hello all, I'm carp3nt3r .

[carp3nt3r]

I am happy to have found robert's site and this forum and I feel fortunate that I was allowed to join. I am a beginner to guitar to some degree, as I fumbled around with it a bit in my younger days and have recently decided to pick it up and try some more.
I have a cheepie guitar and amp for now and dont look for that to change much anytime soon. I enjoy some of all kinds of music except i really cannot tolerate hearing the headbanging metal.
I have many hobbies and interests, hunt fish brew snorkel electronics .
I am the proud father of 3 sons, ages 18 14 and 9. I am a very capable carpenter/remodeler .
I am most impressed with the music of stevie ray vaughan , hendrix,george thorogood, clapton,mark knoffler, ventures, zztop,van halen, and more.
I am sorry if some of you drifted off to sleep while reading about my exciting life, i will try to keep things a little shorter in the future. if ive left out anything important ,be sure to ask me. i am looking forward to reading the posts on this forum, carp3nt3r.

Welcome Carp3nt3r.... everyone is welcome here at the fret net! I might ask you a few carpenter questions, since I am planning to renovate the kitchen

Welcome Carp. (hope you don't mind but it's easy to type. Nothing personal)

Carpenters that can brew snorkel electronics are certainly welcome around here.

I know you are going to get it sooner or later...but...lets see some carpentry pics. Man it looks like you got your hands full with those young boys too.

Welcome, carp3nt3r! There's something for players of all skill levels here, and lots of experienced, talented guys to learn from. That's a good list of "idol" guitarists you mentioned, esp. that first one! R

Welcome Carpenter, I bet you could make some great speaker cabinets!

We are glad you joined us, and yes the Ventures were a cool band. I saw Nokie Edwards here live a couple of years ago, with Albert Lee and Johnny Hiland. Man, what a tone that guy had!

Thank you all for a warm welcome and thank you to robert for his website with the video lessons, it provides confidence building within learning the riffs.
keep up the good work robert !! I for one will be checking there daily. I am glad to see SRV finally getting the acclaims he deserved for so long, although a lot of tunes he did were not original compositions, he didnt do them like anyone else. He was pure talent. As to pictures of my work, ill post a few here and there-and free advice for folks interested in doing it themselves and saving a buck or two, if i can help you i will. btw, my list of musicians i admire is not even close to complete, there are lots more that i enjoy.
Thanks for making a ol' carp3nt3tr feel welcome . carp3nt3r.


p.s. yes i do know all the magic carpenter words.i will refrain from that here tho.
