Hey Guys and Gals,
I've been playing around with the guitar for years. But I wouldn't consider myself very good. My ex-wife was a flamenco dancer so I really developed a love for the flamenco guitar. A few years ago I remarried. My wife has been a professional fiddle player for her whole life. Being around someone so involved in music has lit a fire under me to get serious about the guitar. I can't think of anything more enjoyable then for her and I to play together. I'm really happy to have found this site. I'm sure I will be able to learn much from Neil.
Take care!
Joe

Joe,
You're about to get run over by the welcome wagon momentarily, but I wanted to comment just how lucky you are to have an opportunity to share music with your wife.
Whatever you need to make that happen is here at TG. If you need help it's here for the asking.

Welcome aboard Joe,
You can count on learning a lot from Neil, he is one awesome instructor
and has an outstanding support team. Many members here also are a great
resource.
Fair Winds,
Jim

Welcome to the right place Joe! Good move swapping the Flamenco dancer for the fiddler... dancing with a guitar sticking out between you would have been real handicap.
Knights in White Satin your favourite song by any chance? Chris

If I hadn't a modicum of high school German I might have thought you were swearing! Bin ich schade?
