Greetings from Las Vegas/Reno


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

I thought I would introduce myself.  My name is Reid, and I have been playing guitar for 18 years, in pretty much all styles including jazz and classical. I graduated from Berklee College Of Music in 2011 with a degree in Music Production and Engineering, and most recently have worked as a composer and sound designer for casino games.

I have been a fan of this forum for years now, but never made an account until now. It is nice to virtually meet all of you!

Here is my most recent YouTube video (Bach Sonata for

Solo Violin No.1 in G minor 4. Presto):

 

I play classical, nylon string guitar as well and am planning on uploading some of those videos soon. I am a big fan of Barrios, Tarrega, Villa-Lobos, and many others.

Again, nice to meet you all!
Reid

Welcome aboard the forum and nice to have you here to.  Nice playing on the video. Wish I could play that fast. Arthritis in the fingers, Lol.  Most people here are older but it ranges from young too old.  great guitar to.

Thanks Retired.  Sorry about the arthritis.  Arthritis runs in my family, so I am not looking forward to that day.

Unfortunately, it runs in my family too. Then I had a brain tumor cancer which I shouldn't have lived through 32 years ago, so I was their experiment back in 88,  They hit me with everything they had and told me I would get Arthritis at an early age.  So guess I got hit with a double whammy. Mostly its just my pinky fingers for now, so I have to cheat playing.  It works, just can't play too long. I'm blessed, I have seen people having to play with their toes.
