Topic: Just saying hello

A few years ago my wife bought a guitar for me for Christmas.  She purchased a Samick SW-21 NM and I love it. She had help at the music store by the salesman and it has been great. I had been acquainted with the guitar years and years ago but never became proficient at it and would like to be at some point. I've read a few threads on the forum and thought this site maybe for me. I've always loved the acoustic sound and love bottleneck blues ie: Bonnie Raitt and others. I hope to become better as the years go on and hopefully I'll play like I think I should. I know baby steps and practice, practice, practice. I hope to be able give my fair share of help along the way when I visit this site. Thanks for listening.....
