I'm A New Member Options

[vdcraats]

Hi There,

I decided to join GMC.

I stared playing 19 years ago when I was about 16 years old.
I played and had lessons for about 6 years. But then I stopped playing.

I got a girlfriend, moved out of the house, got a busy job and eventually got married.

Now I'm 36 And something has changed. My nephew (he is 8 years old) wanted to learn to play guitar and asked if I could teach him.

So I started teaching him, and found out what I have been missing all these years. Playing my Guitar.

My Wife decided to give me a new guitar she bought me a Ibanez RG350DXZ
Ibanez RG350DXZ

And now I'm rocking again. I Joined GMC because I wanted to learn new rifs and songs. And It gives me a lot of inspiration.

Thank you for this great site :-)

Its great to hear that you are back to playing guitar. Also, teaching someone can be really insightful and motivating.

Welcome to the forum! We are glad you could join us. What genre(s) of music do you listen to?

I listen to a wide range of music, Not one specific Genre. here are some examples :-)

Linkin Park, Metalica, Queen, Marillion, Slash, Steve vai But also Some Clasical Guitar romance de amor is one of my favorites.
And top 40 Music.

I think it's important that music evokes an emotion.
Numb from Linkin Park is for me a good example of evoking an emotion :-)

Welcome to GMC, vdcraats! You're story is kind of similar to mine. (Although, my wife didn't get me an RG 350, & I want one sooooo bad, but she & the fam are very supportive of my new habit! btw...your wife rocks!) You were smarter & joined earlier than I did (I'm 48). You will reach your goals here at GMC! Everyone is so supportive...instructors & students. Everything you need is here! Hope to see you in the chats & forum!

Hi Blister,
It's good to have a supportive family. My wife smiled when I told here you said she rocked :-) What Guitar do you play on ?

I'm glad she liked the comment.

I have an Aria LP copy that my Mom got for me from a music store she worked in back in the early 70's. Probably not a great guitar but since she got it for me it means a lot & I would never get rid of it. Kind of funny, actually. She had to order it & to me it seemed like months for it to get shipped to their store, but was probably just a few weeks. We had a terrible snow storm the night it finally arrived (we lived in Virginia at the time) & she almost got in a wreck from the bad weather. Being a typical teen, I was pretty frustrated she took so long to get home that night & she was so stressed by the time she got home. We laugh about it now, of course.

From Todd's video chats, he has me pretty hungry for an RG. But I think a Strat would be nice, too.
