Hello! My name is Rob. I'm 45yrs old and live in Denver, Colorado. I played guitar back in high school but learned everything from either a friend or tab books. I grew up in the 80's hair band era and loved listening to Dokken, Van Halen, Bon Jovi, Ratt, Poison, White Snake, Skid Row, etc. I focused on learning these classic songs, but never understood why I was playing the notes. I didn't understand chord structure, why certain notes can be played together but not others, how to play within a certain key, modes, etc. I stopped playing the guitar after high school. Well..... fast forward 20 + years and I got the desire to actually LEARN to play the guitar. This time around I'm focusing on learning more about the music structure rather than simply being able to play a Bon Jovi song. I want to know why the notes being played fit together...I want to understand why certain chord progressions work while others don't. I want to eventually begin writing my own music and not just playing other people's songs. I've been playing now for a little over a year and love learning what I should have learned 20 years ago.
I found GMC while scouring the internet and thought I'd give it a try.....so I'm here.....saying hello to everyone. What I've seen so far has gotten me super excited about the guitar. I keep bookmarking different lessons that I want to work on....My list keeps growing and growing every time I visit the site.
I can't wait to finish my first lesson and post a video. Hope to hear from the rest of the GMC community....I love talking about music and meeting fellow musicians.....so don't hesitate to stop by and say "hello".
Thanks again GMC for everything!!
