Hello from Mission, BC, Canada
I used this site often over the past year, researching a guitar I wanted to buy, learning all things Tele, Fender, etc.
Now I have finally purchased the Tele (2011 60th Anniversary Lefty), I wanted to join the group; it seems like such a friendly, helpful forum. Now I just need to relearn what I knew in high school, and hopefully progress into the Blues once my fingers feel more agile and comfortable! I actually bought the guitar so I could play with my two sons, who are already kicking my butt at 10 and 12 years of age! (Also, for those fathers out there: a great excuse for buying a nice guitar is one's children. Works for mountain bikes and golf clubs too! Shameless, I know, but it works.) Steve P.S. My avatar is not meant to be offensive; I just like the idea of one of the Tele's great proponents - and, against all odds, one of the longest living ones - fingering the universe, as if to say, "I'm still alive; the joke's on you!" S. |

Sorry, I just read your profile below your avatar. I wish I had joined the forum before going to Kelowna, so I could get a good recommendation from you for music shops. I must say, you definitely live in one of the most beautiful climates in the world! I can never get enough of the OK. My other expensive hobbies all work for that area, too: DH mountain biking, flyfishing, and golfing!

If you are passing through Kelowna, stop at Wentworth Music. They have a wall of Teles!

Welcome! Love BC - lived in Abbotsford for 9 years! Best province in Canada - so diverse in weather and geography!
Being a sucker for punishment, I moved home to Newfoundland..... :) J5 |

Welcome - a mission person and a lefty guitar player to boot! Not enough of us lefties
Same boat as you - trying to relearn everything I used to know but I realize now I sucked then and haven't progressed beyond that.  My kids are still a little to young to use the same excuses for purchases that benefit me- damn. So far I have found all the folks here pretty helpful and friendly. |
