Hello all! :)

Hello everyone!
I am new to the forum and so am posting here to say hello and introduce myself.
I'm a professional translator who works in Frankfurt Am Main, Germany, although I am English myself.
I'm in a band that plays hard rock/heavy metal, and I wrote a lot of techno/break beat on computer as an adolescent. But, actually the first meaningful thing I learnt to play was Blues on the piano, and this has been a consistent theme throughout pretty much all of my work.
While I love my Iron Maiden and headbanging stuff, my first love is still blues, and nothing quite makes me happy like sticking on a blues backing track, closing my eyes and just letting my guitar do the talking.
The only problem is, I suck. My guitaring is shoddy at best, and fine blues is well beyond me.
When I upload some of my playing, you'll see exactly what I mean. My style is odd, I feel trapped by scales, my expression is immature etc etc.
I've signed up to this forum mainly because I really need help and tips from experienced blues players, and hopefully, eventually will be able to help others too - as is the way of such forums.
Well, i think that's all that's relevant for the moment.
Peace and have a good day :)
