Hey Monte-
As you and I don't need an introduction but I will post my goals for you and answer your questions.
1. Very Limited but have started to work on this knowledge.
2. Counting is a new to me also but working on it.
3. A couple of lessons come to mind..

4. MY name is Dan and I live in Cleveland, Ohio. My main goal is to get my ideas floating in my head to my guitar and develop the techniques for me to get there. I am very basic lead player but an expiernced rhythm player. Hopefully by the time the MTP is in full force I will be able to accomplish what I have set out to do.
Let's get this rolling!
