Hello All

Hi GMC,

New member here, Dan Pratt. Hail from Midlothian, Texas. Have seen a lot in
years and places hence the moniker. While not a complete Luddite, I will have
to get used to this forum stuff. Hopefully, this comes thru OK.

Found GMC quite by accident and was impressed with the quantity and quality
of the information. You should all be commended for your good work. This
however, does suggest a problem as the amount of info is somewhat
overwhelming to new members such as myself. I think I will post on the GMC
Practice forum for suggestions on a lesson plan.

A bit about me. Been playing a long time but mostly to amuse myself. Was even
in a band back in the heyday of garage bands until Uncle Sugar strongly
suggested another line of work. Have a 1980 BC Rich Eagle and a 1974 Gibson
Les Paul (present to myself after enlistment). Use a Crate Blue Voodoo with
cab and a 60's Fender Showman blackface thru a Fender cab. Use several pedals
and have a Korg guitar microprocessor. Also, just for kicks have a 5-string
banjo that I play Scruggs style altho still a beginner.

Musical taste is rather eclectic. Like blues, rock, fusion, jazz, some metal
(Bolen, Timmons, Vai, Satrioni, Buchanan) and a host of others, and on the banjo end,
Fleck and Trischka.

Hopefully, I can with your help, get to some new plateaus in my playing.
Looking forward to working with some of you.

Regards
