Hello! I'm BlackieSteele and I'm new here. I'm a Female Guitar Player, Intermediate Level. When I tried to join today I found out that I had already done so in the past! (It must have been a long time ago as I have no memory of it!) So I'm glad to be here now. Just wanted to say thanks for letting me in and that I'm looking forward to continuing my learning! ~BlackieSteele

Here's me in the middle of my "Two Tickets To Paradise" solo last year at a homeless Veterans of America benefit in the woods.

Hi,
will post some pics of my guitars. My problem always was my dad was a cool blues player. he went to sea at age 14 in 1934 in Wales ( yes that was school leaving age back then for working class kids). His first trip was from Newport (Wales) taking cargo to Savannah Georgia. There was no return cargo so the ships company got a 6 month contract hauling goods (no idea what type ) up to Baton Rouge. The ship took on "black American" labour simply because the crew could get their own work done for little outlay and have an easy time. My dad being a young starter was not able to afford the luxury.
However he had the real luxury of working with Black Americans who spent their free time paying guitar, banjos, accordians, mouth organs etc. My dad could play accordian but got to learn basic guitar, he had verses and notes written on the backs of cigarette packs.
As I grew up I remember my father playing upstairs as my mother was no fan of the "Thump" Thump of his foot keeping time.
My dad never passed to me a single cord or anything. Years later just before he died he started to tell me how he had been taught and some of the great little lyrics he kept in his head and still had some on the cig packets " I got a girl shes so tall sleeps in the kitchen with her feet in the hall" etc. all back to that one year in 1934.
i was working overseas when my dad died and on my return everything was gone even his guitar. I made it a goal to learn the guitar. I am part way there but find studying a tad difficult i just end up going back over the things i like to play.. that is why I have joined Guitar tricks to give me an incentive to learn. I have a Standard American Strat, A handmade in Germany Hofner hollow body electric. An Acoustic ""Seagull" 25th aniversary. A fender Electro Acoustic and an old yamaha acoustic.
love Blues. Love the earl 1960ies British bands that sort out and played earlier American blues stuff and made it popular. Saw John Lee Hooker on his first visit to UK in 1963/4 spoke with him at the Brsitol corn exchange, only a handfull of people there and they were waiting to see the brand new group Manfred Mann (John Paul Jones singing) John lee was pissed off with the noise they were making setting up while he was playing. Afterwards while talking with him I mentioned my dads story and he held his guitar out and said play me something I just froze. that year i saw Eric Clapton in Newport in his early performance for the yardbirds ( Only 9 people in the audience, thats another story) Any way you do not want an old guy babbling on. Just saying Hi, and hope i can improve and maybee show some stuff. took a three year memebership , so i have to stick at it lol

Very cool story Ray :) If you can learn here on GT just half of the ammount of passion for music that you seem to have, in 3 years you'l be playing the blues like those old missippi fellaws. Good luck in your learning and remember to always have fun.

Thank you. There's not much yet but I got more stuff to add.
I just need to stop being lazy about it :P
I prefer taking my free time to play music then working on my website.
There's also an English version by the way :)
Hopefully I'll get around to add more before the end of the year lol.
