Introduce your name and location here

Merv Duke near Toronto Canda

Tell us a little about your story, you can tell us your age if your game but not necessary (or age bracket, we have a truly diverse group ), when did you take up guitar? How long have you been playing? What led you to look for lessons or help, how you ended up here?

Age 60+ playing casually no training for 30+ years.
Disabled due to car accident a year ago, more time now to play and learn more now

What Kind of Guitar do you play, do you have any others in your stable? Do you lust after anything else specifically (all of us here have the 'disease' it seems)

Current favorite Larrivee L10SE
Others Guitars, Guild D35NT, Ovation 6 string and Ovation 12 String, and solid body D'Armond?

What is your favourite music to play? to listen too? what kind of playing styles would you like to learn or already know?

Listen to all music - classical to country and rock. Play mostly soft rock and ballads. Gordon Lightfoot, Niel Diamond, Eagles, Elvis, Roy Orbison,

If there was one goal you could accomplish in your learning journey what would that be? or maybe you have many?

Open up some new songs and improve style. the material I have currently is becoming too repetitive and as a result a bit boring

Anything else you would like to share ?, family, hobbies outside of Guitar you will meet everyone from golfers to Gourmet Chef's to car nuts, and sports folk.. and everyone imbetween: whatever else you may want to add

Considering trying Pan Flute soon. Not committed to the idea as yet.

Hi Merv. Great intro. Glad you decided to join us here at TG. You have certainly came to the right place, Neil's lessons are the best. You certainly won't be bored here, there is a large candy store of songs to play, theory to learn, vocal instruction, leads and riffs. And then there is the TG Forum.... There are a lot of great people and fine musicians from all over the world to help you if you need it and answer any questions you might have. Jump in, the water is fine. Welcome. Happy playing.



Bill
