Welcome aboard, Ted! This is a great place to learn and get acquainted with fellow pickers. Glad to meet you. Looks like you've got some good gear to get you going!
Best wishes,

Another new guy here, found my way from Robert's Dolphinstreet site. I have re-entered playing after 25 years or so, took lessons as a kid for 7 years and stupidly stopped. A month or so ago I came back, trying to pick up. My lovely wife of 14 years surprised me with lessons for our anniversary to push me off the fence. It's great to be so distracted with music, guitars, and forums like this.
I have an unbranded accoustic (1977), ElDegas LP type (1980 or so), AriaProII e335 type (mid 80's) and a small Traynor TS15. I have always been a rock and blues fan but enjoy anything if it sounds good.
As a side note, it should be quite simple to harrass Robert for his demonstration DVD's now !
Best regards all
Ted

Welcome to thefret.net Ted, this a great place!
Those Aria Pro II are really nice 335 copies
I can't say that I've given up on a flanger cause I've never liked the effect either. I also can't say the same about Tremolo. I hate them both equally. - Tone2TheBone 2009

P.S. Nice wife you have there!

Welcome! Pull up a chair and stay a while. That's awesome for your wife to spring for lessons.
And, as for distractions about guitars and equipment, by signing in here you have exposed yourself to the Spudman-Nelskie-Robert Strain of G.A.S., otherwise known as Gear Acquisition syndrome. You will feel the need to purchase:
1) A Squier '51 Vintage Modified
2) VOX AD**VT series amph (for screaming solos)
3) Digitech Bad Monkey Overdrive pedal
4) Epiphone Valve Jr. amph head (5 watts of raging tube power, for more screaming solos, common in the duhvoodooman version of the syndrome)
5) Squier Strats, bought in at least multiples of 2 at a time
6) Any Peavey Classic Series tube amph
7) An SX bass
8) An Epiphone LP, with Duncan pickups, and a poster of the good Rev. Billy G.,
This syndrome is NOT curable, but the symptoms MAY be lessened by the acquisition of more and varied equipment. Only poverty has prevented me from falling victim to this syndrome. Have fun here, and good luck, man!

Welcome Ted. That Kat is one funny heckler. Only thing is...most of what he said is true. Just hide your wallet and focus on playing your guitar.
Glad to have you on board.

Ha! Tele-ish now inbound.
Ted, welcome! By the way, Kat's GAS list is not complete. You'll find yourself GAS'ing for lots of other stuff, too. I've come to the unfortunate conclusion that it's my playing that sucks, though, not my gear.
Sounds like you have a great wife. I'm contemplating lessons myself.
Guitars: Squier Standard Tele; Fender MIM fat strat; Traveler Speedster
Amp: Vox AD30VT; Vox DA5; Fender Frontman 25R
Other: DigiTech Bad Monkey; Tascam CD-GT1; Korg Pandora
