Welcome to my late introduction!
I call it late because I've been a member of GMC since mid last year, but until recently I have had to inclination to post anything on the message boards.
I've been playing guitar for about two years, and last year i stumbled upon the site when searching something on google. I immediately fell in love with the site, the lesson and the instructors are amazing. And from what I've seen on the message boards everyone is pretty supportive which is always great for a learning environment. I very fond of ESP and Dean guitars, and I would consider myself a all around genre player, but I am a cult follower of metal music especially Iron Maiden, Rhapsody, and Megadeth.
This is a great site to learn music and to be with peers.
Keep those fingers callused,
Brett aka Rando
