Hello Gmcers.

My name is Victor and I live in Georgia, USA. I've been playing the guitar for a while now, self-taught, and I came to a sort of plateau where I wasn't progressing on any level. I've only been using the lessons here for two days, but I can tell I'm going to see some improvement. The first lesson I've been trying to do is David Wallimann's mode lesson. I've been working at it vigilantly and I have the ionian and dorian boxes down. I just started on the phrygian, but my wrist started to make odd popping noises while I was fretting up and down the scale.

I figured that was a good sign to take a break and introduce myself.

I'm a little on the low end, gear wise. I've got a cheap Danelectro guitar and a Fender bass amp. I have another amp, but it sounds really terrible so that's why I'm using the bass amp. I only have one pedal, and it's a Line6 Echo Park delay pedal. It's pretty cool, but I don't really know how to put it to good use.

So I guess I just wanted to say hello to everyone. Maybe you guys could even suggest a good lesson to do after the mode one? I've got the fundamentals down, I.e. chords/scales/other techniques. I can probably do level 3-4 lessons. So if there were any that you guys found particularly helpful or just fun to play, please let me know.

I hope to thrive here. It looks like a wonderful community.
