Howdy ya’ll. I’m a beginner (about 3 months in) that is working in Afghanistan. I’ve got an ol’ Beuscher 400 that I’m practicing withand hopefully will make it sound the way it should, though it ain’t easy. I have a little time when off-duty to practice and have found this site instrumental (no pun intended) to bein’ able to make progress. I’m hopin’ to be a decent player (not great, nor good, but able to hold my own when jammin with whomever wants to) when I return to the states, in about 7 months… 😀
