This looks like a good place for my first post on the forum.

I am 59. I played Guitar when I was younger but never too seriously. I got my old ibanez steel string down from the cupboard and started on GT last year and loved it. My wife thought I was crazy when I wanted an Electric guitar for Christmas but I bought myself an Epiphone ES 339. It is a sweet guitar.

I like being able to learn whole songs from GT. But the one thing that has really got me pumped is the ability to play those songs along with backing tracks. I don't know if anyone else does this but I wanted to share the site I found where I can buy backing tracks to use at home. They cost me a few Australian Dollars and I can customise it to take out the guitar track so it is like I am playing in the band. A couple of my favorites at the moment are TNT and No Rain by Blind Melon. Two songs I learnt on GT but play along with my band. The great thing is that they have volcals because I can't sing!

The site is https://www.karaoke-version.com/custombackingtrack/

This whole online thing is making the journey so much better than when I was younger.

Cheers
