Hello all!

My name is Gerald and I've been lurking for a bit on this forum and decided to become a member. The information on here is great and well worth the 20 bucks.

About me, I'm 28 and I work as a PC Tech. I use to play the guitar regular when I was 14-17, but stopped playing for the better part of 10 years. Recently a work friend had a 58 Gibson recreation that I picked up and him and some other friends after hearing me pick a little bit encouraged me to play. So after a couple months of kicking around the idea I've decided to pick up the guitar again.

My roommate plays keyboards and we both like a lot of electronic music. Some of my favorite groups are Crystal Method and The Chemical Bros. My taste in music however is pretty broad, and I enjoy a lot of metal, especially older Metallica, MegaDeath, Ozzy w/ Randy Rhoads, (one of my fav. guitarists). I also enjoy a lot of blues, like Stevie Ray Vaughn, Eric Clapton, and Jimi Hendrix.

Music wise I'd like to use this forum to help further my music theory so I can more effectively play music with my roommate. In addition I'd like to learn more about soloing with a metal feel as I always seems to default to a more blues sound. Lastly, learning some metal riffs and chord progressions other than the few that I know. smile.gif

I'm hoping that this website, community, forum will replace face to face lessons. I don't really have the time to commit to a set time for lessons due to other commitments and find something like GMC more my pace.

I hope to talk with fellow GMC members on the forum and learn how to shred! cool.gif

- Gerald

Thanks all for the love! Andrew - I've been reading your theory lessons for the past week or so and they are very helpful! I print them out and go over them with my roommate and use them while practicing.

As for guitars I use an Ibanez RG 470DX. I bought it about 10 years ago right before I stopped playing. I also have a squire strat which was my first electric guitar.

Andrew - why thank you! You're a gentleman and a scholar!

Seriously though the information I have recieved so far has been very helpful and inspirational. One of the reaons I stopped playing was because I hit a brick wall and didn't have the information available to learn new material for the guitar.
