Hi from snowy NC!

I don't get to say the "snowy" part very often so I just had to use it. My name is Daniel and I just recently found this site and started playing again. I started with the guitar in the 7th grade (I'm 27 now), and played pretty much every day until 1999 or so. Played with some people, played some shows in town, had a blast but never really "got it" I guess. I was a wicked good mimick, not a real musician is the way I'd like to put it. Anyhow, I stopped cold right around 2000 for whatever reason, and just recently started to want to play again.

This time, I am starting from scratch all over again...trying to learn proper technique, and be precise rather than fast and sloppy as I was before. I actually bought a metronome, which is something I had never considered doing in the past! Luckily for me, I still have all my gear from when I was playing a lot, which consists of an original tweed covered Fender Blues DeVille (4x10) which desperately needs new tubes, an ashe body American Deluxe Strat, a cheap Ibanez acoustic, and my little Marshall practice amp.

Anyhow, I just wanted to introduce myself and say hello. I spent the better part of yesterday browsing the forums, and everyone seems very cool and willing to help each other which is pretty awesome! Cheers!
