I joined today, posted a question already...and then realized many folks post a self-introduction here. (Plus we have to have 3 posts before we can link photos and such!) So here goes:
I'm newly retired, have had an old Ibanez acoustic around most of my life but started playing somewhat seriously around 2003. Bought a Takamine acoustic, a friend of a friend happened to come over and he played some beautiful finger-style stuff on my new toy. Hearing leads in my head, I ran for my old beater guitar, laid down some lines and the hook was set hard, forever. A month or so later, he brought tons of gear to my house New Years' Eve, with a plan for the 2 of us to play a harmonized version of Auld Lang Syne VERY loud in my garage for the neighborhood to (enjoy?) Too much fun - since that night, I've never paused from playing guitar for longer than a week.
And of course, I've gathered a few more instruments since then! But I just got my first PRS last month, a 10-top burst 2009 Ted McCarty SC245 with Santana headstock and soapbars - and I absolutely love everything about it.
I play mostly rock and blues and, now with much more time than ever before, can play quite regularly with others who either have or can make the time. Loving life!
