Re: Hello!
Well,
I started playing guitar when I was 8-9 and I am 50 now. I thought I was a hard rocker for a while, then thought I was a folk player. Quite playing for a long while while doing some school things. I have been back with the blues as my focus for the last 15 years when I have a chance. I usually play the picnic/BBQ things in the summer in the area. I put together backing tracks and then play instrumental over it. I am not hing special, and will not be quitting my day job anytime soon. A couple or the backing things I have been working up are at:

Sorry, if that is not the protocol here as well as for the playing. I expect you folks are in a different league.
I have way more stuff than talent. I play LP and Hamer type guitars mostly. I usually play these into a 5e3 clone or Bassman LTD though of late I have been taken with a Tweaker head. I like to use some pedals as well as the amp. Skreddy Screw driver mostly and Boss DD^ or DD7 delays.
If anyone is still awake at this point I am impressed with your persistence!

Re: Hello!
That is the perfect way to share your songs, that's the way most folks here do it. As for the playing, we have some guys here who are real mean blues players, then others like me who are very new and not so mean (I've been playing 3 years).
Have a look around the bluesroom part of the forum to listen to some of the things shared by other members. A lot of the regulars have soundclick pages you can take a look at. I recommend VikingBlues, BlindBoy, HalfBlindLefty, Strummer...and many others but they are who sprung to mind first (sorry if i missed you).

Re: Hello!
Hi Doc
and
You're just a youngster here!
I've done the aquisition thing, like most of us, for years, but now I'm down to my 52RI tele and my Laney Lionheart, backed up by a Fender Champ, my son's 80's Mexican Strat and a Marshall MG 15 CD?, which allows me to use earphones when everyone gets fed up with 'Buddy Guy'.
For slide, I use a kidsize pink guitar with one pup and no tone control, which really sounds the business!!
Oh, I've also got a Yamaha FG 720, cheap but lovely tones.
Happy playing.

Re: Hello!
Hi Doc, welcome to 12Bar. Lynard77Skynyrd is right, there are a lot of very talented Blues players on this forum. But... Don't let him fool you, he is very good himself. There are also a lot of us beginner too. From your description it sounds like you could be right up there with the more advanced players. And as for your age... I think you will be pulling the average age of this site down a bit! Stick around, you are going to love this place.

Re: Hello!

There are some great pickers here, and then those like me with more gear than sense. You will like it.
Like your backing tracks, by the way.
