Newb Guitarist!

Post by Elemeno P »

A quick Howdy from a just starting out guitarist.

I got a great deal on a new Tribute and working hard to live up to the G&L legacy.

Throw any tips or words of wisdom at me. I'm a sponge right now.

Welcome! :wave:

Definitely check out the sub-forums here and on the G&L Knowledgebase.

Do post a picture of your Tribute Legacy. Some here require it as proof of it's existence. ;)

This guitar is beautiful. And with the USA pickups you are going to get
a very good sound out of the guitar that will record well in arrangements
with other tracks of a song or in a band!

It is amazing how a G&L makes practice more fun, more attractive, and more satisfying; my guitar arrived Monday morning, and I've practiced at least a dozen times since then. It takes 10 or 15 minutes for me to set up my rig (I have to keep equipment safe from cats), but I find myself doing that just to steal 20 minutes for practice.

Things should get much better when my isolation transformer arrives on Wednesday...goodbye ground loop!

By the way, I'm a newb myself.

Thanks everyone!!

Now after looking at all the great guitars on this site, my motivation other than just to play guitar is to get better to get the Wifey to buy me another one. :lol:

Pre GAS.... Man, it hits a guy early... I know no way to stop it from becoming full blown GAS.
