gear list
so this is where i list actual tools i have and use. contrast the #tools tag, which is a conceptual bundle for bits of writing about tools.
i should also explain how im using these as tags .. basically i'm tagging everything the tool was used in. so when wolfsmilk is tagged #jazzmaster, that means i played that guitar on there. and then when you go to the jazzmaster page, it makes a list of everything on the site where you can hear that guitar !
(theres some more abstract connections too. tools i used that inspired tools i made, or are connected to each other somehow. but thats the basic idea where it makes sense!)
