I've been around a few times, but forgot to introduce myself. Name is Robert, i play Strats mostly, and I love blues, jazz, rock and improvisation.

I live in Alberta, Canada and I am a marathon runner as well. I teach guitar at the local music store too.

I also run a website devoted to free video lessons at www.dolphinstreet.com, although my day job makes it hard to be very productive in this area.

I love Fender amps, and I'm currently thinking about getting a Pro Junior, since I really like the tone of these little amps.

Cheers!

Hi, Robert.
It's funny, I have Dolphinstreet saved in my Favorites.
I think I saw you shredding through a Robben Ford 'Help The Poor'
sounding lead. If so, you rock.
What goes into that solo, scale-wise? I want to learn this. At my remedial
pace, any help would be most welcome.

Hey Rob welcome aboard,will be looking for some good post from you.

Welcome aboard the Fender Forums.

You will fit right in here Robert.

Gil

Thanks guys, well I am not sure if I recorded anything playing Help The Poor, I can't remember. I know the song though. Not sure how to answer your question. It's mostly Dorian mode, and the Alt. scale over the V chord, if I remember correctly?

I've got your website on my favorites as well. That's really cool that you are a member here. Thanks for dropping in!

Welcome Robert from Canada (though we won't hold that against you!). This is a good place and if you don't post photos of your stuff, we won't believe it exists! (j/k).
I just bookmarked your site and will definitely check it out.

Hi Robert - I'm glad you took my advice and joined, this is great site. I've been trying to players interested in 'online' jams, but they must not be interested.
