Hello everyone from the unusually frigid deep south. After spending a month or so browsing the site and reading the forums from the background, I guess it's time I jump in and get involved. I don't want to be that weird guy in the corner who's always watching but never speaks! Here we go!
My name is Scott, I'm 40 years old, and I am from Madison, Mississippi. My story seems to be a lot like many others I've read here. I took a few guitar lessons twenty years ago and learned some basics. Since then I've played on and off (more off than on) but haven't gotten past the point of playing a few easy songs, picking a little, and a few intros to songs. I've never really known how or what to practice or what I could realistically hope to play at my level. This led to frustration and more "off" periods. Recently though, I got the guitar out and starting searching youtube for someone that could teach me some Neil Young tunes. That's where I found Neil Hogan and TG. Wow! This was what I had been looking for. An excellent teacher and an incredible amount of information in one place. I think this site gives me the structure and instruction that I need to really start progressing. And from what I've seen, there appears to be a great support group within the Target community. I don't believe I've seen that anywhere else. So, with that said, I'm looking forward to learning with and from y'all.
And by the way: That Neil Young song I was looking for!
I just finished learning 'My My Hey Hey' (one of my favorites) from start to finish and it's sounding pretty good. Now that's progression!
Thanks, Scott
