Hey

hi, my name is mike and im 17. ive been playing the guitar for about a year and a half. i find myself just doodling on the guitar for several hours every day. i was looking at guitar tabs a few days ago and found an add with a video to this site and i was intrested even though i was unseccsesful at playing what the kris was playing and i want to get serious about the guitar. i have been browsing through the video archives and i find that things are easier to play then others and i thought it would be nice to see an experiance level next to the video to see if im even ready to play that segmant. now this is the first class/lessons i have ever taken and damnit i can not keep my pinky finger close to the fret board it always flies 5000 miles away.
