GMC Forum _ PRACTICE ROOM _ Introducing Myself Terry
Posted by: Terry Ads Sep 26 2012, 10:14 AM
Hi,
My name is Terry Adshead and I recently joined GMC.
I started playing classical guitar when I was 15 (37 years ago!!) but gave up after 2 years. Since then I only picked up the guitar once a year at Christmas to play "Silent Night" in classical style!
My Girlfriend bought me guitar lessons for my Birthday 7 months ago and though I did not get anywhere with my teacher, I have really got back into playing.
I really want to learn Blues (Rythym and Lead). I have been teaching myself with the aid of various You Tube Lessons up until now.
I have a Fender Telecaster (Squier copy) and Fender Mustang 1 Amp.
I would like to get to the level where I could hold my own on a Jam night somewhere without embarrasing myself!
Looking forward to learning more with GMC. (Have already in one week!)
Best Wishes
Terry (Terry Ads)

Welcome to the community, Terry. It's great to hear you're getting back into it with purpose.
Blues you say ?? Well, we all like to flirt with the blues around here.. 2 definite blues masters in my opinion would be these guys...

Hello Terry.
Nice to see another 'seasoned' blues fan around here. I've got a Mustang I as well. Have you found any good patches for it yet?
