Hi there guys.
My name is Warren, I live in JHB in Edenglen.
Got my first guitar years ago when I was a teenager (an old Aria Pro II electric) and since then have been noodling around trying to figure out what all the strings are for...
Over the past few years I hardly picked up the instrument at all, and as a result I forgot most of the songs I once new. Then, about two years ago I bought John Mayer's "Where The Light Is'" DVD and was astonished at all the great techniques he employed on both acoustic and electric instruments i.e. I realised that there was a lot more you could do than the odd strummed / arpeggiated chord and decided to get back into things.
Toward the end of last year I started playing with a great band, just doing covers for now, with me on electric and acoustic guitar (mostly rhythm) and the odd bit of vocals. ? This has helped improve my playing immensely, but I still consider myself something of a beginner really.
I really like the vibe on this forum, and I hope to contribute some stuff myself, where I can! 8)
