Hi. I am Erion (air-ree-on). I live in South Wales (UK), just outside Cardiff. When I was 10, I went to music school for 4 years, where I learnt to play the oboe and some basic piano. I’ve loved music eversince and I’ve often asked myself what would have happened if I had continued the music path. I’ve been working in IT for the last 20 years and I’m now a cybersecurity consultant.
I taught myself how to play guitar when I was a teenager, and played occasionally for fun, just strumming along songs I liked.
2 years ago I picked up the electric guitar and decided I was going to learn to play it properly. I started with an old Ibanez Gio that my wife had gifted me a long time ago, and then moved to a Fender Player Strat. Since then, I’ve been playing guitar almost every single day for about 1hr, and I’m happy with the progress. I’ve added a Hagstrom Viking (ES-335 style guitar) to my collection this year.
I’ve been following @JustinGuitar for over 1 year now, and I’ve benefited massively from the free material on the website. I’ve completed the courses from grade 1 to 4, and I’m half way through the music theory one. My goal is to get very good at playing the guitar, and maybe even join a band at some point.
I’ve grown very fond of the Blues, which led me to enrol to BLIM 3. I would like to be confident in improvisation, but I’m also aware that I need to improve my technique. My favourite Blues artists are many, but Eric Clapton and Roy Buchanan lead the list.
, I have seen you play ,not a professional band right now , but if there is a nice group for your level or a bit up that is still oke (and at any level we can form bands ) that you can form and play with and , then growth will really start fast…
