Hi!

I'm Gilles and I have just signed up. I'm a 43 year-old Frenchman and I have lived in the UK since 1990, where I work as Head of Languages in a private school for girls.

I received my first Fender guitar only a couple of hours ago (a black Mexican Telecaster w/ maple neck). I'm very much an intermediate player; you know, the sort of guy with arthritic fingers who can play a half decent guitar line once then can't do it again no matter how hard he tries! I'm actually a keyboard player but got an average SG copy about a year ago, which I promptly sold to get an excellent LP copy of the same brand. As I fancied a little twang, I got myself the Telecaster and was converted instantly.

As well as the LP copy and the Telecaster, I use a 'cheap' Behringer X V-Amp FX unit and a Marshall Valvestate 8080 amp.

I am hoping to learn a lot from this forum!

Gilles
