Greetings to all from Finland.
I have been around for couple of weeks and decided to say hello also, and congratulate about great GMC site. Im sure I can learn a lot from here!
In my youth, I was playing in couple of bands as a rhythm guitarist. We always had another lead guitar, so I did't learn soloing too much. Well, that was my choice and mistake. Now there is a lot to learn about the theory, scales, improving technique in all areas, huh... But now I feel like I really like to learn and practice. Only problem is the available time after work and family things...
Basically I hadn't been playing guitar for almost 20 years, but now we started again with my old band mate to play some covers in the garage (deja vu). Hopefully find some bass player and singer also later on. As I spend my teenage listening hard rock and metal from 70's and 80's, that's my favourite still. Of course there are lot of very good new bands also to listen.
So, hopefully my old fingers will still learn some new tricks
