    Guitar names?

    So i got to thinking today, A lot of people name their main guitar. The one that they use most often. Famous players such as BB King and Gary Rossington and Gary Moore named theirs, Lucille, Berniece, and Greeny respectively. So what have ya’ll named yours? My explorer is Mary Ann. Dont judge 😂

    New solo approach?

    What approach do you guys take to learning a new solo? Just jump in, start to finish? Tackle the hard parts first? Break into sections? Also what do you do if said solo contains a technique you are unfamiliar with? Just curious to see peoples different methods 🤘
