Hi I’m Dan.

Located in Northern California – not too far from Neil.

February 2009 a Bible study I attend decided to do an outreach to local senior citizen homes. The leader asked if anyone played guitar. Raised my hand - said I owned several guitars but hadn’t touched one in 30 years. That’s how I took up the guitar again.
30 years ago I was classically trained. Still own the classical guitar – but this time wanted to concentrate on solos with my steel string acoustic (when not learning old time Hymns for senior citizens.) Gave up guitar after college to pursue Karate as a hobby (to keep in shape). Can’t have long finger nails on your right hand and do knuckle pushups. My profile picture is me in a karate tournament – scoring a point.

After a 30 year respite lost all my calluses and finger coordination – but not my ability to sight read music. Enjoy Neil’s teaching – love all the lessons available on the internet. I’m getting better – not yet back to my earlier skills.

Posted a couple of videos in the community section and TGMatt suggested I also post them in the student channel and introduce myself to the forum.

Hi. :(

Hi Dan, Welcome to the party. Good to meet another Northern California musician. I'm about 75 north of Sacramento in Chico. Nice job with your Over the Rainbow post.

Welcome Dan,
I'm new to this also, and have never looked in the community section before, but you've given me a reason to look. Can't wait to check it out.
