Hello Everyone

[Cheap_Gear]

Just a quick howdy and intro.

Am 53 young years N.E. Ohio and have been piddling around with guitar for about 10 years. Have'nt had much in the way of formal lessons .

What I know which is not a lot I have taught myself from books dvds ,etc. I am advanced past the beginner stage and would consider myself a novice.

Recently have gotten a rejuvenated interest in advancing my skills .Learning blues scales , color chords,barre chords, inversions,etc.

I play acoustic mostly but recently purchased an electric .

This looks like a really neat site with lots of info. I look forward to participating in the various forums and sharing my experiences with
others.

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome. Strum I live up along the north coast in Lake County. Perry to be exact. I have been down your way a few times . Geauga Lake a few times. Don't know if you are a Browns fan or not but I'm chompin at the bit for the regular season to get underway ! :D Again thanks all for the welcome.:AOK:

Color chords are just another name for open chords played up the neck in a chord progression ,while letting the open strings ring .The "color chords" add dimiension to the progression. Often they are power chords mixed in with triads.

Well, I work fairly close to you, I travel up to Painesville Monday through Friday and because of the drive, the town is appropriately named.

Yep, Geauga Lake is history, took all the rides out over the summer. I think the water park may still be there.
