Hi Matt,
Thanks for sharing some of your story with us. You have any family pictures or videos of yourself as a kid banging those pots and pans? That would be pretty neat. Did it drive your folks crazy?[br][br]
It really does seem like a lot of us are taking up guitar to find something creative to fill some kind of hole we start to feel as we get into midlife and in a lot of cases retirement. [br][br]
Good luck learning to play that Jackson. Sure is a cool looking axe![br][br]

It takes as long as it takes unless you quit - then it takes forever and you will never get there.
