Default Hello!

Hello all, I wanted to see if there is an introduce yourself topic, but in the absence of finding one, hello everyone!

I'm Dan, from Manchester England. I've pretty much stopped playing any other guitar apart from my acoustics.

I'm primarily a jazz guitarist, but I've been wanting to learn to play folk and bluegrass music more than anything else. I'm getting heavily interested in Bryan Sutton's approach and loving it.

Careful you don't become a Manchester Hillbilly.

Forget all that lesson stuff. What you need is a John B. Stetson hat, a powder blue three piece suit, bolo tie, and a new pair of Larry's.

There's some areas of Manchester very much like that in their own way!

Dan, welcome to the AGF house (actually J.R. Rogers' place). I've been wandering through here pretty-much on a daily basis for the past 15 years. It's great for many reasons. Look forward to your participation.
