Hello all... just wanted to introduce myself to the GMC community.
As the topic title says, I am a long-time dabbler in guitar, but have never really been able to make myself buckle down and take things to the next level. I know the basic chords and a few power chords but that's about it. I'm middle aged and have been "playing" at playing guitar since my college days. I am a die-hard metal head, and I like a pretty wide range of music from Prog Metal to Death / Black Metal to Viking Metal!
Anyway, my hope is that being part of a community of fellow guitar players will give me the kick in the @$$ I need to get a bit more serious about learning and practicing and growing my skill set as a guitarist.
My main problem is that I don't really know where to start - there is just such a vast amount of information out there. Do you start with chords, scales, what!?
Anyway, thanks and hope to chat with some of you soon.
Cheers!
