Hi, I'm Wilson. And before I'm invited to post here, by a larger and furrier creature than myself... My ax is a Yamaha APX900. And should you care to see if the flesh resembles the madness within LOL, there are a few pics in my profile. I'm what Neil would call an intermediate guitarist. I can play parts of a lot of stuff, but only a few entire songs. But I'm here to become a solo guitarist. Angelina, Midsummer Day Dream, Big Love, Windy and Warm are just a few things I aspire to play. But I don't think you need a lot of notes and advanced technique to play a song with an ineffable musical grace that creates a sense of awe and wonder. That's really what I'm after. And I try to surround my self with musicians who do and inspire just that. I have a bunch of favorites and subscriptions in my Youtube site to some astounding guitarist who post new stuff most every day. Check it out if you want to see want to see what I mean, and what I aim to accomplish: www.youtube.com/user/Wils0n951 I've already seen some great instruction here and I'm very impressed by the what the guitarists here have learned from it and what it's brought out in them. I know I have a long way to go, but I'm really looking forward to the trip, and I'm already expecting great things to come of it. Peace be the journey, Wilson

Nice opening Wilson. Good thing you beat the big hairy one to it. He gets mighty hungry when he wakes up from his naps.

I know what you mean about a guitarist that can play something and it comes out so simply graceful that it almost brings tears to you. I love that stuff.

Hi Wilson, so you do not live near Stonehenge? . I really like your guitar model. What color is it?

No, but I do occasionally swim across the pond to leave some tracks and make a few crop circles. And it's the natural finish. I've liked Yamaha guitars since I saw Rik "the rocket" Emmet playing one back in the 80's. The neck feels great in my hands, the thin body is really comfortable, and I love the built in tuner.

Wilson I feel like we have been chatting for a while now but when someone posts an intro, one would be rude not to respond with a hello, welcome and enjoy.

Thanks, and good on ya mate! I really admire the Australian culture... The tough rugged attitude tempered with a polite and friendly kind of class and humor. It's great to see so many like minded folks around here, keeping the music alive and growing!

LOL! probably about 10-15 min I think! I was back there a few years ago for his wedding and I really enjoyed myself - we went by the Big Chicken. We went to a fun place called "Wild Wings" (I think that was the name of it). Lots of good food and good beer. Also went to some BBQ place (such and such brothers....). Awesome food. I could listen to the pretty girls talk all day long back there. Oh man southern belles.......

Hi, Wilson. Ive been enjoying your posts and look forward to seeing more.

Welcome Wilson from Jacksonville. I could of swore I seen Sasquatch climbing up Stone Mountain one time. A friend told me it was just the alcohol mixed with the heat but now i know he really does exist! Thank You.

Big 'ol "HOWWWWWDIE" from Texas. That's 'Sasquatch'? Looks like a lot of my in-laws!! Their from Southern Louisiana don't cha know!

I spent much of my life in Chamblee/Dunwoody area. I believe that would qualify as North Atlanta, GA burbs.

Hey Jay, I'm up in Duluth. North GA is beautiful, but there are just too many uptight yahoos in Atlanta lately. These days, I'm thinking that Atlanta is a good place to be FROM. I've been thinking about northern Colorado.

And hi Wiley. I lived in Arlington for a couple of years before I came here. I really liked Texas. I was amazed how soon it felt like home. And my harry alter-ego has a brother in law in Louisiana. DON'T let him sleep on your couch!

HI WIlson A very warm welcome although belated welcome man, any relation to that ball that Tom Hanks befriended? lol certainly look like you've got more hair

regards

Chas from New Zealand

Hey Wilson! Welcome to TG. That's funny that Chas said that about Tom Hanks' Wilson in Castaway. That's the first this I thought of.



Enjoy the ride!
