Thanks everyone I look forward to some morning laughs and stories.

@Shout out to Pete!

@Roger - You just made my day! Gruff, Brusque, Abrupt, Short, Curt, Churlish, Rude, Impolite, Discourteous, Disagreeable, Bad-tempered, Truculent, Grumpy, Short-tempered, Irritable, Boorish, Crabby, Unhelpful  -- All the fruits of the spirit, I guess that term could describe me sometimes, especially before coffee.

@Tandm3 - I still have my first electric guitar, a '73 Guild solid body - I modified it about 25 years ago with a Washburn tremolo but I still have the original hardware, it needs a fret change so now it just sits in the corner. I usually play one of my two Ibanez 560's I picked up in 2000 and 2002. My acoustic is an old Takamini six string. I'm a player, I'll finger any guitar I can get my hands on, but I shy away from wide necks.

@topdown - Thanks, this is more than perfect.

My name is Dwight and all I can say is WOW, am I glad I found this amazing site.

I used to surf a few other sites, but they have become too difficult to navigate for my liking.

History:
Yob '1959, married since '78
Lvg:Poway CA

Started playing piano at age five (forced), guitar at age 13 (Punishment).

Try to practice one day a week for four hours with my buddy in our rendition of a studio.(off and on, but mostly on for 30yrs)
Play rhythm guitar with fills, and he plays lead. (I do know a few leads though) wink
Really enjoy the vibe of getting it right and being in tune.
Have three electric guitars and one acoustic. Also have two upright pianos and one electric (old and beat up--ready to croak).
Blues, R&R, Ballads, C&W and Gospel.
Need to learn newer popular stuff - This place is perfect for my needs.

Never been in public, only in the studio. (I know, what a Hermit, but I only have two friends.)

Just want to say thanks for the great site.

@Doug, Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, I'll say hello in the chat corner.
@Amy OK, If I have anything that involves advertising here I will make sure to do that. I just like the place and thought I would let my friends (all two of them) know about your site.

Thanks for building such an ambitious site. I know I will get a ton of use out of it. Hey if you don't mind I would like to give you some link love from one of my sites.  Do you have a preferred landing page or keyword you need boosted?

Best Regards,

Dwight
