Hello everyone, my name is Mark. I have been an off and on player for over 30 years. I would consider myself an intermediate player. I have taken things much more serious now and am trying to become the player I had always dreamed of. I practice anywhere from 15-30 hours a week. I recently started jamming with a drummer, we are still seeking a bassist and singer. I struggle to want to study theory and mostly run exercises which certainly won't get me to my goals. I am hoping to fill the theory gap in through this system.

Hi Mark,


jamming with others is so much fun and helps develop skills. 15 to 30 hours a week is a serious commitment, best of luck. 


This year the diet is definitely gonna stick!

Mxracer65,


"...to become the player I had always dreamed of." 


This is so awesome and inspiring! 


I might change the word 'trying' to 'working on'


"Working on becoming the player I have always dreamed of" - you are on the path!!!
