So.. I've been in GMC for.. Just a little less than year, I joined at 14th April 2007. Ever since, I have been here nearly every day.

So now I wanted to thank All the instructors, THANK YOU!
I'm Amazed how much better I am compared to myself 1 year ago.

AND

As I somehow have missed the whole community thingy, I feel like I should finally introduce myself:

Hey, I'm Teemu, from Finland

I got my first guitar, Squier Strato standard, as a birthday present when i turned 10 years. For about 3 years I didn't really play at all, then, summer break came and I finally got motivated to really start playing.. guess what, the motivation was... Girls!
(I don't need any motivations anymore, other than guitar playing itself. But if I ever feel like stopping, I know where to seek for reasons to continue )

I found this site when I saw Kris's tapping thingy at Ultimate-Guitar. I checked one.. two lessons... and BOOM I saw "Metalhead Solo Lesson" thanks Walliman, for that life changing lesson
and guess what (again).... I joined.

Now when I think about all the money I've spent for the membership... There is no way I could have spent it better

Nowadays I play with my John Petrucci Signature Series thingy.. OLP. with pickups changed to two dimarzios, Air norton at the neck and X2N at the bridge. Axtech combo thingy as an amplifier, don't know more specifications.
and Digitech RP350 multieffect.

I hope I see you at the forums (I'm also interested in seeing myself there )
