Inroduction - Mike Connell Options

[Mike RR24]

Hello all. My name is Michael Connell and I am 46 years old. I an=m currently living in El Paso, TX.
I started playing guitar in 1980 when I was 15 and played on and off until about 1983. I played throughout the years but never really got very good and did not learn anything new. 2 Years ago I picked up the guitar again with my wife and we started playing together. My wife knew nothing and I only knew what I had learned in High School. Pull offs, hammer ons, slides and muffling was good. Oh and the pentatonic scale I knew. Since 2009 when we started playing again I learned pinch harmonics, blues scale and a few Metallica songs and AC/DC, Pantera etc... Metal and rock stuff as we both love Metal and Rock. The fact that my wife loves it also is awesome. I never get questioned when I want to buy something... ha ha... Anyway we are really serious about going all the way. We really want to gig to experience the rush one day but it's not why we are doing it. We are doing this because we love it. If we are not working we are playing guitar. She has really learned alot and is really impressing me because I thought it would take her a while to even learn anything. We want to increase our speed and play better. I'm kind of at a loss cause I'm not sure what will help in that. I know playing and practicing is good but I'm not sure playing song's and not really doing exercises is the right way to learn it. I'm open to any suggestions and challenges. I need to sign up my wife also soon on this site. Anyway I joined a week or so ago and I love the content here and plan on staying and learning as much as I can. I'm looking forward to soloing for I've wnated to for years. We have been learning Symphony of destruction Solo but are not up to speed or phrasing it correctly yet. Also were looking into Marty Friedmans stuff.. Hanger 18 etc... It's hard but so much fun. Thanks for having me.
