    Pretty low traffic here.

    I'll start lurking and see how it goes.

    BTW, I'm a beginner, live in Spain and have been following the Woodshed programme:

    https://www.classicalguitarshed.com/ws-home/

    Anyone else hereabouts following it?

    Like most of usenet, this group is a shell of its former self (one
    exception on usenet is the rec.music.classical.recordings, which is
    smaller than it was, but still has a fairly large participation on a
    daily basis). A very few folks have migrated over to the CGML group on
    FB, although that is mostly descended from the old "eskimo" or yahoo
    groups. There are however lots of the old folks on FB, and many of them
    have connected--including many of the well-known players.

    I'm a usenet dinosaur. Most groups have pretty much gone now. The only group that I'm
    subscribed to that remains quite active is alt.usage.english. And most of the traffic
    there is dross. The UK motorcycle group that I was active in from the 90s has now pretty
    much migrated to FB.

    It would be nice to think there are still unmoderated text-only groups for stuff like
    this. The only other guitar group that I participate in is the FB woodshed group. But it's
    FB and likely to remain that way. I tried to persuade them to launch their own forum, but
    FB is just too easy.

    Anyway, I'm Paul and I'm an al..., oh never mind.

    I promise I'm neither troll nor sock-puppet.

    Me too. I think I started around 1995

    Same for my list of subscribed groups.

    I just mentioned this group to them. Let's see if hourdes of ageing
    guitar learners start pouring into here :-)

    I'm not holding my breath.



    I still check in here to see what’s happening. There are some other experienced players and listeners who check in too, so I’m sure that a question that older, experienced players or listeners would know the answer
    to will get a good answer here.

    I go back a few years as well, and I check in regularly although contribute little. Still, if an interesting topic or question came up that I felt I had some experience with I would def. join in.

    Here are some topics I feel I could contribute to easily:

    - Causing ugly damage to a brand new guitar just minutes after receiving it.

    - Spending pant-loads of money on guitars and.....well that's it right there am I right!?!?

    - Anything Charo related!

    Welcome!
