Hi from UK

Hi everyone, I found this site last Friday and I love the recording studio area where you can listen to others.

Quick bit about me, 34 years old and my wife gave me my first guitar this Christmas and have just started to get to grips with it. Today I mastered a 'Blues Progression' and I actually kept up with a backing track on a CD - might be a small step but was I very happy. Fingers tips ache like they are on fire.

I just love the challenge of learning something new, my main hobby used to be flying and I was a flying instructor until I temporary lost my medical due to cancer treatment 9 months ago (all clear now). Without flying I have a lot of spare time now, and learning the guitar is filling this spare time nicely right now.

I haven't played a musical instrument since I was 11 years old and I wish I carried on - playing a instrument is great fun. Glad to be able to join you fellow guitarists
