I played guitar a long long time ago when I was about 12-13, then had to sell it when I got in trouble (haha!) and after that I switched to keyboards, computers, and singing.
I've been doing electronic music for over 20 years and although I kept thinking "hey I should get another guitar" it's taken me this long to actually go and do it. I bought a Martin acoustic guitar last week and I'm TOTALLY digging it. A bunch of songs I've written over the years have been made for guitar but the bands always played those parts. Now I can finally learn to play for myself, which is awesome.
I found this site earlier tonight and checked out some of the free lessons and already I've learned a few things about finger picking, blues progressions, etc. I was about to buy a book I found online that got great reviews but I think I'll sign up for this site before I do that. From what I can tell so far it's right up my alley as far as how I like to learn. My fingers hurt but I'm ready for more, heh.
Anyway I saw the "Introduce Yourself" section so I figured I'd say hello. :)
