Guitar Stones

• Learning from the Chad Johnson book "GUITARIST'S GUIDE TO SCALES OVER CHORDS." On vacation for a bit I do not have my guitar with me, but I have managed to learn scale forms mentally with the book.

• Some days ago I sold my Epiphone ES-339 Pro. More recently, I bought a great guitar that I hope to hold onto for a while: an Epiphone Casino with a hard shell case. I had one before, sold it, missed it, and glad I bought it again. I think the one I have now is even better than that first one?

• Reading Keith Richards' book "Life," and it's fasciating.
