                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Welcome tdirgins. <br><br>I just recently started formal lessons myself. I tried for 2 yrs on my own but lost direction, so I went to my old high school music teacher. It works out great 'cause even after all these years (20   :shock:  where did the time go) he remembered that I have terrible timing and no sense of pitch.  :lol:  He's old school,(mostly standard notation to start then moving into tab) I get a little theory, technique, and practice. The important thing is I'm having fun with my guitar again. <br>Hope to see you around the forums.<br><br>ROCK ON!!!! :note1:  :note2:]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I'm old - well, old-ish - and I'm still learning! I can honestly say I've learned a lot more in four years here, though, than in the previous 20-odd years I played, or rather messed around on guitar. Now get that Ibanez out and get practising - eleven years is a LOT of catching up!<br><br>Welcome to GN, and I hope you learn as much - or more - as I have!<br><br> :D  :D  :D <br><br>Vic]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[My friend had to wear a badge that said that when he worked at a hotel in college. :lol: <br><br>Anyway, finally started formal lessons in Februrary after my Ibanez acoustic ( a gift from the wife) sat in the case for 11 years. <br><br>A month later I picked up an Epiphone Special II Player Pack from Sam Ash. For my birthday the wife got me a Washburn Rover, since I travel a lot for work.<br><br>My instructor is great--does a nice mix of theory, technique, and leaves time each lesson to work on songs. Looking forward to reading the great info on this forum!]]></content:encoded>
