I've been exploring you tube as a way of discovering new music and found amongst others  Justin King a guitarist/singer/songwriter.  I love this one called " Untitled Project".

If you sing (which I don't) and play guitar check this out: Digitech Vocalist Live 2.  It's a vocal harmoniser it sounds great!  Although I think you'd need to use it sparingly.

I damaged my guitar somehow and I'm thinking about having the body re finished:  either having a  liquifay finish or something by Sims Custom Shop maybe a picture of Hellboy.

I bought a couple of great books by Rikky Rooksby including How to write songs on Guitar I wish I'd had this book when I was seventeen.  If you go to Amazon using the link above you can see the contents I'm finding it very useful....

Oh and I became the proud owner of a copy of Cubase 4 Studio last week and it's great!!  I tried a demo of Sonar 6 and couldn't get on with it.  Now to find some inspiration....
