Howdy from Texas.
I've been a member here for a while as a lurker, I really enjoy reading the posts, especially the build posts.
I bought the DVD set from learn and master guitar and have been spending alot of time practicing. I still can't strum very well but I can play notes pretty good. I live in Plano Texas, which is just North of Dallas After looking at the build threads, it is now my dream to build a guitar. Kevin

Welcome, Kevin, from another Texan (San Antonio). There are a number of us here, including a bunch from your neck of the woods...as you'll know from your lurking, I'm sure.
I see you're taking the opposite approach to learning from mine: I just learned chords and strumming first (of course, that was well over four decades back). But if you're already getting proficient at single-note picking, you may have a future as a bluegrasser. Cheers, Dirk

Welcome Kevster, Welcome, I lurked for a while at first also, but being part of the conversations is great. I share your interest in Ray Wylie Hubbard's music. Where I live,that style of music does'nt get much airply. Can you suggest any other artists playing in a style similiar to RWH. (esp his last 2 albums) Thanks Bob

Welcome Kev from another "nooby" on the site. I'm in the San Antonio area. Keep up the consistent practice even if it's just a short amount of time/per day. It adds up!

He is from Kentucky, here's a sample... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7FNB0...e_gdata_player

Hi Kevin,
Welcome to the AGF! Glad you have joined up. My wife and I lived in Plano from 1970-73 when we were first married. The place looks a lot different now, of course. - Glenn
