Greetings from behind the Redwood Curtain!

Hello everyone!

I have been playing guitar for nearly 40 years ... you'd expect me to be a LOT better than I
actually am. I reached a plateau in my early 20's, and never continued beyond that point. I expanded my
musical horizons by learning other instruments, and increasing my knowledge base, but only recently
starting stretching myself on the guitar again ... hence my finding this forum and finally writing this
introduction.

I started out with old-time Country Western music,
because that's what my Aunts and Uncles played. (My Uncle Buck was lead guitar for Dixie Lane and
played on her single "Cold Black Water")

I moved into religious music in my high school years, and took a year of classical guitar in my sophomore year. I joke that it ruined me for playing most everything else, but that's not really true. I fingerpick arpeggio patterns a lot ... the very first
one I learned was off of a television commercial for
Hershey's "Great American" chocolate bar.

I reside at the edge of the continent between the majestic redwood forest and the cool waters of the Pacific ocean, just barely in California. Although
I've moved away several times, I keep returning to this little spot, and I play the same guitar I carried to high school here all those many years ago. (I've got others, but I'll never part with my little Yamaha red label sweetie.)

Guess that's more than enough for an introduction.

Wishing you all the best,

Eury
