Most who know me, know I am not much of a drinker, I can smoke weed with the best of them, but not too into drinking. Have had alot of shit going down the last month, found out my old man has terminal lung cancer, they giving 1-2 years, heart cant handle surgery, just finished radiation. Hence those on my Facebook see my "Out golfing to clear my head" posts. So I went to a concert the other night and got totally wasted! I am normally the driver but stayed at a friends house this concert because it was a 2 hour drive and a late one. about 5 rye and cokes before the show and 11 tallboys at the show and this was the result. a few drunken pics with member of the band The Lazys, my 2nd favorite band only next to Monster Truck Here is me and Matty the lead guitarist after the show, he wanted me to try to get my "The Lazys" tattoo in the pic i think LOL... I dont even remember this picture, my friend sent it to me the next day And here I am with Liam the rhythm guitarist, this was about 5 tallboys in, I remember this one LOL I said "Hey, King of the North, get your ass over here for a picture" LOL He resembles Jon Snow from Game of Thrones LOL Was all and all a good night to clear my head and not think of shit, now ready for the battle coming, the old man is a fighter, he gonna give it a go!

This happened in my stomping grounds, I am in Hamilton all the time, a few times a week usually :-(

Im gonna have to show Rugger how to hold a bass if he ever makes it to a Canadian fest!!! jacking that poor buggers jaw!!!! Looks like a bunch of fun and I see a buncha faces I miss!!! Heres to hoping ya all come back to Canada soon!!!!

here are my other Gibson babies! My 2011 '61 reissue TV Yellow, my '92 standard and my 2018 LP Double Cut with some screeching P90's in it I love my TV Yellow! I want 1 of every Gibson Model in it by the time I am done

I dont dip it too far when I do, my buddy the lead guitarist of Monster Truck has cracked the neck on his custom shop '62 in TV Yellow doing a massive neck dive in a live show, he hammers em in there, i go maybe a half step drop if that. The guy I bought it from swapped out the bridge pick up for the 57 classic zebra, I still have all the original parts if I want to put it all back to original, only thing is if I do, there will be the damn holes in the body from teh bigsby butcher job LOL

It actually holds its tune very well because I never use the bigsby, a few tunes i do a quick little neck bend, i know i know, not good for the neck but damn it sounds sweet in the right spot LOL. I dont know for sure what the model number is, looking back in my emails from the guy he listed it as SG61TVCH the serial on the headstock is 118711332. I called Gibson before buying it and they confirmed it was one of the 100 made only for Canada. I am in Ontario and had it shipped from Alberta so wanted to make sure all everything was right with it before sending buddy the 1200 plus shipping I paid.

I WISH the guy I bought it from didnt put the bigsby on it! I never use it, and this guitar is 1 of only 100 made that year in that color only sold in Canada, it is a sought after guitar that should be worth something one day.... if he didnt go and drill into the damn body (yes, he DIDNT use a mount!!!) but the lead guitarist of Monster Truck has 2 of this same guitar, so I HAD to have it. I am just running it through a solid state Marshall 40 and a digitech effects pedal using the JCM800 setting with some tweaks to compression sustain and distortion trying to get it close to the Monster Truck tone

I keep popping in to visit, when are you going to come see me in Wreckfest? This relationship is a two way street damn you!!!! LOL

CANADA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHat up dude!

My newest guitar cover, not a flashy hard tune, just a good beat and a great riff! Thats what I love about these boys, they make easy sound good LOL

Alrighty, here goes!! I was 17, serving 12 months in a youth detention center here in Canada. At night I would hear one of the councilors/guards playing guitar after us youths/inmates went to bed. I knew my folks had an old guitar kicking around at home. This was an "open custody" style detention center. Meaning dorms, open doors, you could walk out at any time, but, if ya did, you went to maximum security, so, ya didnt want to screw up! I asked the guard if he would teach me to play, he said if I went 2 weeks with no infractions he would put in a request to allow me to bring in a guitar. I did it and he kept up his end. He started to teach me the basics and I caught on fast, within a month he was teaching me short classical finger picking pieces, Intro to Dust In The Wind, Intro to Stairway, Bouree in E minor, 316 by Eddie V. He saw something in me and made me see something in myself. When i got out of custody I kept playing and practicing for a year or so then life took over, responsibilities, kids, work. I didnt play guitar for about 15 years. Then my Father won a Walking Dead custom electric guitar in an online contest and gave it to me, I bought a small amp and started goofing around. Then along came this rock band from Canada called Monster Truck. I wanted sooo bad to learn their songs and would spend hours pouring over youtube videos and such to figure out the riffs (i am mostly tone deaf, figuring stuff out on my own by ear is near impossible for me, I need Tab or 1 on 1 instruction) I started learning more and more of their tunes and became friends with the band on a personal level. The boys in the band even had me up on stage to play a song with them a year or so ago after I lost over 140 lbs of fat to fit into their clothing and merch! Now I get to go hang out with the band nearly weekly, get to hear and watch them record and create new songs for the upcoming albums and get to pick the lead guitarists brain about his riffs and his mastery of the D penatonic scale!

Always use a rubber!

I used to bang off shower beers all the time when I was a roofer... home from work sweaty and dirty, grab a cold on and hit the shower! Best beer of the day!
