Hi there my name is Ben Im 21 years old, living in Michigan. Ive messed around on guitar for years on and off but a little over a year ago I got an acoustic for my birthday and Ive been practicing regularly (5 hours yesterday!) ever since then. Im half-competent on bass, drums, and trumpet as well. Im into african drumming and hand percussion also. Cheers!

Ben,

Hi from sunny Sydney.

You sound like a musically talented man. Well you've absolutely come to the right place if you want to develop your guitar skills further. Neil is a teaching genius. The best way to get a kick start around here is to jump in boots and all; participate in the forum, post yourself playing, basically join in. There is so much material to help with learning and the folks in the community are a font of experience and information.

If you haven't joined the TARGET program think about that too.

Have fun. Hopefully we'll see you around the forum.

Hi Ben, This site has got so much to offer; as Michele has said best way is to jump in boots and all, have a good look round at the free stuff heaps to keep you going but the nectar is the TARGET programme more than enough to develop anyone's guitar playing.

Enjoy.
