I quit smoking 3 years back but of late, I've been smoking 1 or 2 a day, especially after a drink.

I love "The Loner" by Gary Moore. That one has a lot off feelings

My auto updates are turned off. Some of the patches that come out can have undesirable effects on your PC. The important things is to keep your anti-virus defintion files update. Yes, the IE 7 do have issues and I think it's best to stay away until others have gone though the testing phase.

Rarely drink coffee.

I'm quite healthy for my age too, probably look about 5 years younger. Fortunately, I don't have the usual ailments that catch with guys in their mid 40s. Maybe a few extra pounds, thats all. Work out for about 4 months and take a break and get at it again. Yeah, you're right, playing the guitar...

No point forcing yourself to play something you don't enjoy. I've had the same problem and was honest about it.

How about "The Banned" :)

Welcome to the fretters forum Johnny. You've been playing guitar since you were 10 and yet you say you're not an expert in music. Okay, now you're being modest ;) Ps. How come no one mentioned GAS to Johnny? :p

Guess I only look at this and say "Neat" :) As for attempting sweep picking, I guess I'll never be able to do that. But hey, I'm happy when I get comments on my finger picking style on youtube.

I always wanted to grow my hair but could never do that. Since a couple of months I'm letting it grow and will eventually have to trim it if my boss notices something wrong. I'm hoping he'd let me do it :)

Welcome to the forum Janarm. I'm from Oman in the Middle East.

Nice :) Reminds me of Mark Knopler

Merry Christmas everyone :)

man, that's a wicked gadget. Imagine what you can do with it.

Glad to have you on board Jason. I guess you've heard it from veterans here about GAS and other possible communicable diseases :D I've heard the saying "You can't teach an old dog new tricks". Wonder who came up with that crazy notion :o Have fun
