Hey everybody. Been lurkin about in here for a long time,...finally joined. I play an Ibanez RG,...thru a FM212. I'm getting a late start, as I'm 40 years old,....but I decided a year or so ago I want to know how to play guitar,...and I want to play live. (kind of a bucket list item i guess) so I'm practicing till the skin peels off my fingers.... I want to play HAIR METAL ;D I bought the no boundries cd,....whew,....heavy stuff to deal with in there,....I feel like its almost hopeless,....but I am making progress. So if I ask stupid questions,....please bare with this old man,...

Oh btw,.....
I like MABs playing style,....his arpeggios are friggin awesome.
I grew up (my teen years) watching Steve Blaze of Lillian Axe play at a local club here,..... He's probably one of my idols,..along with MAB,....Nuno Bettencourt,..Paul gilbert,....
I should mention I guess I'm still a kid at heart,....I ride a harley,....I cut my "big hair' off years ago,...but I'm growing it back,.......heck my kids are all grown now,...so time for poppa to have some fun again. I played drums for years when i was younger,..in a honky tonk band,..but I always wanted to play in a metal band,...I wanted to be that cool guitarist up front,....the one all the chicks dig (lol) ,..so what the hell have I got to lose,...i'm goin for it.

I got a pretty cheap RG321 I've had a couple years.
I'm thinking I might buy me a Jackson DK2, played one at a store here the other day and liked it./

I can actually play some songs,...and some really good lead parts that I have learned from copying. But now I'm trying to actually figure out what the heck I'm doing.
