Hello GMC

I've just joined the site. My name is Khalid and I am from Qatar. 22 years old , been playing for about 9 months. I love all kinds of music but I never saw myself learning any instruments, then one day I was with one of my friends and he played some riffs on his guitar and that got me interested in learning about it.

I was just drawn to the guitar and all the different kinds of music you can create with it, and decided that I HAVE to learn how to play . Anyways the past 9 months were not easy and I wanted to quit more times then I care to remember but that's not really an option now lol

In the end I would just like to thank you guys for your lessons they cover everything I ever wanted to learn about.

Ben, I like pretty much anything that sounds good to me, but my main favorite bands include Kamelot, Dream evil, Dream theater, Three days grace, BFMV, Metallica,Megadeth, Ensiferum, Led zeppelin and a lot more : P.

On guitar (apart from the rock and metal) I really like playing neoclassical and rockish blues.
