Once again, I am not sleeping. As such, and having decided to give this site some content above and beyond the minimum required, I'm going to write about music some more.
First, I invite you to open this and listen in a new tab while you read this.

That is a song by a band named Jethro Tull and the name is Aqualung.
What I do with music is I make faithful replications. That is, I try to recreate the music as accurate as possible. What you hear from me should sound nearly identical to what you hear on the radio. That's my job when I perform. I cover music artists. I recreate their music.
Anyhow, the above song is one of my favorites and what you're hearing is not just me. The acoustic guitar is a Martin D-28 being played by a young lady that has been studying for less than a year. She dedicates six hours per day, every day, to studying to master the guitar and she's gotten that good in less than a year. She's just sixteen.
I'm playing the lead. That's an electric guitar, obviously. That's a guitar known as a Les Paul with (for most of it) an effect known as 'distortion.' Technically, that's fuzz - which is a type of distortion. I cheated and that's a Marshall amp but I'm using profiler on top of it to sound like one of the old Fender silverface amps.
If you'd like to hear the original song, here's a YouTube link:

Obviously, there's no drum in there and we were only playing the guitar parts. But, that's the original. I do play other instruments, but I seldom bother to record them unless someone specifically requests something. My first love was percussion but I've been playing the guitar for nearly five decades. (It will be exactly 50 years on 12/25/2018.)
It's a passion. It's a dedication. A rough estimate is that I've probably had a guitar in my hands for about 40,000 hours.
What are your passions? Am I the only musician here? Are there any music-related questions that I can answer for you?
