Biografia e influenze musicali

Hi I'm Tom (cody tripp, MajorTom_III)

I started playing guitar in 1968 after hearing Cream's 'White Room'. I walked across the street to my friend's house and traded 2 aquariums for his electric guitar. I was in several blues, blues/rock bands until 1983 and NEVER in my wildest dreams did I think I would play any other type of music because I thought all other types were crap. In 1988 I got divorced and the courts gave me custody of my 3 little sons. Being a full time single parent I had to give up guitar and music completely for the next 19 years....never thought I would play again and gave all of my gear away. In 2006 my son gave me a Les Paul and I was hooked again. I had to learn how to play all over GRRRR. It was frustrating because I had lost all my speed and technique and many solo patterns I had come up with I now had forgotten. But I kept at it and it took 4 years before I felt I was back to playing like I use to. About a year or two later I discovered Wikiloops. That changed my whole world. Now I was interested in playing any and every type of music...well except for rap, opera and death metal. I appreciated so many styles of music. Started writing and recording music like a mad man. I guess being without something you love, for so long, drives you crazy. SO thankful for my son who gave me the Les Paul and of course Wikiloops.
