Hi Gmc

Hello,

I am 20 and just started to play again after a long break from guitar. I decided to start from the basics and develop good technique from the get-go and learn about some new guitarists. I found that I like Eric Johnson alot, and wonder why I never listened to him before. His playing is awesome. I have an old crappy amp and a gibson epiphone (no tremolo bridge ) that I use to practice on.

My goal is to be able to play all of my favorite Ozzy and Van Halen songs, as well as write some of my own. I like Eric Johnson's live version of Cliffs of Dover from 1990, especially the clean intro. I'd like to play like that, very soft and clean. I'm a big fan of 80's style rock, so maybe I can incorporate the two somehow.

I am in the process of building my own electric guitar, so we will see how that goes. I am excited to have a guitar I can say it is the only one like it. So that will be neat. I am also working on building an amplifier for said guitar, so I can tweak any and every attribute of what my guitar sounds like. In short, I like building stuff myself

Thanks for listening.
