Man, Floyd, you sure know how to start a story to grab the readers attention. You do that with your songs, too.
Hey, noodling is often the best part of a good soup. Those rabbit holes you mention are probably important, especially as your blisters develop. hehe Left brain stuff is for learning how to do it right, while that wild and crazy right-brain guy in us who imagines playing in front of thousands of screaming fans is the drive that stifles that boredom.

When I hopped over to your sock dance I could hear the passion in the blisters. Dang, if you didn't say anything, I'd say you've been playing for years, and those are hardened callouses we hear. I REALLY like your taste, but that's certainly no surprise becuase of all the other evidence you've given us. As Dave mentioned, those bends are so good they say, "I've been playing guitar since I was 3."

Gotta learn those little marketing ploys. smile
I was a bit concerned I might sound like a hack. Thanks for alleviating those fears smile smile smile smile
I have been playing almost since I was 3. But the first 65 years, I sucked.

Now you know that, you can try mixing the blues scale and the major pentatonic scales together for some added fun. Same shapes different positions on the neck.
Sounds good.

Peter
Thanks.

You sound like you were born playing lead with bits of Santana and many others haunting the fingers.
There was plenty to hod attention in the flow...much more cohesive than most BIAB soloist instrumentals.
My 1st thought was to wonder if I could get you to play lead o a song for me.
Everything fine is resource in my greedy head.

Truly appreciate those thoughts.
Give me a bit more time...and we'll talk smile
