Hi, my name is Karen; I live in Az, and I am brand new to guitar. My husband just bought me a Gibson SGJ guitar, and a Vox vt20 plus amp as an early Christmas present, and I love my new setup! I also got a guitar DVD tutorial by Mark John Sternal, it's a good DVD, but it is not structured as well as it could be, and it doesn't go into enough detail. I was thinking about traditional guitar lessons, but for now, I really need something that will allow me to go at my own pace and schedule, so I thought I would give GuitarTricks a try. Anyway, I'm glad to be here and happy to be on this new journey!
