You'll get use to the erroneous dates, particularly join dates and birthdates (seems 70% here were born on November 30 :D ). But those are gnat-like bothersome flaws of an overwhelmingly excellent website.
My history is similar to yours: played just a little in college during nearly the same timeframe as yours. Despite what my records say, for two years I majored in the 'three C's'; Coors, co-eds and campus politics. Went into the military, got serious about night school, got married, blah, blah, blah and ended up with a great career, a wonderful marriage and a 35-year break in guitar playing. ;)
It didn't take long for Guitar Tricks to bring me back to, and then past, my old playing level convincing me of two things; what a great teaching site this is and what a low level my former playing was at. :o
Again, welcome. This is one cool site!
"It takes a lot of devotion and work, or maybe I should say play, because if you love it, that's what it amounts to. I haven't found any shortcuts, and I've been looking for a long time."
