Hello All.
.
As all of you I joined up to try to get some guidance in my guitar playing.
I've been playing at home for 3 years. Taught myself basic note reading.
Learned basic chords, strumming patterns. I am not the most musically
inclined person(love music,always listening to satellite radio). Always
have wanted to learn to play guitar before my fingers get to old and stiff.
Maybe too late, ouch some of the barre chords are impossible so far.
Just started with some finger picking styles (travis etc) sure sounds nice.
But have never taken a lesson due to time constraits. Too many of these
so called free sites are nothing but. Also forum should be good for advice
from people of all differnent backgrounds and skill levels, Don't suppose for
now that I'll be much help there. Basically I'm into old style clean country
from 50' & 60's mostly(John Cash,Merle Haggard, Lefty Frizzel, Hank Williams)
Maybe not most people cup of tea but I find pleasing to listen to and play.
I grew up with this music in my home and I guess it stuck with me. Don't
get me wrong I love rock n roll but banging away on a few distorted power
chords just doesn't do it for me. Clean and clear fender tube amp with tele
thats what I'm talkin about. Acoustic also great.

Well thank for listen to me ramble but you ask for It.

Kudos: Gordo
