Hello All...

I joined the site a little over a week ago, I think, I guess is time I introduced myself. I got my first guitar about 2 yrs. ago, a classical acoustic , thought I might give a go at learning. But, with the way my work schedule was at the time, I never had any free time to practice. A few weeks later, a guy I worked with was looking for an acoustic ; he told me he wanted to trade an electric for it, the only catch was he had put it in a pawn shop. We worked out a lil' deal ( his terms) if I paid off the pawn...$63.00, he would trade guitars with me, then on next payday he would pay back the pawn ticket to me. So, I got an almost new Fender Strat for what I paid for the classical...I think $89.00. Now, after being able to move back home to South Carolina from California, I have a bit more free time on my hands to get it out of the closet and learn.
I also wanted to say, after reading a lot of the posts here, and looking at the lessons, I think I found a great site to learn from you all here. Well, I guess enough rambling, back to practising.

Thanks,
Todd
