What guitarist was you inspiration to pick up a guitar and learn how to play? Mine was Jimmy Page

Did anyone get some cool gear for Christmas? Share your pics! I did not get anything as far as music gear, however my wife did buy me some new lights for my videos. They were much needed. I’ll have some cool pedal videos coming in the next week or two. Stay tuned!

I’ve tried to learn finger picking for several years. As long as I’m not really thinking about my fingers and trying to stay in rhythm/time, I can do ok. But the second I lapse and focus my thoughts on my fingers, it all goes south. Usually only a minute or two. How can I keep my fingers going in rhythm for an extended period of time??? I thought it would come with time and practice, but I’m not so sure anymore.

Sorry for multiple posts this week, but I’m bursting at the seams about my son’s bass. If you’ve followed me, you know I have asked for insight on this build and you all did not disappoint! All I have left before Christmas is stringing it up and setting the intonation and pickup height. Sure hope he likes it.
