Hi there,
Names Rich (!). Been playing guitar about 10 years now but only recently starting to take it seriously. As in I'm looking at lessons online now, trying to learn some solid theory and technique bettering skills! I think I've probably picked up a lot of bad techniques as I've mainly just leant to play by ear and jamming along to backing tracks. I learnt my major, pentatonic, blues, and dorian scales thats about a far as my theory knowledge goes!
I love playing blues and classic rock, mainly play Gary Moore, Hendrix, clapton, zeppelin, srv, bb king type stuff!
I have a US Fender Telecaster and a not-so-great marshal crate practice amp, but currently looking at some good tube combos (Fender Deluxe Reverb is top of my list right now). I just ordered an Xotic BB Preamp pedal as well as I love the tone of their gain.
Gotta love new string day!
I also have a Taylor bigbaby acoustic which is great
So that's my intro in a nutshell! Signed up to ask some advice on more specific topics and this looks like a great forum

Hey Rich, welcome!
The Law of Gravity is nonsense. No such law exists. If I think I float, and you think I float, then it happens.

Welcome Rich! I am pretty new myself in years of playing. Under 10, and only about 5.5 where I really tried to learn anything. This place has been a tremendous resource for me. I hope you find it to be so too!
