New here, and new to guitar :)

Hey everyone! Just signed up recently after I learned about this site/school, of course I'm a huge Synyster fan, and I can't tell you how grateful I am that something like this exists! I tried self-teaching acoustic a while ago and it didn't go well, but my passion for learning and wanting to make music has never gone away. I'm a CVICU RN, as well as a freelance artist/illustrator. I'm always looking for new creative outlets since the ICU is a tough place and sometimes I need something more to focus my energy on. I'm a total beginner (I can restart your heart if it stops, but I can't play guitar yet to save my own life) so I would appreciate any advice/feedback as I go. I'm managing my expectations, so at this point if I can end up playing a really metal "Mary had a Little Lamb" I'll be happy. I'm looking forward to getting to know some of you!

WELCOME!!

being a cancer patient of the COOVID era and having Veno-Occlusive disease from the chemotherapy treatments I was in the ICU for at least two weeks, so I can say that the ICU is not a fun place. With that being said welcome again and I would see about doing row row your boat as well too!

Thank you! I'm so glad you got/are getting through all of that, it takes a hell of a tough person to handle it. Today is actually my one year liver transplant anniversary, I was born with Biliary atresia, so aside from being a nurse, I've become quite the hospital rat myself. That's a huge part of why I'm starting this, I feel like my life is beginning again and I want to make sure that my donor gave life to someone who's not going to take time and experience for granted. I'll keep learning and trying until the end. I wish you nothing but continued awesome health and happiness, thanks for saying hi! Row, row your boat is definitely on my list.
