Hello there!!
I just discovered your YouTube channel last night and was BLOWN away. The mod for the live stream suggested I come over here and here I am!!
I'm in Southern New Jersey, and have been playing for almost 30 years. Had a band in college, blah, blah, blah, thought I might try to become a pro musician, but settled on a professional career instead. School, wife, kids, house, work 6 days a week, but am happy. Get to play my guitar a lot more than ever now that the kids are a bit older.
I was a purely digital guy for almost a decade (Axe Fx II) but sold everything I had except my #1 Strat, and started from scratch with all analog gear. It's been refreshing to break away from the modeling realm and has really pushed me to play more than tweak. IT got to the point where I was turning knobs on the Axe Fx II more than playing my guitar, and that was making me grumpy, LOL.
I also recently started a YouTube channel "Old Guy's Guitar Vlog" and am having a blast with it. Am I allowed to post links to the vids I make? I know some forums frown on doing that, so please let me know if that's allowed here.
Thanks again for inviting me to the forum and I can't wait to start watching some of the back log of vids on YouTube!
