    Hi Everyone, my name is Kris and im new to IG. I hope to accomplish a lot here because, fankly ive been playing guitar for 10 years going on 11 and im only 17. Problem is, out of those 11 years playing ive always self taught myself which hasnt really worked out for the best. I hope to learn how to play like one of my favorite guitar players, Joe Satriani, because i love the way he improvises, and thats one of the main things i want to learn. I dont really understand how improvising works, but it seems really complicated how people can come up with something off the top of their head and put it on guitar. Its something ive been wanting to learn for a long time and i hope that by purchasing premium membership that i will accomplish that goal along with many others.

    Thanks for the compliment lol and i play a jackson. its not the best guitar in the world and i didnt really pick it, i just got it when i was 9 as a gift from a rich friend i use to have but he moved away. its all i have but its something =) i dont have any amps but i play anyway. since i never really was taught i learned intermediat stuff and bigginer stuff in all sorts of wierd orders kinda like learning how to tap befor you ever learn how to play a chord. so because of this i dont know at what level i am or if im doing stuff right. ive watched a lot of videos on here since i joined and sometimes i still get confused but i try to put logic in between and have a reason to do something when i dont know what the real reason is. I just learned the 5 pentatonic scales yesterday in about mmm an hour or so and ive been practicing trying to know where they all are so i dont have to stay in the “box” and stuff because i want to learn how to improvise but i dont really even have a solid foundation because everything i learned was mainly off of youtube, some randome website or off of guitar tablature. So i really dont know where i stand. i will be on all day so if you got any suggestions or comment feel free =) i will do my best to do better.
