Introduce Yourself First! We think of each other as being part of a community, and want to know who you are. Use this as an opportunity to honestly represent yourself and why you are here. Be Respectful of others when posting: There is a lot of leeway of what is acceptable here, but, your point should be able to be made without humiliating, hateful words, witch-hunts, ganging up, bullying, name calling, threats, or violence. (The types of things that you wouldn't find acceptable at a Dead Show.) Be Kind: a good rule of thumb when interacting on this site is to ask yourself: are you kind?
I've been a member here for years, but I never properly introduced myself. Quick description. Decent rhythm guitar player, poor guitar collector, gearhead. I've also got a wife and two daughters.
Do you mean you are of a man of no means or you're not good at selecting collectables?

I spent a week in Nashville, in the summer of '04, attending the National Guitar Workshop in Murfreesboro. The class was Hot Country Guitar licks. Our guest instructor was Bill Kirchen. We learned guitar all morning, jammed all afternoon, and hit Broadway each night. I got maybe 4 hours of sleep a night and got sick as hell upon returning home but it was worth it!
Here's an example of putting some of the hot country licks I learned at the Workshop into practice. Yeah, I know people who play Mustang Sally are the butt of jokes across the 'net but the women get up and dance to it so it can't be all bad and it's a good vehicle for country and rockabilly licks.
