I have been playing for just over 1 year(since march 06) and i play a gig friday! i will explain were and why we are playing now. It is a fundraiser for my school called the "coffee house" and anyone who can get a song or anything together gets to get on stage on rock out! yesterday me and Spoon(the other guitarist, we are only 2 guitarist playin a song) got together and jammed for 1 hour before gettin a Song ready. We are playing our modified version of Wish you were here. 1 extended solo no lyrics. I AM PUMPED! we were thinkin of gettin high then going, but probly not. My other Question for any guitar "experts" is what kind of active pickups should i put in my 2006 Fender Stratocaster standard. It is mexican made....WISH ME LUCK AND SMOKE A BOWL FOR LUCK!!!!!!
