The Friendly 12bar Blues Guitar Forum

Hi Everyone. Wow what a webisite and forum!!!!

Tom's the name. 41 years old, two brats and a wife. Picked up the guitar about a year ago. Used to play when I was young and thought I was gonna be a rock star. but I was lousy lol. But I always loved and still love blues.

Guys for the past year or so, I cannot stop listening to EC and his blues stuff. I try to play it on my guitar all the time when the kids and wife give me time. Love it so much. I am so excited about this site. wow.

When I was young i tried to appreciate and listen to Robert Johnson but my young horny ears just wouldnt let me. Now I cant get enough of the delta stuff. And now that I discovered EC's stuff WOW!!! Cant stop listening to the stuff.

I have an Ibanez artwood OOO body. Solid top. Sounds pretty good for a hacker like me. Been really trying my best at fingerpickin. Stopped using a pick about six months ago.

Look forward to meeting some new friends here.

on this excellent Forum I hope you enjoyed just like i do and all the others n here We all share the passion of the blues Young and old, whit a great respect for everybody and there skills. Stay and watch some players growing and learn from others. Back up the rookies. This is my 2e home. And my life long wish to play with people all over the world is finally come true. Look fore-wart to play a collab with you.

Tom here....

You will see and learn a lot here thats for sure.

to the forum Tom.

That's quite a familiar story about coming back to the guitar too.

If you want to learn and get help with the blues I can't think of a better forum to be on.

And I'm glad I'm not the only one that didn't "get" the blues at a younger age. Wish I had - too many "lost" years to catch up on.

Enjoy it here.
