Hmmm... good thought Les! Of course Free Bird is already taken, but I'm sure something else will fit the bill!

Becoming a great guitarist has less to do with fancy moves than it does becoming a master of the basics and learning musicianship.
It's not what you can't do. It's how you play what you already know.
