After 20 years in the shadow of Chicago, I'm back in NC (where I grew up) and very out of my element. I didn't grow up in this part of NC, but hey, Asheveille is close and it seems pretty cool. Anyway, long time stalker of this board and I've stolen many a chord sheet from the tabs pages over a few years now.
Started playing guitar at 51 years, about two and a half years ago. I try to play something every day and I've gotten really good at the little bit I know. All I know, however, are a few basic chords. I have a Fender DG-7 and a First Act Volkswagen model electric. I just bought my first amp, a Peavey Vypyr VIP 1 modeling amp. I started playing as a result of the Rocksmith video game and have ditched that for a self taught approach.
I could use help, everywhere, especially making sense of all the effects options my new toy has. It has a good clean sound and I'm using that the most, but it has a ton of dirty sounds and I'm having trouble figuring out what to do with any of them; what sounds good with what, etc. More than anything I'm looking for jam sessions with other newbs, but that seems a stretch. Anyway, any tips or advice greatly appreciated. I'll keep at it.
