Hey guys, just wanted to introduce myself and say what a great board this is. I've been lurking around a couple weeks trying to learn a little.Seems like there are some knowledgable as well as dedicated guitar folks here. I had just recently rekindled my desire to learn to play again.I fooled around with guitar as a teenager but unfortuneatly didn't stick with it.Recently after a little look back on life self evaluation,"birthdays in mid 30's make you do that kinda stuff", I realized one of my biggest regrets in life was not getting proficient playing the guitar. So I earnestly wanted to learn and loving 80's type metal and "hair" rock bands I found myself wanting a Jackson.Though I am basically just a novice I have got to play around with several different guitars and When I picked up a Jacson at a local music store I fell in love with it. After seeing the great deals Matt had at Online I finally broke down and ordered one yesterday. I debated anguishly between the dkmgt and the dxmg. I went with the dxmg in black. But it has been really nice to read this forum and at least get an ideal what I was lloking for. Matt at Online seems like a good guy and I really hated to hear he wasn't going to be able to sell Jacksons anymore. I wish him the best of luck with whatever he sells in the future.

I may be a bit younger, but my story is very similar. I quit my last band long ago, but I've always wanted to be able to shred, so that's what I'm shooting for. It would be a bit of a personal accomplishment. =) Welcome to the boards!

Re: newbie to board
I'm with you, Mountain Dave -- just started a couple years ago myself. Now guitars are my obsession -- playing em, looking at em, buying em, thinking about buying em, etc.
This is a great forum. None of that teenybopper "you're a jerk"/"no, you're a jerk" crap. Just guitars and metal. Along with the occasional plump e-bay chick thrown in for good measure.
Welcome to the fun.Comment
