Hey everybody.  I'm Miles and I'm in Edmonton.  Pretty quite group (typical Canadians LOL).

I've been learning to play for the last 4 years.  The majority of my tutorials are online stuff (Youtube) and I did purchase the Gibson Learn and Master DVDs but I didn't get much past lesson 2.

I started taking lessons at my local Long and McQuade music school with a fella named Richard Monkman just before Christmas.  He's helped me focus my efforts and I can say that I've improved, but I still struggle with turning the sounds coming out of my guitar into music.

I was just wondering if there is anyone else on here from Edmonton?

Just discovered this forum pretty recently. I look forward to meeting folks and hearing new work. You can check out my music on my profile if you like.

Hey y'all ... I'm not a Canadian ... (South Carolinian actually, lol) ... but I play a Seagull guitar and I sort of lust after a Larivee. 

 

I consciously chose Seagull over a host of other guitars in the $500 range, and given the option, I might just choose a Larivee over a comparably priced Martin or Taylor.

 

Does that qualify me at all as an honorary Canadian?  Add that I now live in Raleigh, NC and we have a pretty solid NHL franchise in the Hurricanes. 

 

Anyway ... here I am.

 

PS:  My group is called "Seagull Spoken Here"  Would love to have some Canadians join!

I think everyone moved out of Canada....or they are not struggling with performing up here. I was wondering whether any of you guys use either tracks or special equipment as back-up when you perform. I see there is a new gizmo out now that might make that easier - the Boss Eband JS-8. Anyone use one?
