 The New Guy Hey all! I stumbled across this site and it just seems perfect for me. I'm 40 (late bloomer) and I'm just learning guitar, though I'm not new to music or music theory. I wish I had learned a long time ago as this is more fun than any instrument I've played. I've grown up loving the standard greats: Wes Montgomery, Les Paul, Joe Pass, The Pizzarellis, Kenny Burrell, etc... and more recently, Pat Metheny, Ted Greene, and so on. I never hope to play like them, just learn to play in general and have fun with it. I'm also another Fenderphile!  So I'll go in the Tele-jazz category I suppose. I hope not to try anyone's patience with rudimentary questions, etc, so thanks for letting me on-board! Tim  P.S.: I don't know how to upload my signature banner onto my profile for this site so if anyone could help.... Thanks!       |

 Tim, welcome to the group. I am from OK, and lived in the OKC area for 10+ years, playing at all the festivals, and bars like Ichiro's Samurai Sake House. My pop still lives there, so I get down ever so often. |

| Really?! That's awesome! Small world. My Dad studied at OCU and played all over OK before going to NY for the better part of the 50s and 60s. He played with a lot of the local names like Benny Garcia, Wayne Nichols, etc. Most don't know what a good jazz scene and history OKC has. Thank you for the welcome! Tim  |
