Hi All, I am not really new to guitar, had a couple lessons in my teen years but it was mostly classical music. Learnt a lot of intro's to songs, but never whole songs. Glad I found this site and looking forward to expanding my knowledge and understanding of this wonderfull instrument. Love Rock, Blues and Country.

Welcome!

That's great that you already have some experience! I love the lessons on here and I think you will really be inspired by all the Rock, Blues, and Country lessons on here. Personally, I love Acoustic fingerpicking and I'm working my way up to where I can practice that more. (I have just tried it out enough to know that I really, really love it!) I'm in the fundamentals courses and still learning to switch chords with some more speed and accuracy. (mostly accuracy, speed will come after that!)

You will love it here and all the folks who have great tips on improving your playing ability.

Hey Dean. Welcome. I used to live in South Africa (Boksburg) but been back in the UK now for 21 years.

You are going to love this site.

Best wishes
