Topic: introductions

well after a few responces to a poem i submitted here i guess i shall introduce myself.  I am a self taught guitarist of over 20 years.  Punk might be my favorite stuff to play and listen to but musically, I am all over the Map.  Grew up with a lot of rolling stones, pink floyd and everything from that era to hank williams, commander cody, muddy waters, howling wolf and everything in between.  if i could have just one guitar.....hands down a guild d-50.

Re: introductions

It's great to have you with us, punkrawker, and as I tell all folks who join us here, "Teach us something!" smile

I looked at your list of influences and I can pretty much assure you that one of our family (not gonna name him wink ) will be pleased to know you're a Commander Cody fan.

As for being "all over the map", I think that describes just about everyone at "Chordie", so you should fit right in.

I'm certain that more than just me will be here soon for more welcoming to the "friendliest site on the internet", so for now, welcome aboard and have fun with us.

Re: introductions

Welcome to Chordie Punkrawker,

When I first saw your post I thought that punk might have been an influence in your life, perhaps I am psychic or something. lol

Many of us like various type of music, I am not keen on opera and I think that rap is so non music it should be spelt with a capital 'C'.

Nice to have you join us, make yourself at home,

Roger

Hi Punkrawker. I'm sure you're going to fit in just fine. I like your signature, anything with the word brew in it's fine by me.

Re: introductions

Welcome to Chordie, Punkrawker!

Musical tastes are as varied as food tastes, i.e., we all like different things, but we all love to eat! The common bond here is music and guitars, and we probably all found Chordie while we were searching the Internet to learn more and expand our horizons. A Guild D-50 is an excellent choice of guitar, BTW!

Hope to hear from you often!

Re: introductions

wow, never expected that much positive responses.  thank you!!  well dont let the name fool ya, its the only name i can think of thats not taken and has zero ties to my real name much like the rest of us.  for some reason or another I rarely write full songs or poems long enough to be songs, usually just a chorus and/or a verse here and there.  I write what i know and what i have experienced in 33 yrs so far, some favorite writers of mine would be tim armstrong (rancid), mike ness(social distortion), jerry cantrel(alice in chains), jim cuddy(blue rodeo), phil anselmo(pantera/down)  the man in black,  hank Sr and III to name a few.  I dont care too much for mystical, fantasy related stuff, just not my cup of tea so to speak.  For some reason its the every day life blue collar stuff that i get drawn to, hard times and ways to over come it.  music has always been an outlet for me whether its listening to an album, watching a show or playing guitar coming up with riffs and progressions here and there.
