Hi, My name is Christina from Dallas, Tx (US), I've played around with the guitar since 2005 but I'm just starting to get serious about it now. I hang out with a lot of guys from different bands and I've been asked to play in metal bands that think it would be crazy to have a female shredder, sadly though I'm not at a stage level yet and it is my personal mission to get there for myself and for the social aspect of it as well. My favorite genres are thrash, shred, speed and black metal. I have a few favorite instructors already, I really enjoy the layout of this forum and can't wait to progress through here as well as with my additional studying. I'm ALWAYS on the computer so feel free to talk to me, if your on here than we already have something in common .

O yeah and the name Phazero is something I've been called for years. I originally picked it up when I used to write graffiti. Phase was due to my characteristic of constantly changing and evolving into something better. Zero is infinite and nothing. So Phazero means I'm always evolving and always where I need to be, living in the present and going to the future.So yeah blah blah blah theoretical crap anyways I included a pic of my Ibanez RG370DX, Rigor Mortis and I, when we first met in 2005. Since than we've added a new addition, a Jackson named Deviant and we're expecting a ESP or Schecter some time later this year .I name all of my important items (friends) such as my guitar because there's a sort of bond that happens when you spend hours on end with something and you really get used to it,it becomes a part of you, an extension of your body to create art...sorry more theoretical mess hehe thanks for reading

Welcome to GMC!

Guitars should have girl names! But you're a girl so I guess it's OK

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome, it's good to see such an active community! Oh, and I know it's rare but my guitars happen to be guys, maybe the schecter will be a chick. If you're bored you can sit and wonder how you tell if a guitar is a guy or a girl. Mine are too laid back to be girls hehe

Hello Christina, welcome to GMC. great intro \m/

Funny that you say that. I have 3 guitars and they are all "guys". I never thought of them as girls. haha. I talk to my guitars like they are people. I'll tell them my plans, or say to them, "Well, I'm not taking you to my Granny's house this time - I want to spend more time with everybody. But you understand, right? We'll rock when I get back...it's just a few days." (that really happened, btw) It's crazy. Although, I haven't given them names for some reason.

Here's something else funny...I'll be doing my homework and feel the urge to play guitar. I'll look over and see those guitars on their stands. I'll say, "Don't look at me like that. I'm busy." I'll even glare at them. Haha! I must be imaginative.. or crazy. I like computers and music...but I've never hit my guitars like I have my laptop.

Welcome to you and your friends (guitars and folks as well) Great to have you here! You could not be in a better place to learn guitar. I teach a live lesson in the video chat room every Saturday @ 4pm E.S.T (United States Time) and I've love to have you there. We are learning alternate picking / speed picking currently and I look forward to working with you.

Practice!
Todd
