Guitar Playing/Song Writing

Ben Started Playing guitar in the summer of 2006. He mainly plays songs by The Red Hot Chili Peppers. After getting his guitar skills better, he has started to write his own songs. None of them have been formally released, but they have been shown to a few of his friends. A few of the songs are just a joke, but they still have a story behind them and the others have been thought out and Ben wants them to be fully completed before he shows it to anyone (apart from his close friends).
