Hi everyone,

Im turning 50 on the 25th, been playing Ukulele and decided I could pick up the Electric Guitar. Played Electric 5 years ago, but just Reggae Rhythm. Hubby has bought me the Fender American Performer Strat SSS for my 50th B-Day!!!

It is being delivered next week, Im SO excited.

Hope to chat with people soon and learn lots!

Be Well and Be Safe

I find it interesting that you say "It`s a good site and there`s no shortage of support and encouragement." I have been a member for a while and have a question that I ask the Instructor Anders and also in an open group and havent gotten a response yet. It is almost as though the web site is on remote control and you simply pay your fees and take the lessons but if you have a question you might as well look elsewhere on the web. If you know a trick to getting help from an instructor please share because I am thinking of looking elsewhere for my lessons.

Your profile shows the 3 posts you have made. 2 of which were in reference to string noise. You were provided responses by members as well as by Anders.


This year the diet is definitely gonna stick!

I stand corrected, I never received notification of response so I assumed ther were none. I re subscribed to the thread. I apologize for my frustration.

Good luck.

Kelly, congratulations on the upcoming birthday, the new Strat and, it would appear, a great hubby that bought you the Strat!

good luck in your learning! If you get frustrated (which you will) or confused on something, post here. It's been my experience there is "no shortage of support and encouragement". It seems everytime someone posts the response has been almost instantaneous and supportive. Very often the first responses are from fellow students.
