46.
Started playing about 30 months ago (sounds a lot less time than 2 & half years). I have been self taught using the internet which is a fantastic tool for getting information. I dont have timing inside me yet but I am working on it. When I hear music being played, I hear the phrasing, the timing, the beauty of it. When I play, thats not there...yet. Its coming - each time I record myself (which is not very often) I can hear I am better - I am starting to feel the music through my fingers much more - I am starting to instinctively play the right notes so I know I am on course. My biggest problem is finding something I want to learn, I am eager to play a whole song and I think that is difficult to do on your own - I have tried to find others to jam with as I am sure that will help enormously but so far not managed to so - I keep looking !. Just recently I managed to play my first song all the way through - Led Zeppelins "livin loving maid" - fairly easy but so satisfying to be able to play it all the way through. - I want to play it with a drummer and bass player and who knows, even a singer now. My goal is to be able to play the blues like Darrel does (Texasamp). I can play blues to a backing track reasonably well but I dont know quite enough licks to play more interestingly than I do, It all gets a bit repeptitive with me as the licks I am making up all sound the same ...lol. I like Kris's music but I know I am never gonna be a "Shredder" and whilst what he does sounds great, its all a bit fast for me. I am more BB King..David Gilmour...Peter Green... blues prog rock kind of a guy I reckon. If you get the chance - listen to "blue jean blues" by ZZ top - thats what I am talking about - simple simple simple easy blues that even I can play rhythm to. If you find a site with blues solo's tabbed out with backing tracks included let me know and I will be kept busy for hours. Jeez I ramble on a bit don't I? -------------------- its not easy

I'm 14 - If I carry on practicing until I'm the age of some of you guys, I should be pretty good!
