Hi everyone. My name is Mike and I love the guitar. I started playing when I was 15, stopped (for some unknown reason) for 20 yrs. & now I'm back (for about a yr.) better than ever. My 1st go around I didn't bother with music theory - I just played by ear. This time I'm learning everything.

As far as my playing, I have the dexterity and speed to play any song out there. Now what I need is knowledge.

Sounds similar to my own story. Welcome to the boards!

More amp settings then ever...
guitar scales in tab form

My newest one's an Italia Speedster, so that's the one I'm using most right now.
