Thank you for the kindness in welcoming me to Guitar Gathering. I am not familiar with the sight but excited to learn all I can. Hello Mantonanjin!

@SRV let me get back to you with a couple suggestions. But first off, most importantly, yes, Steve does provide Zoom lessons. I'm sure he would be pleased to discuss it with you. The best way to contact him is here via pm. I took some with him, both face to face and by SKYPE, and they were great. Hugely helpful. If you have any difficulty reaching him, let me know.

@SRV, definitely me. Guilty as charged. You and I compared notes about our respective back issues, surgeries, spinal cord stimulator, etc. Speaking of which, to bring you up to date, I tried and they removed my Nevro. I think this is where we were at when we last spoke. Since then, they trialed the Medtronic with equally disappointing results. I am now getting about 2 hours of pain relief in the morning and again in the afternoon with meds. The rest of the time I'm horizontal. A week from Thursday I'm going into the OR and they're trying a radial ablation of L5 S1. Hope springs eternal.
What about you? Where are you at in this?

You are very welcome, @SRV. I am just paying forward the way I was received upon arriving here. Ask questions whenever you have them. And keep us posted on your progress, please.

Hello Guitar Enthusiasts! I am retired and want to develop the daily habit of playing my guitar. I am building up motivation to start the L&M course (again) especially with the onset of 2020. This is a big Bucket List Item for me. I have always loved music. Especially folk-type rock, which would be great to strum to as I hopefully progress! On this forum, I am looking forward to some encouragement, as I will be lending encouraging words to all as well!

Brian, you obviously like Peter Green. You might want to look at this month's Guitar Techniques magazine. The cover article is about Mr. Green. I actually haven't studied the article but it looks interesting. And your being in the UK it isn't as expensive as it is for us here in the US!

I saw him (Peter Green) on a YT video with Santana playing Black Magic Woman. It was sad. He looked incoherent. A really sad occurrence what that "trip" did to him. I hope to learn to play his Supernatural one day.
Glad you like the article. I think Guitar Techniques is the only magazine worth subscribing to. But, yes, I have so many piles of learning materials that I will never get to it's embarrassing. Including back issues of GT. I am currently working their article on the Blues Scale from December.

Dang, I forgot about my own link!!!!!
I was going to listen to it and record the Wes Montgomery show and my wife got home, we had dinner, settled in in front of the TV and I complete forgot about it!
I really like Guitar Techniques. A great magazine of lessons without all the hype and silliness and advertising of other magazines. It's obscenely expensive for us here in the US but I think worth it. I subscribe to it and Premier magazine and I'm going to let the Premier subscription lapse. Let me know what you think of the Peter Green article.

Thank you. This seems to help. How did you do it.

Tony,
I loaded it into Photoshop. Your original file was 1200 pixels wide by 1800 pixels tall @72 pixels per inch. It was a 1.2 MB file. The forum won't allow a file that large uploaded anyway but if it did the picture would take up 25 inches of display at the 72p/i! Most users of the internet today have monitors that can handle 92 pixels per inch so that is what I tend to save as. So I resized it to 92 and 800 tall x 600 wide. That is going to be a nice size for display on the forum. Actually that is a little too big, 8 almost 9 inches tall, but still ok. I should have made it about 6 inches tall. The file is now about 400 KB.When are you going to show the world? We need a NGD post like the one I just did. If you don't, I will have no choice but to delete your membership

Did you get the picture of the new LP resized? Want to send it to me? We want to see that new axe!!!

I'm going to see if can post a picture of my new Les Paul soon. My tablet seems to be over max total size. Not sure how to fix it.
-
Tony, without looking I don't know what the size restrictions are on here. But you'll need to load your file into a phot editor and resize it. For posting I usually resize to 92 ppi and 600 to 800 pixels maximum on the longest side. If all else fails you can send it to me and I'm happy to resize for you.

So BluzCruz how did you get your username? I assume it represents "Blues Cruise". As in "Keeping the Blues Alive at Sea" Cruise? Have you been on it or a different blues cruise? Are you going this year? Dan Brown from L&MG and his wife and my wife and I are going next month.

Ron; Steve's Looper video is very good... Also, if you look under the video's of Tips of the Pros, you'll find a lesson there too... (taken from YouTube)
