Hi and welcome from one of the UK mob, great bunch of folk on here with plenty of advice and encouragement. You might also like to take a wander down to the basement and join some of us in the Virtual Jam Room, you have to bring your own beer though
Born and raised in NYC...retired in NJ...bought my first guitar (Hagstrom III) and Amp (Deluxe Reverb) in 1963...both still in excellent condition. And still learning...
