Keep at it. Sounds like you are making progress. It's a life long journey. It should never ends.]]> Meet and Greet Bish https://guitarnoise.forum/meet-and-greet/hello-from-the-midwest/#post-388485 https://guitarnoise.forum/meet-and-greet/hello-from-the-midwest/#post-47728 Sun, 26 Aug 2018 20:22:18 +0000
I have two guitars: An Epiphone LP Special II and a Gibson Faded T I bought second hand in mint condition. I also have a Yamaha THR10C amp I use.

My knowledge so far: I can finger the A, D and E chords 95% of the time without muting other strings. I have the major scale pattern 1 (or box pattern) down, working on other variations of the majors and learning the natural minor. I also work on arpeggios, occasionally.

At the 6 mo mark, I'm going to hire a guitar teacher. Been looking carefully and I have one or two, maybe three possibilities.

Favorite songs: Hotel California (want to play this), pretty much anything by Satriani, Smooth by Santana and really, too many to list. While I can appreciate any music, rock and blues evoke more in me.]]> Meet and Greet Robert_S https://guitarnoise.forum/meet-and-greet/hello-from-the-midwest/#post-47728
