The 1st Time I picked up a Guitar {6-String} with intent to learn to play was December 15, 2021.

As of December 14, 2024... I have 1,480 hours on mostly Lead or Rhythm & 17% of that total was Bass. Learning Bass started in July 2023. I play as much as possible daily. I've only missed 2 Days in 3 Years & I was not happy about it.

I am proof that music can calm at least some savage beasts. I'm not a pro or even close. I won't tell anybody that I'm an amazing guitarist. I'm getting better by the day but I'm still FNG of Guitars.

I keep these to study the music & monitor my progress. I started posting them as the easiest way to send to friends. Maybe it'll inspire another to learn. Maybe I get helpful advice from a more skilled guitarist passing by. In reality, why not?

My Go-To is Power Metal but here, this is practice. I will play anything I can stand to listen to, if I'm capable. Practice Is Practice after all.

I am Erik & Northman is a call sign ... Norðrljós is my Guitar
