Hi mate, i am Tom from North Shields UK, was in Edinburgh, Scotland in December and spent a full afternoon , night and into the wee hours of the morning in a tiny pub called the Royal Oak. Giggers were just coming in off the street and doing there stuff all night long. The sounds from the guitars were bloody fantastic!

I was hooked mate, really, always liked the guitar but never been really inspired to do anythiny about it untill then.

Bought myself a guitar and joined this site, got two weeks free and became a full member right after.

Not been at it for even a month yet but learning from Lisa McCormick and i am really lapping it up mate, knocking out melodies on simple chords and making good progress towards the real stuff very soon i hope!

Oh by the way i am nearly 60 mate, do wish i had found this passion earlier, but hey, now is good enough for me, bring it on...
