I am Lee, I play guitar and write music. Here, I will blog about all things related to my guitars, guitars in general, my music, and anything else guitar or music related that I think you will be interested in.
There will be a weekly(ish) guitar diaries post, plus anything else relevant that deserves its own post.
Things to look out for in the near future:
- Metallica Riffs video with a twist.
- Schecter Omen-8 demo (featuring an original song)
- more original songs...
I am Lee. I play guitar, write music, film videos for YouTube ( which is a fairly recent thing apart form 2 videos I made 8 years ago).
I started playing guitar when I was 14, over 20 years ago! 24 to be exact!
I was heavily into Guns 'n' Roses, Metallica, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai to name a few, and played the guitar for hours on end...
The first guitar I played was a fender copy by Encore. As well as learning to play, I wanted to be a luthier, so I had a go at levelling the frets. It didn't go well...
I think I took most of the metal off, and it was far from playable after.
Not to worry, I was able to buy my first guitar at that point. It was a Dean DS91.
As you can see it is in a slightly sorry state! For some crazy reason I swapped one of the pickups, and I have now lost the middle single coil.
This guitar was heavily used for around 4-5 years, and the frets have some deep gashes in them from excessive wear and tear.
I have attempted to level them, but still need to finish it off...
Anyway, after that, I got an Ibanez Jem 555 in Black, in 1998, which I still use to this day (you will see it featuring in some of my videos).
It has had the frets levelled, which had some deep grooves in them, just like the Dean, but there is still enough meat on them to use it from time to time.
From there, I got a 1972 Les Paul Deluxe, an Ibanez Jem7V (second hand as I couldn't afford the large price tag), and SG double neck, and more recently, a Schecter Omen-8, which I love!
Stay tuned for my forthcoming posts and videos! :)
