As many of you may know Guitar Center has a yearly contest where unknown guitar players compete head to head in a blues competition to see who is king of the blues. I went to the contest last year and saw a few of the players who entered the contest and thought to myself that I should enter the competition as I could play the blues as good as some of those who were competing. Hence, I have entered this years competition hoping that I could win the 1st round for the day that I am competing (May 19th, 2011). I know I will never win this competition as I am competing against some really good guitarist.  If I win the 1st day I will eventually face my buddy Izzi Rodrigues who is a much better guitar player than I. I am a singer who plays the guitar to write songs. That being said this is a recording that I made of what I intend to play on the 1st day of the competition. I need everyone's honest opinion and feedback if I intend on winning the 1st day of the competition so I can face Izzi in the finals. Much props to you my friend Izzi you rock!! I will value your opinion the most man. So, let the comments rip. Keep in mind that this was a freestyle jam. I kept this take(it was take 4) as it was played in one sitting all the way through.

King of the blues

Perhaps the coolest thing Ive ever written. There are only guitars and me in this song.

Doot

I felt like writing a song today so I asked my Facebook friends to suggest a topic for the song. My friend Mary Ramirez serving overseas in Iraq suggested I write a song about the female solider. This is what I came up with in about 2 hours. So Mary from one solider to another, I have written this song specifically for you.   

Thank you Mary
