...Welcome To RTZ Guitars & Amps At CBN

 

http://www.vh1savethemusic.org/ 

I'm feeling not hate but love,
drinking wine and not blood.
But it grows like a cancer
turns into a monster.
It leads me, misleading
Cut now I'm bleeding.
Doubt which surrounds me
so dark and confounding.
From the depths of a child's mind
whose not yet conceding
She might not know
about all that she's reading.

But there he comes like a soldier
Heart still a' smolder,
Must be a fighter,
Face young but soul older.
Faced dealers and liars,
armed arsons with lighters,
but I only ask
how to burn without fire.

He's shown me now that
it's not simply nothing.
It's all about freedom
of standing for something.
Now that I'm
in the thick of the war,
Just looking for something worth fighting for.
There's vengeance and malice
the spilling of blood.
But in this life, this battle,
I'll fight for love.

But things change!

Running On Faith

 I agree 100%...And I'm glad you've hung around long enough to see the bigger picture---it makes me feel a whole lot better about it...Me, and many others who are gone now, just came here to build, learn, and jam--and that's what we ran up against...And it was a lot worse when I got here. I fought it hard and became kinda thuggy about it...That wasn't right--but I don't like seeing people get crushed...I think we share that.

RTZ,

Yeah, I've been trying to get as broad a range of ones and styles as I can.

Nope, the last one, Gypsy Caravan, was played, originally fingerstyle ( lots of right hand thumb for the arpeggios), but recorded using a metal pick for more volume, on my new Yamaha Guitalele. It's like a 6-banger uke, tuned in " standard" A ( same as a standard guitar capoed at the fifth fret). Has a sweet tone, no?
