I'm Shannon, from Toronto. I'm hear because my wife is awesome. Last year, I bought her a leather jacket for her birthday and on our way home we got caught in a brutal rain storm. We were across the road from a music store and so we went in. I had been going on for about a year about how much I wanted to play again. I fully intended to just tool around for a bit, but we ended up with a Squier P-Bass starter kit. I started playing around with some tab books, online tabs and a resource I haven't heard anyone here mention, songsterr. It's a great tool - I highly recommend it. Anyway, I got bored a bit, so I demoed RS. Liked it and bought it and 14 when steam had the fall sale. Found smithy's, was digging the customs, but then I don't know what happened but there was some real negativity going on. I left the site around the time, CF was announced and focused on Bandfuse, which sadly died, but was great in it's own way. (Not trying to start a flame war, but I do prefer the tones in BF). I just came back to RS about 2 weeks ago and decided to check the customs out again. So here I am. My goal is to get up at a local bar's open jam and play 2 or 3 songs in the next few weeks.
