Hi everyone,
I've been almost playing since I was a kid, but kept stopping and restarting, usually with decades in between. So I'm a newbie who knows some stuff, but doesn't know a whole lot more stuff. I'm going to stick with it this time, playing guitar is much more fun than not playing. I'm looking forward to sharing the joy of (Taylor) guitars with you. Just started learning finger style and find it incredibly frustrating and incredibly satisfying at the same time.   ;)

Yay Ciarre! What an awesome time to make a comeback! So many great resources out there to make it easy to connect with your inner fret-wizard. Tab-apps, forums like this, YouTube videos... so much out there to help you stick with it, learn more, and stay motivated. Rock on! (Or gently pluck on...either one is cool.)
