Default Hi from Chicago

Hi. I'm new to this forum...I'm actually new to any forum formats. I was so impressed with this community that I wanted to join. It's encouraging to me to see such positive interaction between members and how well organized the moderators keep things!

About me..I've been a guitarist for 27 years. My first influences were Jimi Hendrix and Eddie Van Halen, both of whom I still love.

But I was fortunate to get a teacher when I was just beginning to learn guitar that turned me on to theory and jazz.

I have now made my living as a guitarist (mainly in the jazz world) for the past 15 years or so.

I'm very much looking forward to some great interactions and discourse with the other members here!

Hi Jeff. Thanks for the welcome. You have a great operation here! I'm sure we must have some friends in common here in Chicago.

We might, though I'm not as established as you are bro! Great to have you aboard.

I live in a small bubble...someday I'll be getting myself back out there, but right now it's time to teach a bit, focus on my newborn son, and spend as much time in the shed as life allowws...

Sounds like you're keeping plenty busy. Congrats on the newborn! I know how hard it is to find time for anything after a baby comes. Gets easier as they get older. I have a near nine year old now.
