Hi there everybody-

Been looking through this forum, and it looks great-very nice people aboard. Good to see.

Me: I've played guitar over a year, I practice too much, and I like to consider myself as moderately advanced. Others will disagree.

Guitars: Strat (first guitar), and now an SG.
Amps: Fender FM15, Marshall MG100HDFX/MG412 Half Stack.
Pedal: Basic Dunlop Wah

Looking forward to talking to people.

Enjoy our crew and palace.

By the way, there is no such thing as practice too much. :)

Welcome to the forum. If you've been practicing too much, consider yourself as moderately advanced, I would like to know your method of learning.:D

just strum, honestly, I couldn't tell you how I made it to where I am now. All I remember is always practicing a lot haha. It feels like a blur up until this point.

And yeah, Robert, it took awhile for me to get here all right, but it's all good now. :D

Well when ever you can, share your knowledge and tips. Technique, Theory and Playing is my favorite section on the forum, followed very closely by all the others.

Welcome!

I'm gonna have to try that practice too much thing.

The "too much practice" thing has led me to have absolutely no feeling whatsoever in my fingertips on my left hand, so it's definitely a positive.

By the way, tot, "Village Idiot" is my other alias.

This village never can have too many idiots.

Time to perform the secret International Order Of Idiots handshake.

I think I should have rephrased my original post. I don't consider playing guitar practicing. My own view of practicing is locking yourself in a room for 12 hours a time. I look at playing guitar fun and whenever I play, it's a learning experience. The instrument is just made to be :rockon: not 'practiced'.

12 hours a day will get you pretty far pretty quickly! You're lucky to have that time & wise to sieze it like that.

Yes you were, but you were too busy "fiddling with your fingerboard" when it was announced. :D

Gah I just realized what I wrote looked like sometihng completely different.

"My own view of practicing is locking yourself in a room for 12 hours a time."

I mean that's what I don't want to do...what I want to avoid completely. And I really, really don't practice 12 hours a day. That would be obsessive.



Okay enough about me. I'm boring. I'll talk to everybody in other posts :AOK:
