Hey yall. Names Derrick. Totaly new to music and found this site
in the hopes to help me along the way. I myself am 21, outgoing,
pretty much a rock lover and a car guy. Trying to fix my car's
blown up motor at the moment. Imports.. And yep I still live in
my parents basement.lol How cool is that. haha. Single at the
moment but always looking. Im working in autobody repair and still
learning the ropes. I like to work with my hands and love cars so
I enjoy it for the most part. Raised alot of hell awhile back and
almost took the ticket to the military. Ive always thought about
joining but I dont know what to think of where we sit in the world
and if it would be the right thing for me to do. I do support our
troops and say they are a godsent. People in thoughs war torn parts
of the world are pretty crazy acting yet they still want peace.
I think that if somone doesnt make things right that it will only
get worse. I do wish we had more support in our quest IF that is our
true goal. But yeah I am a pretty average guy I guess. I have always
been in love with the sound of music and feelings it gives. I have
always been intrested in it one way or another. Not a big concert
craver but I havent been to good one either. Listen to tunes all the
time though and have always wanted a crack at learning. It all looks
so complicated and confusing though and never knew if I would ever
take the time to check it out and see how it done.
Im pretty much a total newb to the guitar and music as of the moment.
Ive always loved music and Ive always been intrested in the idea of
learning to play guitar. I Actualy didnt go out looking for a guitar
when I bought my fist one here recently. It was in mind to pick one
up someday but I had no clue as of when and how I would learn. Anyhow
or anyways I was at Wallmart looking around at the rollbacks and I
spotted a lone guitar in the electronics section. So I figured I
would check it out. It looked decent although the box was alittle
beaten and it turned out to be an electric. Ive heared that electric
may be helpfull in learning due to the string pull but ive heard
otherwise also too. So anyhow I asked the clerk about it. He said
that it was the only one in store and was actualy a return somone
brought back. He told me to make an offer for it and assured me that
it was tested and worked. I said 30 in a no go lowball of course but
he ended up setting a deal at 60. I figured what the hell, its a start
and it sounded like a pretty fresh deal. I did have to buy a guitar
amp wire and pick that somone forgot to return but aside that im
content with the deal. Ive been picking the string off it since I
bought it a couple weeks ago. No actual music persay but I do manage
to get some repeative beats out of the thing. Ive been trying to
cleanly work the fretboard without touching the other strings and
trying to learn picking one string a few or another. As that looks
important. Still no real playing as of yet in my oppinion. So in the
moment I find myself here and wanting to learn. I hope that I can
learn some usefull things, find some usefull tools and maybe make
some friends. Anyhow folks I hope to hear youre feedback!
