        I just signed up for the full lessons, so i thought I’d introduce myself. I got started by playing the Rocksmith game, and then I decided I should take lessons. I took them for a couple years until recently when both my mom and my guitar teacher passed away within a day of each other. I took a short break, then started up with lessons again recently. Even after all this time, I don’t feel like im very good, but I still find it fun.

        I discovered the Active Melody videos on YouTube about a year ago and I really enjoyed them, especially since I’m a bit focused on the blues. Today, I decided I wanted to see what else was getting included with the public videos, and I also wanted to see how this forum would be.

        Anyway, I’m done rambling! Time to get back to practicing!

              Welcome, David. If you’re up to it, there’s a membership challenge each month. You could take the challenge or just play a lesson as is. There are posts on recording yourself and producing a video or members are happy to help you. Have fun.

                  Thank you! I saw the challenge and I’m debating giving it a shot, since it’s something I’ve been working on lately anyway. I’ll have to find a good backing track… 🙂

                  Welcome to AM David. This is a great lesson site and forum with members that encourage you along the way. If you want to connect a bit more fill in some bio info like your gear and musical influences. With members all over the world it’s cool that we share the love of music and guitar playing.
