Update – My Blog

Wanted to thank everyone for all the support on GH so far and to give you all an update.

GH has been a big success an gotten more coverage than I could have ever hoped for but I am also a musician and as such want to concentrate on getting better at guitar, record an album and help to get the message about good products I use along the way.

This doesn't mean that GH is not going to be kept up to date but just means that it may not have daily updates.

To be kept up to date with my comings and goings check out my blog at
