hi this is acapo i dont want to give away my age but ive been pickin since i was 16 that was 50 yrs. ago played professionally till a couple yrs. ago i still play occasionally with friends and i do a lot of recording and writting when im not on this computer.i can say i agree with learning by practicing scales strumming patterns and just expermenting i still learn something new everyday when it stops being fun bring on my bed with a lid on it i can say music keeps your mind young and opens you to new ideas,one thing i can recomend for new guitarist try not to think about what licks or riffs ahead of time your playing will suffer let the chord changes influence where your fingers go and old saying if you have to think about what your playing your not playing if your lucky enough to be in a band feed off the rest of the people your playing with play for the audience not at them if your not sincere with what your playing they will pickup on it and the lack of response only conferms that if you enjoy what your doing so will they and let you know clap clap clap ect.ect. one final bit of advise limit your intake of booze it slows your brain down if want to play the blues all night drink a lot smoke  and die before your time i have lost a few friends who were great musicians to that lifestyle well im through preaching weigh my words with your own reasoning and i wish you all well acapo

I thought the lycrics were very much like searching as if on some spritual journey for answers that cant be given in our physical state if its any comfort one of the laws of physics is "matter can niether be created or destroyed" if you burn a piece of wood you dont destroy the wood you only change the molecular structure that piece of wood has changed to ashes much the same with all forms of life after death they decompose and take on a new identity we as humans myself included wonder what lies beyond these earthly bonds im not worried because i believe everything in this world,solar system,galaxie and the entire universe is made of electrical charges the physical body is comprised of atoms protons neutrons electrons and some particles even smaller the human mind "thinks" and the process of thinking is nothing more then electrical synapses of the brain as is the physical makeup of everything in gods universe dont worry you,ll have the answers when you depart enjoy the present the past is gone and the futures just beginning acapo

least we not forget the little hamlet of salem where over zealist "christians" burnned people at the stake without a shread of evidence history was repeated in the 1950ths senator eugene mccarthy from my home state of wisconsin accused everybody of being communist actors,other politicians even howard huges the witchcraft trials were a example of the ignorant stupidity of people and the consequiences were as brutal as any,innocent people died because of the acusers own unfounded fears we can see examples throughout history i remember a quote:if we do not learn from the lessons of history we are condemed to repeat them,lets hope we dont take to long  acapo
