the first 5 years were strictly acoustic and rythm based. Iv'e been playing the electric for that past 4, and have still been rythm based, because that's just what I like playing. when jamming with others I've always been the guy who makes the lead player sound good (if that makes sence), and just here recently I've been messing around with recording and have regreted not ever haveing lessons or anybody to help me learn the things I should have started with. Don't get me wrong, I'm not dissatisfied with my playing at all, I just know that I could be better if I just had a little help getting past this slump I've been in. I appreciate all ya'lls help. Thanks
