Hello everyone (for the 2nd time around). I joined a couple years ago and was off to a good start practicing everyday, but that only lasted a month or two before I stopped playing altogether. Before that I had a guitar in my teen years and only picked it up every now and then, so I really didn't get anywhere. I feel much more commited now than I did when I was younger and although it has only been 3 weeks since I have started, I feel confident that I will stick with it this time. I am currently practicing Todds alternate picking lesson series (just started lesson 2), using warming up with Lian and warming up with Marcus, finger independence 1 with Danilo, and beginners corner with Bear. Besides music, my favorite hobbies are snowboarding and working/racing cars. I am currently going back to school to get a degree in accounting and a minor in economics.
