Hi Rachel!

Welcome. I'm new here myself. I know it says I joined a few years back but I actually subscribed last week. I also have a background in other instruments but wanted to learn guitar. I could strum a little and know a handful of chords but I want to be so much more than that. I started from the very beginning on here. Even though I already knew alot of the stuff already I still did pick up some valuable things. I'm loving this site. It makes learning easy and fun. Great choice by the way on your Epiphone. It sounds and looks really good. Bet you're excited! Best of luck to you on your learning and hope you enjoy the site as much as I do. :)
