+1 to everything that Sunvalley said.

And I also want to add that there is only one amph capable of a screaming solo lead sound a´la Steely Dan.

+1. We used to have it every Christmas eve. Blech.

We have gumbo every Christmas eve. (don't spill any on yo forehead, 'cause yo tongue will beat you to death tryin' to get at it!)
I can't imagine a world without Cajun food!

I have learned alot hear also,I wont retype all,I'll add alittle,weel I have learned practice is key(good practice)as well as time not playing(it seems to spark a deeper desire)that your sound is unlike any others,go with it take what you like from other's add it make it your sound.To ease up on your expectations(you'll actually move along faster if you do)and HAVE FUN PLAYING!!!!!!

+1 to SVL

I've also learned that it is possible to teach guitar, play in 2 bands, record internet videos, run marathons, manage a web forum, and be a dad and husband at the same time.

...and I've learned that posts about John Mayer are guaranteed to divide opinion (but in a healthy and respectful way!)

That's interesting and very true, Sumi.

Having thought about this some more I think TheFret has given me a lot over the past few years. The friendly atmosphere in this place encouraged me to start sharing my playing through videos and music files which I had never done before. It also gave me the confidence to go out and try out for bands and break out of the bedroom and into the clubs. I spent a year gigging regularly and learning about live sound, always knowing that any answers to my questions were just a post away on TF.

Thanks to all at theFret for making my guitar journey more fulfilling than I ever expected over the past few years. Slainte!
