Little Late I know
It was brought to my attention that I didn't even introduce myself properly, got so carried away on the forum, it totally slipped my mind.
Anyway, My name is Brian, I've been fiddling/playing/abusing guitars for the better part of 4 years now. Always wanted to play when I was younger, never had the money and such, but now I am doing what I always wanted to do.
My first guitar was a Fender Satin Strat.. decent guitar for me and it can take a beating, and lord knows I beat that thing (still have the plastic on the picguard and everything - 4 yrs now)
My other guitar is a Gibson Special Les Paul.. This is my baby for right now, and I do baby it, I don't play it much, because I'm worried I'll break it.. lol.
I put a couple of pictures of the two guitars up here, both electric, I need to buy an acoustic one of these days.
I like metal alot, but my weakness has always been fingerpicking and fingerstyle and I joined this forum with the hopes of getting to know more about music, theory, chord tones, and fingerstyle playing (Because it really sucks when you can play the chords to a Beatles song, but are totally clueless when it comes to the notes in between the chord strums) So with a little luck and some hard work, and a whole lot of patience, maybe I will be able to actually play fingerstyle to somewhat of a basic degree, that is my hope for right now. Maybe even learn a little about songwriting and mixing at the same time.
Sorry so long winded, just figured I'd make up for the fact that I didn't do this earlier.

Glad to have you aboard, Brian.
It's good to meet musicians from around the world. GFB & B is a great place to learn not only about music but people too. We're all one big musical family with a multitude of skill levels and we all live on the same floor. 
By the way, those are a couple of nice rigs you got there. I'm a sucker for a red guitar!
Here's my Ruby, RubyToo and Rose.

Welcome Brian, I like the used and battered film on the pickguard, you never know it may catch on.
Now when I talk to God he said he'd understand, Stick by me I'll be your guiding hand. But don't ask me what I think of you. I might not give the answer you want me to.
