Newbie! G'Day

Hi Guys,
Steev from Broken Hill, Australia! I've been playing on and off for about 15 years and not really getting anywhere other than strumming chords. I dont think that I really knew what style and type of music that I wanted to play. Then I turned the big "five o" a couple of years ago (I was devastated) and by chance I heard a version of "Dont Get Around Much Anymore" played on an acoustic, fingerstyle, now I know where I want to go. Arranging your own chord melodies is tough for a beginner and even tougher where I live as it is miles from anywhere with limited resources. This website and you guys are an inspiration and a wealth of knowledge to me.
Just for fun google Broken Hill and have a virtual tour, its the Gateway To The Outback.

Steev
