Topic: six years

Just wanted to share with you guys that today is my birthday!!  Its also the sixth anniversary of the day when I fulfilled a life long dream to play the guitar.   Well, to be honest....the anniversary of when my wife bought me a Tanglewood acoustic, so that I could start to learn to play the guitar.

I've been a member here for maybe four years and you've been a great help.  From reading questions from other beginers to the videos posted by players at teh level that I aspire to.

I probably will never reach the level I long for...but it doesn't stop me trying!! 

Thanks for all the help guys!

Pat

Happy birthday. 

If you are ever satisfied with your guitar playing, it's time to quit.  Keep learning and improving!

I have finally found happiness in my life.  Guitars, singing, beer and camping.  And they all intertwine wonderfully.

Yeah, what he said.  Glad you got it Pat.  I got a similar start 10 yrs ago and like most of us not where I wish I was, but content that it does just keep getting better.   If only in ever so small steps, ha!

I believe you are in the little lady's debt as it's a nice gift.

Re: six years

Quite an interesting story on chooglin, AccousticNoyz.  I had no idea about some of that.
