[Ricky9]

Hello everyone am honored of been part of this great community. A little about myself, My name is Ricardo, born and raise in Puerto Rico. Started playing guitar back in 1993 while in high school and fell in love with it the moment i put the guitar in my lap. I became obsessed with it so started buying books and videos and practicing a lot, My first experience as a musician was at my local church where i had the chance to really learn from great group guitar players from there. Later join my first band from another church where i had the opportunity to be lead guitar and start to introduce myself to scales and melodies.A few years later i join the military, So now i did not have the time to practice as much as i liked. While station in Italy i met some military guys that had a heavy metal band, they offered me to play with then so i did. While in the band i had an accident that almost cost me my right hand index finger, in the mist of the event i still manage to keep playing with the band, then the guys started to make fun of me and started to call me " Ricky nine fingers". So there you have it the origin of my nickname "Ricky9". Back in 2010 i finally retire from the military so now am trying to pick up where i left off, in the view that i have more time now to practice. I stumble across this website from watching a video on Youtube from all you guys playing a collaboration, on that moment i was astonish with the brutal talent you guys posses. I now i will learn a lot from you guys here and hope to be able to become part of this great family. Thanks for the wonderful opportunity to be here and God bless you all.
