Hi guys, 

Heard good things about this forum and thought I'd join to chat to likeminded people. 

Q1:  Where did you username come from?

It's my name! 

Q2:  Where in the world/country are you?

Gloucestershire, England. 

Q3:  What's your main musical ambition?

To just keep improving at improvising and developing great fluency on the instrument. 

Q4:  Your "best" bit of gear - just the one?

1946 Gibson ES 300.  I love wondering what life it had before I owned it. The gigs it's done and the tales it could tell if it could talk! 

Q5:  Your #1 ever track - again, just the one?

Charlie Christian 'Swing to Bop' - easily my favourite ever guitar recording.

Q1:  Where did you username come from?

This band project that was more 'me', I registered the name last year on some internet band registry site; The aim for this is to be free artistically. I promoted nightclubs in Soho for a little while and befriended people and was me and my friends, who were predominantly lesbians (I think there was one other guy but he was gay - and me) and since I too like women, I ran around calling myself 'A Lesbian With A Penis' and... I didn't want to call my band Lesbian With A Penis so called it Lesbian With A Gun

Q2:  Where in the world/country are you?

Between my company's office in Soho in City of Westminster (where I also registered this solo band of mine) and my home in Thornton Heath, London Borough of Croydon

Not me or my photo, but that's my Pearly King (can't help but notice the pistols too for Thornton Heath) - Outside of what looks like Soho Original Books on Brewer Street (or somewhere if it's not Soho Original Books).

@axel57 - welcome to theFretBoard.

The best section for your projects is the Playing section, perhaps under "MAking Music" or "Theory" or "Technique" depending on the content and purpose of your YouTube channel.
