hey everyone, my name's ben i just joined today.
i have a job where i have nothing to do so i can spend all day on here
haha. i'm 20 years old from manchester uk, been playing guitar for 8 years now. i got interested in
slide a few years ago cuz i've listened to old blues tunes since i was about 9! but its took me ages to get myself in gear so i only started learnin slide a month or so ago but i'm hooked already.
unfortunately i dunno anyone else who plays, or wants to. all my mates are into metal/grind stuff. i been playing funky stuff for years now (saw james brown a few months ago, what a laugh
) so i thought i'd check this place out and you all seem cool to get on with so i joined straight away. i'm sure i'll enjoy talkin to you all and i might harass you for tips if i'm gettin stuck with anything.
at the moment i'm practicing on a stagg jazz boxish thing i got for £100 from a cheap shop near my house (it looks pretty tho, all cream with gold hardware) but as soon as i'm good enough to justify it i'm getting a resonator. cant wait
anyway, hope to speak to y'all soon.
