Yo....

So, I'm new here, just signed up for Guitar Tricks today. I'm just wanting to introduce myself and tell about good ol' me. I live in Chesnee, SC which is in the upstate/foothills area near NC. I'm more of a singer and songwriter than a guitar player, but I've played for years and I also learned bass about 2 years ago. I am a sold out Christian who tries to do nothing but pursue Christ every day, even when I fail miserably sometimes. I lead worship for Frontline Church and also preach/teach. I am in pursuit of my ordination as a minister in the Wesleyan Church. I've been married 8 years, no kids yet. I like to tinker with pawn shop guitars and re-paint them. I'm an avid MMA and pro wrestling fan. I used to wrestle for an indy wrestling company. I am a Loss Prevention Agent with Old Navy. I call it the fashion police. I love to watch The Office. Get the DVD sets, they rock. I hope to elevate my skill level on here. Not sure how the whole Online learning will be versus an instructor, but $85.00 a month at my local store is not feasable right now. I am optimistic, and hope all will go well. Also, I love to meet new folks on these forums, so holler at me...

Welcome to GT!

Yeah, if you have already got ahold of guitar playing GT can definatly teach you the finer points. Been around these parts long enough to know. :p

Well...Welcome aboard.


Loss Prevention Agent. Store Detective.... one of the guys who sneaks around the store pretending he's a customer but any idiot can tell he's a store detective because of the way he acts.

How to spot a store detective.... wait until closing time and watch the back room. Every one of them rushes there after work.
Or it's the guy who pretends he just happens to be in the same place you are all the time.

How to have fun with store detectives.... pretend to put stuff in your pocket and then walk really fast through the store. Then give him crap when he stops you. Or wait until he's not waiting for it and stand right behind him breathing on his neck.

Sorry..... I love screwing around with store detectives. It's fun making em run around in circles.

Welcome Psalmcaster,
No matter what your skill level you can learn a lot on this site. There are many talented individuals on GT.
I also share your feelings for "the office", MMA and The Lord. Merry Christmas and God Bless.
Doug

My apologies btw for my previous post: No offence meant... just took my rant a little too far cause of a major bad mood.
Next time I'll just stick to hitting my computer or something. :)

Now was that so hard, Kevin?

Nope. I sent ya a private email too so I don't know whether ya got it or not.
Like I said, major apologies if I offended you. It's been a cruddy week & I made the mistake of taking it out on other people.
So hopefully all's forgiven. Hugs and kisses and all that stuff :)

Welcome aboard. I'm a big MMA fan too - did a lot of submission wrestling in Japan along with some traditional styles. Looking forward to UFC78 on Dec 30th!
