Hey everyone ?
I guess I'm just your average wannabe-hobbyist guitar player.
I got my first guitar about 4 years ago at the ripe old age of 21, played for about 4 weeks and threw it away once I realized that this was nothing like Guitar Hero. The fact that I got a near-worthless Stagg H300 (which I bought knowing absolutely nothing about guitars at the time except they look cool and chicks dig them) with horrible intonation, no capacity for staying in tune and with a tone as muddy as your average swamp probably didn't help either, especially plugged into a little Marshall MG15. In any case, I left the whole business for 3 years never picking up that accursed thing again. I could write whole stories about that thing's failures...
Then about 2 months ago I got my hands on a Yamaha Pacifica 112. Since then I've been making an effort to practice at least an hour a day and I'm improving slowly but surely, and (I think) my goals are far more realistic than they were the first time I picked up a guitar. I've since added a Hofner Shorty (No need to compensate for anything ?) to my small collection that stands literally on my desk for practicing scales on whenever I'm watching anything on my computer.
I guess I'm just here to tap into the local community and to find whatever and any knowledge I can on the topic of playing guitar.
Cheers and thanks to everyone who's already unwittingly posted stuff I found useful here on the forum!
