I started playing guitar way back in the 60's - alright it was near the end of the 60's but still that era! I played in a few bands when I was in my teens and I got quite good. Then I went to University, got a job, got a wife etc. I didn't really play for the last 20 years. Now I've bumped into an old friend from my teens and we have a small guitar band. I'm loving it. I'm not really into shredding but more into blues and melody. I wish sites like this had been around in my day. Good to meet you all.

Don't worry we're not all shredders on this site, although I am finding that learning shred techniques is improving my overall playing so its well worth looking at that stuff even if you don't want to play like that - I'm pretty much where you are at - melodic blues, kind of Gilmour/Gary Moor stuff is my sweet spot - so enjoy the site!

I was 8 and guitar was all I could think about. I love the line from a Pink Floyd song "you bought a guitar to punish your mom". In the begining I'm sure that was the case. I can still hit a few and the scales have really helped to limber me up. But I'll keep plugging away and with patience, persistence and practice I'm determined to impress myself someday.

Just a tip for getting the most out of GMC....check out EVERY genre of lesson, not just the ones you consider to be in your style. Like Andrew was saying...everything you learn will improve your playing in some way. A blues player that can shred has way more tools available than a blues player that just plays the blues (nothing wrong with that though.)

I'm going to keep workin it, maybe by the time I am fifty I'll be closer. This site is amazing though. Much better than other things I've tried. There is hope.
