I just learned of this forum, came, saw lots of good stuff, and decided to join in.
New here, but hardly a new player. I've been playing since, I think, 1961 (or maybe 1962). First crap acoustic, then, in less than a year my first electric. A Gibson ES125tdc.
Yeah, of course, did the rock thing in my teens and early twenties and had some small success.
When, in 1968, I married a bandmate -- now my musical collaborator and wife of some 54 years -- we decided to "go folk" -- acoustic that is -- as we started a family, not really liking where the rock scene was then heading.
I got back into playing electrics when our son went off to college some 20 years later.
These days I still write, arrange, and perform music, but solely for my own pleasure. Usually solo, sometimes with Jan, my wife, or with what I call "The BlackBox Band" -- i.e., programable backing gear.
Blues, rock, and whatever.
I fell in love with the "SG" guitar before it had that name. But being then still a teen such was totally out of my price range.
Jan, made up for that back in 2004 by giving me this one -- a Gibson SG Supreme.
Was it worth the wait? And how!
Anyhow, glad to be here on the Everything SG forum. Looking forward to getting to know you all, sharing and learning together!
