Hello!
This sight keeps coming up while I continue my never ending Google search for knowledge so I figure I would take a closer lookJust a bit about myself for any who like looking at this section and of course for those MUST! lol
I was disabled almost four years ago at the ripe old age of 35 and was so mad, depressed, and sad that I pretty much lost hope. Then I picked up an acoustic guitar that sat in my closet for 20yrs, a guitar I played for about 6 months because I thought it would look cool on the beach. A friend talked me in to hanging out at the Lodge on jam night to learn a few chords and it was on! Music quite literally saved me from myself and it turns out I'm pretty good at it and a very fast learner. I primarily play guitar but also like keyboard and drums. As a hobby I repair and or mod effects pedals and guitars because I hate most affordable stock tone boxes and I got nuthin but time.
There, I introduced myself properly... now let me lurk in peace!

Welcome Chris, great to have you here.
