Hello all,
None of you remember me, surely, but I remember this board. I used to post here regularly about 4 years ago. I was about 14 then, although I don't remember my old posting name.
I am writing this because I am now 18 and currently pursuing a degree in classical guitar and music composition at a major U.S. conservatory, and recognize that this would not have been possible without the contributions from many different people who helped me along the way. Family, friends, teachers, and... this forum.
This site contained the only guitar instructional material outside of a private lesson that I ever thought was helpful. Also, the people on the forums were very nice to me and also very encouraging. You have all had a role in my development as a player, and I therefore wish to thank every one of you for your help and guidance.
Although guitar will always be a big part of my life, you inspired me to make it my professional pursuit as well. Thank you and good luck!
With sincerest gratitude,
Kyle
That is about the best compliment a guitar forum can get.
Major kudos to GuitarNoise.com
I believe that calls for a toast.
Prost y'all (German toast)
It's the rock that gives the stream its music . . . and the stream that gives the rock its roll.

Very classy thing to do Kyle!
Another +1 from me too.
David and many others here have put countless hours into helping and inspiring others - and who knows how many have slipped quietly in and and out, 'refuelled', and continued on up the road.
Coming back and posting your progress and thanks was an admirable thing to do. Hats off to you, and all the very best with your career.
Cheers,
Chris

Would you by any chance be the Kyle who went to the National Guitar Workshop back in August 2004? Into metal, and jazz? And (sorry for embarrassing you, if it is you...!) knew how to pronounce Yngwie, but not how to spell it?
Anyway, nice to hear you're doing well - even nicer that you've come back after all this time to acknowledge the help you got. Classy!
:D :D :D
