Someone suggested I should introduce myself but i've just found the 'please introduce yourself' section thanks to Tommy from Scotland.
I'm Gerry similiar to others played guitar when younger and then lost the time, only plyed it for the kids when they were younger then they grew disinterested, guitars ended up in attic, then my life took an unexpected change and i found myself with more time, rediscovered my guitars and my pick and started playing for friends(neighbours). Always had a love for Jim Croche material, played 'had to say i love you in a song' for years but was never happy with mid section, saw Neil's vid on utube and signed up for the lesson, very happy i now know the chord i was missing all those years.
Played Irish trad music for quite a while so anyone want to know how to play a jig no problem...Live in Ireland after many many years living in england, orginally from Belfast N.Ireland. Not sure what else to say except i've found some material on the site that brings me back and has me playing stuff i thought I'd forgot....looking forward to the coming months
Welcome to the party from Northern California. Gerry, put me down for learning a jig or anything else. I love Celtic music. My ancestors hail from Scotland, so I am ready and willing.
Like most of the rest of us, I think you will really enjoy the TG family.
Cheers,
Steve
Welcome Waxies. You have came to the right place, in no time, you will find it difficult to put your guitar down. The lessons are that good. If you have any questions, just ask. You will be amazed at all of the help and support on this site. When you have a chance, check out the TARGET program too. Its the best money you will ever spend on your guitar education.
Welcome from Colorado. This is a great guitar site, and we do learn a lot from each other. So get that video camera out and post a video of a jig. How fun that Neil resolved the Croce song for you. Glad you found him, and us. Hang out with us in the forum. We are great fun !! Izzy

Hi Gerry Top o the mornin to ya. Welcome to TG this is a great place but the icing is to be found in the TARGET programme (program for Bear). Check it out mate you'll never look back.
Welcome Waxies, glad to have you on board. Love to see you post a video of "Have to say I love you in a song" or any other Jim Croce.
Whats the significance of the name, waxies?
Waxies, a big welcome from Sydney. You'll love it here, especially if you join the Target program. We have the best fun. Once you're in (you'd have to be bonkers not to join) check out Kevin's videos. He plays Croce sooooo beautifully, he's a real inspiration. 'Time in a bottle' is also in the.program, unless of course I have my guitarists wrong. it's next on my to-learn-list. Neil does a great lesson on it. It's great that you've found this site. See you around. Michele
Gerry, big welcome from America (Oregon)! Very glad you found this site and hope you really enjoy your experience here. Good luck on your musical journey!

Hi D_dog
I posted a video of 'had to say I love you in a song' about 10 mins after joining in the guitar competition ! Waxies comes from 'Waxies Dargle' a band I used to play irish music with and as things have it I got caught with the handle waxies and have used it ever since. I'm off now to look at the classic gas video looks great and one of those pieces you'd always love to know how to play, cheers
