About

Daft Paragon is pretty much exactly what you’d suspect it is.  A guitar-related blog.  Our goal is to gradually expand beyond just guitar, so don’t be surprised to see other random things come up, but it’s guitarists writing about things interesting and important to them. Jay Ratkowski is the founder/owner/dictator behind things.  Whenever he can get friends to help with the writing, it happens and it is good.
