RE: 10 tips to improve Guitar practice, FOREVER!
Mine's Hey Joe (the Hendrix version) I must have 50 different ways I play it- I always think of something to throw in. What kind of music do you play?

Ah nice, got to love that track! I like to give everything a go whether it be jazz, metal, indie rock, classical, everything interests me! But I'm always going to be drawn towards good solo rock guitar, I'm a large fan of Jeff Beck, Jason Becker, Andy Timmons etc.
With me it's the old blues guys (I'm old it's what I grew up playing) Elmore James, Hubert Sumlin, T-Bone Walker. When I made the transition into rock it was Alvin Lee (I never liked Hendrix until I saw him live), Beck, Now it's guys like Dime, Satriani, Tommy Morello... Check out Daniele Liverani on YT- This guy is a virtuoso, not just in rock, but classical, jazz... He can play instrument- writes concertos for all of them. In short- he's an amazing musician!
I will definitely take a look at him! I can only begin to imagine how great Hendrix must have been live, such a shame he left us when he was still so young! I love satriani as well, I remember when I had only been playing for a few months trying to learn surfing with the alien and how impossible it seemed! It's great how simple it was to find someone with similar interests on Steemit!
I saw Hendrix in San Francisco in 66 or 67 (Winterland I think- those days are kinda hazy) It was him, John Mayall, Albert King and I think Big Brother... $2.50 to get in! I saw him again at the Atlanta Pop Festival... what a show! Ten Years After, Johnny Winter, those are the only ones I remember.
I'm trying to make enough writing on here to get an ESP with EMG's. A friend has one, Billy Connally an incredible guitarist, he says they're great!
