Hi

Hi guys and gals if there are any,

My name is Siddharth. I hail from India. I'm 26 years old. I'm unemployed and prefer to be that way. However recently I took up a job for one month as a music teacher in a local day care. I had to guide students through nursery rhymes teaching mostly on the keyboard. That I can do. But the truth is I don't know music. I mean I've got a pretty good fingering on the guitar, not like a beginner. But I'm still a beginner. I just know 4 easy songs that I learnt for Trinity Guildhall music exams. My total playing time of all the songs I know last for only 3 minutes and 45 seconds if played up to speed.

Anyway, I have an Ibanez RG 370 DX - BK, in black, and I've a schecter hell raiser which has a great tone due to the mahogany, but it has a lousy *ed up warped neck., I have a local make of an amplifier, that's 20W and can amplify mic, keyboard or guitar. It's solid state. I have an acoustic guitar of a local make too.

I tend to spend more time looking at guitars and gear reviews than actually playing guitar. It's a bad habit of mine. I seldom pick up the guitar and play it. My Yamaha keyboard has had it's dust cover on for months.

I'm just a lazy unemployed loser. But hey! Everybody has to start from somewhere, don't they?

Thank you for reading. If you've made it this far, then much like me, you must not have much else to do. Ha ha ha.

Please do comment on this post.

Thanking you sincerely,
Siddharth.

Oic. That would explain why no one has replied after viewing this post in the evening too, huh? :-)

Glad you voted no, but me and one person actually voted yes. LOL!

Teaching music at a day care and some votes you suck? Tough crowd. As far as guitar, hang in there and keep learning!

I vote no, you don't suck. BECAUSE...you have a Schecter first of all, and they're one of my favorite guitars. And you have an Ibanez, which I'm not as wild about, but I apreciate the folks who play them and coax great sound out of them. So no, in my opinion, you do not suck.

Hi Siddharth and welcome to TGP.

Everybody sucks for some people and is cool for others.

What we all try to achieve is having balance toward cool side but we'll never be 100% cool

Keep on playing guitar
