Hey guys,

My name is Mark and I am picking up the guitar for the first time at the age of 43.
I bought a Epiphone PR-4E accoustic/electric about 5 days ago and haven't put it down yet.
I am hooked, though my finger tips think I am utterly nuts. there is no pain right now but a very wierd numb feeling.
Anyway I just wanted to say hi!

Okay ....... hi, back at 'ya. Welcome aboard this vessel from another seabord State? Main thing is you got a new guitar and are liking it. Congrats and good luck! :D

Welcome to GN!
don't worry about the fingertips and the weird feeling, just don't over do it and soon you will develop some nice calluses

Heh - just moved from Rhode Island south of the Mason-Dixon, and missing New England! Still working on building callouses here...apparently I know enough chords for some songs, just don't know what to do with them yet. :D
