Hey everybody. I just joined GT about a week ago. I'm living in Oregon and made the decision about a month ago to get serious about learning to play guitar. After buying a "garage sale" acoustic I learned a few cords and strumming patterns. Then I bought an electric, a practice amp and Mel Bay's "You Can Teach Yourself Blues Guitar."

To make a long story short, I was in search of a better way to learn and some other aspiring guitarists to interact with. After checking out several sites and trying lots of free lessons I ended up here on GT. I look forward to getting to know you all and sharing my musical journey.

Peace
