- About me:
Guitarist for 27 of my nearly 40 years. Big fan of FZ and DZ (obviously). Music is my life force - I consume music like most people consume oxygen. I'm a very proud daddy of two boys - Jonathan, age 3.5 years and Daniel, age 2 weeks (as of 6/6/2011).
I learned my first guitar scale from Dweezil, by repeatedly re-winding a video on Nickelodeon's program "Nick Rocks", in which DZ demonstrated a scale/mode that HE picked up from Warren DiMartini. I still don't know the proper name for this scale, but I still use it a lot. Thanks Dweezil!

Happy Holdidays and best wishes...
Keep Rockin!
Hey Riff Raff! Thanx 4 your Friendship! Have a good time on this Site...
Hi MrDo! Riff Raff is my nickname, which started out as a CB radio handle, if you can imagine that. For me, it refers to the song by AC/DC. And being a guitarist, having the word "riff" in your nickname is cool. :-) All other references (including Underdog and Rocky Horror) are just happy accidents. :-)
Hi Riff Raff...thanks for the add...is Riff Raff an underdog reference?
