Greetings From South Africa

Greetings all. Great to join such an awesome site. Out here in sunny South Africa its cool to be able to get such distance learning.

I'm a blues lover with a metal axe....I have an Epiphone SG-400 extreme Goth, a Washburn X-series and an Ibanez semi-Acoustic playing through a Marshall Mgx-30 and a Digitech Rg-355 effects pedal. I play for pleasure now after many years of playing Flamenco, rhythm then moving on to keyboards and now onto lead guitar.
i'm 53 years young and maybe past my prime but my love for guitar has not waned..... i been playing since I was 14. I grew up in the Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, Jimi Hendrix era. Back then we called it "Underground" music.

So some of you may be saying that i should be on a geezer site, but just want to tell you that Dave Gilmour, Eric Clapton and Mark Knopfler are from my era and if you dont know who they are you really missed somethin.... I was around when the Strat and Les Paul were invented...hehe way before The internet, google, youtube and cell phones...yet we still play those old things....

Ok, so I've introduced myself and I certainly hope I didnt ruffle any young stalwarts feathers and if I did, its not my intention. i'm here to learn as much as the next person and "piss off" wy wife with my constant scale and licks practice.... I see some youngsters with some incredible talent on these forums and I believe that the instructors on this site have a lot to do with that.... I commend you on being such aspirations to the generation.

Great to be here and a privilege

Max
