Hi All,

My name is Chris. I'm 52 and when not recovering from torn cartilage in my knee and the subsequent surgery, I drive a truck locally for a living. I've been playing since the mid-seventies. I own or co-own (the wife plays too) 4 guitars and 5 basses including most notably IMHO, a Martin DX-1, A mid-seventies model Ibanez Les Paul copy (lawsuit model),a Fender Precision, a Dean 8 string bass and an Olympia 4 string acoustic bass.

I live in southern Indiana across the Ohio River from my hometown of Louisville, Kentucky. We have 3 kids with one left at home, currently attending Indiana University Southeast as an education major. (He's going to be a teacher like his mother.)

I played in working rock and roll bands from about '76 to '91 mostly playing original music to frighten small children by. One of the bands I was in had vinyl pressed 3 different times. Once part of a compilation on a small label in Indianapolis. Once a demo we did got picked up by an indie label in Chicago and most recently the 3 tracks we recorded in Indy were part of a retrospective compilation of my hometown music scene from '79 to '83. One of my greatest musical accomplishments is having received two royalty payments. I would say I'm an intermediate player at best on the guitar and I have a confession to make. I've been known since '81 as a bass player.

Hi All,
I'm a 32 year old Hungarian. I've been playing the guitar for 7 years.
First I learnt classical style, then rock and blues (solo guitaring).
Although my basics are OK, I'd like to improve myself at home (I have 1 little daughter, the second child is on the way .
I think I'm not so bad, but I should improve my self confidence: playing some songs in front of a small audience almost gives me a heart-attack
I'm really happy that I found this site, Neil's teaching method is great, that's what I need.
I have an ElectroAcoustic Fender Guitar, a classical Yamaha and a noname Electric (stratocaster-style).
My favourite guitarists are Richie Sambora, Ritchie Blackmore and George Harrison. Thank you for the great site.
Laszlo (Laci)
