You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes
well you just might find
what you need"
The Rolling Stones

I know and like lots of guitarist from different types of music. I can name for example: "Jimi Hendrix", "Joe Satriani", "Steve Vai", "Yngwie Malmsteen", "Van Halen", "Glenn Tipton","Randy Rhoads", "Troy Stetina", "Jeff Hanneman", "Kerry King", "Zakk Wylde", "Chuck Schuldiner", and many more. All of them have some specific personal technics. Although, some of them had written great books but in my attitude the best way learning from them is by looking at their live videos. For a sample: Have you seen some of Joe Satriani's still pictures? He is very smart guitarist. He even use some his technics in them and that's a real proof how he mastered it. I will write lots of stuff in the following posts about all of them.

It doesn't make any difference if you are beginner or pro, you must practice everyday and also on each session start with warm-ups. Lots of the above mentioned guitarist have their own warm-up. Find all of them and do the same. Warm-up is very important. Devote at least a quarter to it. You can create your own type of it. I as a guitarist have created a lot. Sooner mine will reach the number 1001 and I will publish a book containing all of them. Huh huh huh, you can do the same if you have passion for that. Sometimes, I create three warm-ups a day.

By the way if you live at year 2008 just like me better get use of a computer and use the must-a-guitarist-have software named Guitar Pro 5. You can buy it at http://www.guitar-pro.com/ or ... .

I suggest the simple and very important one that is mine and you can download it at http://willieilliw.diinoweb.com/files/gp/Simple Warmup.gp5

Musicians

Beethoven, Bach, Mozart, Brahms, Hayden, Albeniz, Vivaldi, and many more great musician had done and paved the path for you. You can learn lots of things from them. You can find lots of wonderful piece of art in music and opuses from them.

The classic music is the base of all kinds of music. A building can not stand without base(s). So, if your building is like a feather that goes with wind from places to places, it would not be the building for you to live for lifetime.

The Beethoven's "Für Elise" for me is like the "Mona Lisa" painting. It has everything in it. Sadness or happiness, being good or bad, simplicity or complexity. A great eternal song. It always echoes in my ears. When I am writing songs, I am thinking about it at the same time.

I never get to school to learn it and no one had taught me about it. I learn it by my heart, by my passion. I never get tired and bored playing music or just a single song for twelve or more hours repeatedly. Playing a song for times. Every time you learn more, how to play it more nice, and you get it more. You understand things much better by workout.

I feel more love playing the Für Elise after years times and times. Most of time I feel like my soul is flying in azure sky or in heaven with nymphs.

There is a point, a great secret and it is: "The thing that comes from heart goes to heart." If you play notes with love, orderly and precisely then you will be more successful. Accuracy is prior to speed. Put accuracy on top of your priority list. Joe Satriani, surely the great guitarist, do the same and written it in his book. First play it accurate then go with higher speed. The more accuracy first, the more you can play with speed soon.

I have something else for progress I experience it. It is: "Don't be afraid of mistakes and faults.", "Don't panic!", "Don't fear any kind of hard rehearsal", and just be cool and confront music without any tension and stress. Just negotiate with different licks and get in the way of the music you are playing. Another point is a musician is an artist. He or she must care about other arts, too; Like painting, photography, cinema, theater, beauty, nature or every beautiful thing around you. Don't be afraid if they affect you music; otherwise, DO LET THEM TO! Sometimes, I go to art galleries watching pictures and seeing photos to promote me to create music. Sometimes, I think about what people like, care and I try to create something like that. I like photography, graphic, writing, reading art books and lots of thing but %99 of my attention and my focus is on music. As a musician and player %99 of my focus of my music attention is on electric guitar.

"Never say never." I never say never or never forget to think and care about other things. DO LET THEM to play parts in your playing and music achievement. I've seen and listened to lots of guitarists, bands, players, and musicians. I've read their biographies and found something important and valuable on all of them. Everything in their life affected their music career. Even the colors of their instrument or the way they dressed affects their job. Everything you feel, think, and care DO AFFECTS your music. Most artist and musician of course are emotional, with wonderful feelings, with wonderful creativity like the God. And it is a matter of delicacy to care about this and not to ignore or prevent it. Some of musician failed in the middle of ways or after years they give up feeling that kind of mentioned feeling.

YOU ARE DIVINE, a tiny piece of the God and surely that is enough for you to be like him a grand master creator. Don't care if some people make fool of you. Don't ignore your feelings. Don't underestimate it. Be persistent and don't give up if you get bored, create new things instead a specific one. You can reach sky if you want to. You are ideal divine. Respect yourself, others, music and your instrument. Clean and take care of your instrument. Don't leave it on a dusty bad place. Take care of it just like a baby.

Surely, your godly creation power will help you to progress. You are your best teacher and guider. Cultivate it instead of leave it all alone. If you be persistent, If you exercise precisely and hard surely you can make stones and walls to listen to you.

The passion for music is my first and best one that I can take. Forever I am with it and it is with me. Till next time, pals.

Music

Being musician is one thing and being guitarist is another; but if you try hard you can master both. It takes practice, practice, and practice. It takes hours, hours, and hours. It takes days, days, and days. It takes nights, nights, and nights. It takes weeks, weeks, and weeks. It takes months, months, and months. It takes years, years, and years. But after a decade if you have done it on and on, over and over; you'll get nearer to be a master musician or a great guitarist or both.
Guess! in which step am I? Huh, ha..., ha..... I am in hour step.
It is like a hammer and a nail. The more you hammer it precisely and hardly the more it goes to wood precisely and hardly.

It is so easy and have just two choices, YES or NO. The more you do it, the more you love it or the more you hate it. It all depends on you and what you want. If you try hard you may get what you want but surely you will get what you need. If you go on and on, you will love it if you thinking about good intentions. If you don't, it doesn't imply that you hate it. It implies that you want something else more than that in your life or maybe you do not need it at current time and just you need to do for pleasure or fun or something else. In my case, I need it and more than that I want it by all my essence. I do not want to prove anything or change anything but I want to live with it in every moment. It makes me cool and I feel better by doing it. I am not the first one that feel this way but I am one of those who had, has, and will have passion for it. I am writing down these words to share this feeling with you all in this world and I don't want to keep it secret.

Prelude

Hello, world. How are you doing? If you ask me so, I am doing real good. Feeling so good and nice like I used to be. Hope, you will do the same, too.

There is a passion in my heart and my mind says go on and do it and never give it up. Really, I love music. I love listening and playing music as a musician. It makes me to feel better and nicer. Oh, if you feel the same; our friendship is guaranteed forever.

I play music with my electric guitar. I called my love machine, the "Evergreen" or sometimes "Evergreen Tree". I love it from every aspect. It is not too good nor too bad but I feel great with it and that's nice. It is one thing for me and not many things. It is my love. It is my passion.

Hey, if you are laughing at me; so, go on. I like it, too. It makes me even feel cooler and better, too :-)

Passion

This is my first post. This blog is all about electric guitar, amps, players, bands, playing technics, licks, sample music and the passion of electric guitars.
