Apr 24 2007, 05:15 AM	GMC:er Posts: 4 Joined: 24-April 07	I found Master Class last night and I was intrigued by the simple teaching method you demonstrated in a youtube video on tapping. So I decided to check it out, and then signed up. Here's my story. I am 53. I started playing when I was about 8. I played in garage bands until I turned 18 and unfortunately it just about ended there. Over the years I would pick up the guitar for a while get frustrated and put it away for years then pick it back up and start the whole cycle over again. I am still in love with the guitar. I brings back so many great memories and the fun time my buddies and I had playing for parties and the school dances. This time it seems different. I am blown away by artists like Joe Satriani, David Gilmore, and too many more to mention and I say why not. I still have a few (and I mean a few) licks I can hammer out. But I want to push it and learn more. I need help! I've been working the scales and it's helping to limber up. I never used the alternating picking method. It takes some getting used to. But I like a challenge. Thank you so much. P.S. I don't think you're ever too old to learn. I got my helicopter license when I turned 50. My instructor was from Sweden, seriously.

Nice to see you have such a broad range of taste in guitarists....and the great thing about GMC is that you can study all of their techniques. Imagine if Gilmour had the chance to learn speedpicking, tapping, and sweeps from Satriani..... You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
