Welcome to the Darkside of the Johnny: The Journey Begins

Hey, rockers and rollers, it's Darkside Johnny here, and yes, I might have just turned my 'About Page' into a bit of an accidental first post (thanks, Mary Jane, for the inspiration). But hey, in the spirit of rock 'n' roll, let’s roll with the punches.

So, here we are, officially kicking off Darkside Johnny Rocks. The journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step, or in my case, a slightly misdirected leap. But that's rock for you — it’s unpredictable, a little chaotic, and always unexpected. What's Up Next? • The Guitar Experiment: I'll be sharing my journey back to the fretboard. Will the muscle memory kick in? Can my new theory make guitar playing easier for everyone? Watch this space for updates, and maybe, just maybe, some embarrassing re-learning moments.

• Rock Tales: From the tales of bands like Led Zeppelin, who I swear once caused a tsunami of groupies with just one riff, to the time I saw The Who and thought my eardrums had permanently joined the band, I’ve got stories. And I'm gonna tell 'em. • Pop Culture Pulse: We'll delve into how rock music was more than just sound; it was a movement, a rebellion, a culture. How it spoke to us, for us, and sometimes, against us. Why This, Why Now? Because if there's one thing I've learned from rock, it's that it's never too late to start over, to try something new, or to get back to something you love. Life, like a good guitar solo, can be improvised. You don’t need everything planned out; you just need the courage to start playing. So, whether you're here for the theory, the nostalgia, or just to see if I can still shred after a 12-year hiatus, you're in the right place. Let's make this blog a place where the past meets the present, where theories are tested, and where the rock never stops. Stay tuned, keep rocking, and remember — in the world of Darkside Johnny, the show must go on! Rock on, Darkside Johnny P.S. Thanks for being cool about the mix-up. In rock, as in life, sometimes the best tracks are the ones that start off as a happy accident.
