    I’ve been playing for 20 years and the feeling that I still get walking into a guitar shop is the same. Excited and knowing that I’ll play a couple of guitars I would never be able to afford, a little mischievous.

      Ill make a suggestion. I suffered from depression for yrs as well. I tried every SSRI pill they make and all of them made it worse until I heard about a drug called Lamotragine. Its not an anti-depressent. Its actually an anti seizure med. But it has an "off label" use for depression. Its the only drug that has taken away my depression 95%. I have one or two bouts of depression a yr for maybe a day or two and thats it. Its dirt cheap. Under $10 for 30 of them and it has zero side affects.. Ask your Dr about it.. Those SSRI or ant psychotics are the worst thing you can take..

    I recently bought one of those Guitar Center exclusive Player Strats in black with the black pickguard. It’s a cheap way to get those David Gilmour strat vibes but not have to sell your soul to get it! It has the three single coils but I’m gonna put a Dimarzio fast track 2 in the bridge to make it better for heavier music. I just saw in your video that they had like three of them hanging up.

I've been dorking around with guitars for about 20 years and your posts always make me feel proud to still be a 43 year old newbie.
    Any chance "mama metal" can give us a cameo in a future episode? Sounds like a great mom, I'm sure many subs would love to know more about. I rarely post comments, but had to throw down kudos, your channel and personality is truly unique and uplifting and I always appreciate you brother. Cheers my friend.

    Hey Ray, if you want to travel further to a PA GC, Lancaster's store is awesome but avoid the Harrisburg store (I'm from there). The Harrisburg store has pretty much nothing, they rarely stock anything new and just isn't worth the trip from anyone out of town. The Lancaster store is definitely worth trip, however.

    Ray did you ever get to shops in Reading or Allentown? Reading used to have a few. There was a good one a very short distance from the Berkshire Mall on State Hill road. But that was 25 years ago now. And Penn Ave is still there afaik.

    I literally can't keep a JP pick in my hand for more than 30 seconds. There is zero grip. I use the max grip jazz 3's.

      Max grips are too tiny for me, I use the Andy James flow or the big stubby's for playing and never drop the pick
