Hello GT staff & members. I've been a member for five years or more and absolutely love this site. I was injured during my tour of duty to Afghanistan and returned from the desert in 2013. Another injured sailor that I met during my tenure in a two year medical hold status turned me on to guitar. I've messed with the guitar since then and not really getting anywhere. Playing the guitar is like therapy for me and I've always wanted the learning curve to go much faster but it didn't mainly because of a hurry mindset. I've recently decided to take it nice and slow and really get better and it's working. I live just outside the Jacksonville, Florida area and I balance my therapy between fishing and playing guitar. I have an Epiphone acoustic, a Gibson Les Paul tribute and I just purchased a Fender Stratocaster and a Fender 68 Custom Deluxe Reverb Amp. So now my tool-box is looking good and I just need to get busy. Keep on Rockin...
