Hi, my name is Craig Dahlinger and I recently made the jump to guitar tricks and I am loving every minute of it. I started guitar in August as part of my turning 40 bucket list item. So far the journey has been frustrating and rewarding at the same time, but I pick up the guitar every day and I am getting better every day!! But most of all, I am having fun!

My wife bought me an Epiphone Les Paul Studio Deluxe Goldtop for my birthday in August, and a few weeks ago I traded in my first guitar for an Iabanez RG250. It is nice to have two different distinct sounds. I scored a Digitech 500 for FREE!! And I got a Fender 212R which sounds totally awesome!
