Hello everyone,
I'm a 35-year-old beginning guitarist hailing from a suburb outside Hartford, CT, USA. I started getting into music in my late 20's, and I played piano and taiko for a little bit before buying my first guitar, a Yamaha FG700S acoustic. Believe it or not, I almost bought a djembe instead of a guitar -- it was a toss-up between the two, until I went to a superbowl party and picked up one of the host's acoustic guitars. I sat down on his stairs and noodled with it (with what little I knew), and before I knew it six women were hanging out with me. I don't think that would've happened with a hand drum :) True story, but seriously, though, I'd love to learn to play and sing well enough to entertain both me and others.
Well, that's my introduction. I want to say a big HELLO to everyone out there, and I also want to say that this website is amazing and I've learned a lot from it so far. Thank you to all that contribute to it, and I hope to someday give a little back!
Hi and welcome.

Ahhh so
It's the guitar that attracts them . . . you mean I don't have to bother to learn to play the thing?
Oh well, I've been at it a year now, I might as well plod along.
Welcome to GN and that was a nice introduction. Glad to meet you.

It's the rock that gives the stream its music . . . and the stream that gives the rock its roll.
There are a few GNers near you - go check out Wes at his next gig. I think the attraction of the guitar by the ladies was part of his plan as well. 8)
Some of us get smart and just buy our own guitar. :mrgreen:
Welcome Chris!
All my life I wanted to be somebody. Now I see I should have been more specific.
I'm saving that picture/cartoon.
Excellent post UCG. And with wiener characters too. :shock:
You are just too good to be true . . . .
:note2: "and everyone is so in love with you." :note1:

Welcome .... 35, seems to be a popular age to start. Why did I start so young! DOH! :lol: I was 16 and I thought that was waaaay to late to learn. Shows you what a 16 year old kid knows. Now that I'm almost 48 ...... it seems less important. :roll:
Love the cartoon UCG. My guitar never had that effect by the way, but my wife does do a great job of putting up with it. :mrgreen:
