Renato @ Florida; I bought and started learning to play guitar about two years ago, a bit late in life (I am 39). Still a beginner, but motivated and inspired by Fil and other 'bedroom rockers'.
I've been posting a few videos here and sound bites on soundcloud, as sort of a logbook with snippets of how my playing (hopefully) evolves, and it may help inspire others who love music to take an instrument, practice, play, and have fun.
To contact me by email, my gmail.com username is the same as my username here.

Posted at 12:57h, 13 JuneGreat job there Ren, looking far more relaxed and it shows in your playing. I don’t check in as much these days but always like seeing your videos. Cheers Rob.

Posted at 16:21h, 13 JuneHey Rob, thanks – always a cheering word from you!
I’m not there yet, but now I’m becoming really aware of the difference it makes when you are relaxing and moving around π
Cheers!

rjofig
Posted at 10:07h, 10 JuneThanks, Ant! Yeah, I’m trying not to mind the mistakes too much, relax, let loose and move more.
The baked SG is fine, waiting for when I come back, this is a temporary Epi I bought while in Europe π
Cheers!
Ant
Posted at 10:22h, 10 Junelol you purchased a epi to carry on playing while away?
rjofig
Posted at 10:39h, 10 JuneYeah, we already came way over-packed; paying excess baggage and worrying that the guitar could break in the delicate hands of the baggage handlers unless I got a better case, I thought it’d be better to just buy a new Epi and try to sell it before I go back π
Ant
Posted at 11:16h, 10 Junehow long you been away? must of been a long time
is it a bolt on neck?
rjofig
Posted at 19:34h, 10 JuneClose to a year now, but it’s ending soon. Yeah, it’s a bolt-on. To me, the SG is much nicer, but the Epi is a good replacement for the time being π

Posted at 20:42h, 10 Juneyou sure thats a bolt on neck Ren? looks lke a g400 standard, those usually come with set necks
rjofig
Posted at 22:41h, 10 JuneRyley, you’re right, brain-fart here π
Ant
Posted at 00:57h, 11 Junelol Ren fail π
Seriously though almost a year! wow! I bet ur missing ur SG Standard..
rjofig
Posted at 10:09h, 11 JuneYeah, it’s been a great experience. I miss the SG, but the upside is, when I return, it’s like getting a new guitar all over again π
Ant
Posted at 10:46h, 11 JuneTure great feeling that is π bet fil has that feeling all the time ^^ look forward to your next performance Ren!

Posted at 23:59h, 09 JuneFar from making justice to this solo, but – I’m finally beginning to loosen up, and I haven’t posted a video in a while, so time to share π
