Hi
I'm Richard. Retired teacher. Hoping there are other inept guitar players on here enjoying the pain. First started learning guitar in the 70s, played bass badly for a bit then gave up for about 40 years. Eighteenth months ago bought a cheap strat copy and amp and became hooked once again.

Q1: My username came from Stephen King's novel "IT" and is one of the names used to refer to Pennywise. Been using the name for years now!
Q2: I'm in Falkirk, Scotland.
Q3: Bit of an odd one this as I'm a cellist that would like to continue improving my skills, but I've always wanted to learn to play guitar too.

I'd really like to become comfortably proficient with the guitar. Right now, I know which way up to hold it
