I am a 46-year old father of 4 living in the Philly area. Guitar has been a longtime interest, and up until now, guitar books and manuals have been my primary source of information. My goal in joining Totally Guitars is to improve my skill level at a faster rate then possible with traditional book learning. My strategy is to broaden my knowledge of scales and learn a few new songs a week- time permitting.
Applying the definition used here, I am intermediate player. My taste in guitar music runs toward bluesy rock. I like alternative acoustic versions of songs by the Beatles, CCR, etc. I also really enjoy Springsteen's acoustic work- the Nebraska album, for example, and Clapton's Unplugged set. I'd like to see some of these songs added to the collection.
I'm glad I joined the site and am looking forward to gaining more insights about playing.

Hi and welcome, Michael.
I started with books as well and only got so far. My playing has vastly improved since TG- I'm sure you'll find the same.

Michael, welcome to TG from Canada. I am sure you will enjoy the site as much as I do. I also like the accoustic version of popular songs. There are already some on the site and more to come. I am in the Philly area every other month for business, always liked the area.
