Topic: Just saying helo...

Hi all, just thought I'd post a quick hello as a new user of this fine site. My thanks to all those who've contributed tabs/chord patterns for the likes of me to pinch. wink

As it goes I'm not new to guitar playing, but have recently started again after a twenty odd year break and learning all over again.

You have good company, then.  Many of us took up or took back up guitar when our beards were gray and hair sparse. 

Welcome to Chordie.  I look forward to your participation.

Re: Just saying helo...

Welcome Usky.  Same story here.  I spent more years not playing than playing.  It was a roller coaster for sure.  Now I have been back to it for about 5 years steady.  Every day, that is.  Sure makes a difference.  Stick around and join in.  We look forward to your comments and company.

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

Re: Just saying helo...

I too didnt play for a while.Believe it or not,it was the tab sites that got me back in.All this music at my fingertips.Now i have 5 three ring binders full of tabs at my disposal.When I get too stressed there is nothing like playing to relieve it.Makes you(as in me) appreciate it even more when you get back to playing on a regular basis.WELCOME TO CHORDIE

Re: Just saying helo...

Hi ya Usky- and welcome. Like a lot of others I came back to playing after a long break. At the tender age of 61 years I'm having more fun than ever. My thanks to all you here on Chordie, you all have helped me more than you know.

Re: Just saying helo...

Welcome to Chordie! I've found that hanging around this site tends to make me more excited about guitar and learning more and improving. You'll find some great folks here too!

Re: Just saying helo...

Thanks for the welcome folks - so it seems (with a few exceptions naturally) I've accidentally dropped in to a fellow 'Old Fart' community here! big_smile

I'll try not to bore you all too much with my inane drivel. wink

I have to say that while whiskey does improve with age, I have no plans to sample it on the second time around.

Thanks Norm - I've enjoyed sitting on the sidelines and just reading bits in the forums, but have spent most of my time reading and playing the various songs available.

This is a great spot not to feel stupid in! Always lots of help and comments available. Would not be the player I am today ( if I can call myself a player ) without it. Welcome Usky.

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.

Thanks Johnny - nice to meet so many friendly faces here. As the old saying goes, great oaks from little acorns grow... my playing is still at acorn stage, but give it time, give it time. wink

Shymae Phil butty,

Funny how many colonials refer to the UK as England isn't it? Keep on educating mate and I'll lend a hand. Wales is very definitely a superior country. wink

I'm starting to get a grip on tabs, but it's slow progress. I dare say I'd have done better take a few lessons!

Don't be so sure about those lessons Usky.  My teacher is a hack who plays no better than his student.  Of course, I am self-taught...
