first of all, this site is kickass
when i heard "Urgent" by Foreigner the first time my love for rock was born

and since then i was dreaming of playing guitar myself. Sadly it didnt happen for a looong time. Last year i got an electric guitar for my 38th

birthday and since then am practicing as regularly as my spare time allows. Until now iīm as far as to play a few riffs so that other people can recognize them (wow - thatīs smoke on the water

) and i learned a few major chords, only the chord changes could be faster
i hope to participate from your experience and to keep my motivation for training up, since i got a few other hobbies going on, as having a 1 1/2 year old daughter and a 9 year old son, driving a car simulation championship online in a clan, surfing the web without end and doing some graphic designs.
