    Default Hey Guys

    Hello from Scotland!!!

    I came here through Robert's site (Its great! He's really inspired my playing ) and it seemed alot more friendly than the other guitar forum i'm a member of, so i decided to join

    Ive been playing guitar seriously for 2 years and would describe myself as "intermediate". I have an ibanez grg170dx (basically a cheaper version of an rg), A vox ad30 (Robert sold me on that one...), a yamaha fg120 acoustic and a crappy zoom multieffect pedal which I never use. My musical influences include Eric Johnson, Joe satriani, Slash, stevie ray vaughan, Jimmi Hendrix, Joe Bonnammassa (?), Paul Gilbert ect....
    I am saving for a fender stratocaster, so expect alot of threads about that in the not to distant future....

    I am also a (very bad!) violinist. I am considering taking up running... (I ran 1500 metres in 8mins 3 secs...Is that good/bad?) I also have incredible apostrophe placing skills. And yes.... I do like Sesamea Street

    Well.....Thats about me...

    Oh yeah....Can someone please explain the whole GAS attack thing...Thanks

    Bye
    £9 in the USA Strat fund...Ill get there

    Cookie Monster,

    Welcome to the forum. As you can see, we like to have fun. Tone was kind enough to post a video to commemorate you joining the gang. You are probably the only one or at least a limited number of fretters here that has a video and a puppet that represents your name.

    Enjoy yourself and post often.
