Hello Mark and welcome to GMC !
I really enjoyed reading your introduction.. Steinberger, BC, Jackson and Kramer - wow, you really have got all the essential axes of the 80's !! Next you'll tell me you got a hot rodded Marshall JCM800 and a Lamborghini Countach ! Well done for getting back into the guitar and also for investing in yourself and looking for online guitar lessons to further your playing. You've clearly made good use of the search button and found a few lessons already. There's loads of stuff here and it can boggle the mind at first but it's always good to pick a few things you want to focus on and go from there. One of the things I've got running is Guitar Bushido, which is an ongoing set of weekly Tasks. We've done quite a few but you can view the whole list here as well as get bit of an introduction to what it's all about https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/wiki/inde...p/Bushido_Tasks You can keep up to date and find the latest Bushido Tasks on my personal board here https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...p?showforum=215 Good to meet you ! |

Thanks Ben, good meeting you as well...... BTW no Lamborghini.... just the DeLorean. Actually I play all of those guitars too, I cycle through them quite a bit depending on what I'm playing. I never said I play them well, but I do play them. I do realize that I need to focus on one thing at a time, I guess that's my problem (or at least one of them) is knowing what that one thing should be. I will definitely check out the Bushido. I saw that and thought it was some sort of hand to hand combat with my guitar and I was afraid it would actually kick my ...., so I wasn't sure about it but since you've explained then I will take a look for sure. I think since I've never had any formal guitar training that I should maybe start as a beginner to see what I've missed, but I'm getting too old for that and may end up being 80 years old by the time I got through it all so I will try to hop on board somewhere in the middle. I have some recordings out on sound cloud that are in no way intended to be full complete anything other than recordings that I'd really just like honest feedback on to help me figure out where I'm at and what I need to do, they are just recordings of ideas that I would jam to so I could go back later and see if they were still things that I liked and how well or not well I played them. Actually before I could finish this note to you, Sinisa had listened to them as I had sent him a note earlier as well. He basically said they sucked, but that he thought I could be whipped into shape. Just kidding, he had some good ideas of where I'm at currently with my playing so I appreciated him taking a look. If at any time you have a moment to check them out as well that would be great. I completely trust his judgement, I'm only looking to get different opinions as I would like a lot of diversity and opinions. If you do get a chance, feel free to be honest. I don't offend easy. Funny thing is, Sinisa could tell there was a lot of 80's stuck in there... lol. mroberts70 on sound cloud. Thanks again Ben, looking forward to learning more.

Welcome Mark! I can relate to much of your story. I've loved GMC since the start, and they are certainly whipping me into the best shape I've ever been in. It can be overwhelming at first, but stay active, have fun, and make sure to keep sending in takes/videos of your playing to the forums or instructors for feedback.
