Hi everyone...

I just wanted to introduce myself, as I am sure, whilst learning guitar, I will be meeding advise from members and other tutors over the coming weeks, months and years!.

Learning the guitar was something I have always wanted to do, but previously, never had the time or the spare cash. My parents couldn't afford for me to take lessons in school and so I always thought "its too late now" (as I am sure most people do) and fell into making excuses or a negative midset.

Its only been the last six months since I have been researching and decided to change my mindset....why not?...whats too old?....I can make time!....I can save the money!

Im 36 years old, I am going to make time to learn, I have saved up cash and purchased my first equipment and I have registered on GuitarTricks for 12 months.

I genuinely feel like this is something I should have done years ago.

I was brought up on Queen, Elvis, The Stones, Beatles and Cash by my parents,

During the 90's and my highschool years it was Britpop, Oasis, Blur, Stone Roses.

And so I started to save and research.

Having read articles upon articles and seen review after review, I decided to go for a Epiphone Les Paul LP100 and a cool little Marshall practice amp. Both I hope will see me in good stead for at least a few years.

So thats me, starting the first steps on what will be a life long journey.

I have started as an absolute beginner and have never played a note in my life.

What I lack in skills, however, I make up in with enthusiasm and pure desire to learn.

Hopefully, you will see me on here and be kind enough to help me (I am pretty sure I will need at some point!).

Thanks

Simon
