Hello world

samIam

Hi all,

Well; a week after joining and I eventually get around to saying hello ☹ Has been that kind of week..

I used to play many moons ago when the earth was flat and neon socks were in fashion.
About 2 years ago I decided to pick it up again.
I have since reached the same level of incompetence I was at the last time around ( what do you know, it really is like riding a bike. You swear and fall off a lot) .

I Am now trying to break what I consider to be my two worst hack guitarist habits. :-[

Never actually playing a whole song.

And playing for myself, to myself, by myself...

My gear, had the good fortune of having Alan pick out a guitar and practice amp for me ( and more importantly set the thing up!). So I have myself a nice Cort and the amazing Rolland Micro cube ?

Nice to meet you all
Stephen.

Hi Stephen welcome!

I have since reached the same level of incompetence I was at the last time around ( what do you know, it really is like riding a bike. You swear and fall off a lot)

Exactly my style of playing, for at least 20 years now...

Welcome welcome!

Welcome!

Consider yourself fortunate that you have some prior experience. I picked up the guitar for the first time ever a week ago, and bugger me but it's hard to do even the simplest things.

I'd love to be able to boast that I fall off a lot, but in order to fall off, you first need to be able to get on! ?

Cheers!
Riaan

Lulz, that's hardcore.

Seems to be a number of hacker types on here. Wonder if that means anything?

(All I know is I can't quit my programming day job for guitar playing anytime soon!)

nah I am not a programmer, just started learning. I am a mechanical engineer by trade. But you are right though, there seem to be many IT guys on here!
