Hi, I'm martin form Derby, England, whilst I've been messing around with guitar for a few years, thought it was about time to learn properly rather than just badly strumming a coupla chords.

I have been playing Flute for 49 years since I was 11 - yeah yeah I'm now 60 years old. I have also just taken up Cello and am learning on my nice new Electric Cello:D

For a guitar i'm buying a new one next week, a Line 6 JTV-89F Modelling guitar, which will give the the chance to play electric, accoustic guitars and even banjo and sitar in one.:)

Glad to be on board.

regards,
Martin

Welcome Martin,

It certainly seems as though you will be musically busy for a while, which is a good thing. Guitar Tricks is a great resource, I wish it was available when I was starting out. Have fun!

Yours,

TAT

Welcome Martin; We're not old yet,if we can still strum,pick or make an attempt to make music. We are the music people as you will see as you go through GT. It's a great site an offers so much for the new guitar player. I go for Lisa McCormmick she is so precise an meticulous in her teachings. You will love her. I'm 65 an don't feel old, I feel music, it keeps me young. Keeps me young an playing old tunes. You will love this site, keep playing till our fingers won't work anymore. Best to you lindap
