I’ll be hitting the big 40 later at the end of this year. Even though I’m hitting 40 soon and getting older… still though, a lot of people don’t see that I’m 40. I don’t look 40 and people think I look like I’m 20 years old. Getting older but still looking young. Not sure why that is. A lot of people don’t treat me like I’m 40 but many treat me like as if I’m still a kid. That’s okay, though.

Also, as I get older, many people have been giving me nice compliments about my looks lately. I was never one of those who brag about how good I look like most people do these days ’cause I never thought I was good looking, handsome or attractive but more women and even some guys have been complimenting me about my looks lately which feels really good. The more people say things like that, the more it makes me want to be around people more and feel more confident with myself. I don’t post a lot of selfies on facebook/instagram and all that stuff but when I do, that’s when all the nice compliments will start coming in. I never thought I was good looking or handsome but if others want to think so, that’s fine. I’m not saying I’m god’s gift to women or anything but it does help me realize that I should have no problem getting women in my life, though.

You just gotta stay positive about yourself. Not listen to negative people badly judging you all the time and a lot of people has badly judged me. You can’t listen to negative people. Just continue to live life the way you want to and continue to be happy. Keep on keepin’ on. You know what they all say? The older you get, the happier you get which is true.

We all know that the acoustic guitar is mostly known for playing country, folk, and blues music on it. The acoustic guitar was never well known for playing rock n’ roll on it but why not? Acoustic rock does exist in the mainstream music world. For starters, it was Led Zeppelin that started the whole acoustic rock thing. That’s pretty much where I got my acoustic rock sound from was by listening to too much Led Zep pretty much. There have been other acoustic rock artists in the industry like Neil Young for example. Dave Matthews is another one. Simon & Garfunkel definitely and also the Beatles. There’s also Creedence Clearwater Revival and Lou Reed who took acoustic rock to another level.

What I wanted to do was write rock songs on the acoustic just as you would on the electric guitar. That’s probably why a lot of my acoustic originals sounds so tight and energetic most of the time. I think that’s what my internet album is gonna sound like. It’s gonna be an acoustic rock album. Most of it will have hot guitar playing on it. It could be an album for every guitar player’s dream. It’ll probably have solos and shredding all over it.

I try to do the folk music thing and write mellow songs but I’m more used to writing rock stuff, though. I’ll try to write mellow stuff for the album and will. I’m just hoping to take acoustic guitar playing to the next level. It’ll be a rockin’ album, trust me. Ya know something, everyone wants to view the acoustic guitar as a country, bluegrass or a folk instrument but it can be a rock instrument too and I wanna prove that. You don’t always need an electric guitar and distortion to play rock n’ roll. You can play rock n’ roll on acoustic too. If you wanna see more evidence of that, you have to see me perform live to believe it.

I just wanted to be different than everyone else musically. Something unique. Something that nobody has ever seen or heard before. There’s not many acoustic guitarists out there that play acoustic like the way I do. Not trying to sound egotistical, just telling it like it is.
