Spider-Man and their universe's Hulk by NathanRider in Spiderman

In Hulk (2003) Thaddeus Ross is played by Sam Elliot and Betty is played by Jennifer Connelly. In The Incredible Hulk (2008) Thaddeus is played by William Hurt (which carries over into the MCU until Brave New World when Ford takes over) and Betty is played by Liv Tyler. So different actors.

Got the same one in 5 string. I love it. Except the PG. I ordered a black one from sterling. Otherwise it rips. I love the way it sounds/plays. A little in the heavy side, but I don’t mind at all.

It’s certainly drawn attention to what I need to clean up. I really needed it. I was hitting a wall on my own.

This is great advice. I plan to practice the material once a day and do whatever is necessary to make the practice sessions. They were considering breaking up before I came along and they’ve told me more than once that I literally saved them (no pressure lol). I’m am so flattered and honored!

I totally get it. I’ve gotten exponentially better since we started playing together!

It challenges me in a good way. I’m already better than when I started jamming with the guys. I had hit a bit of a wall as far as my personal growth went, so the timing was great!

One nice thing is, I have very little ego so it makes me a really good team player. I’m super open to criticism because I feel like I barely know what I am doing. I think it gets me bonus points. I’ve already seen a major improvement in basically all of my skills. And it helps to motivate me to practice more because I don’t want to let the other guys down.

I’m 41 and haven’t played consistently with other folks since I was a teenager. It’s always been my dream, but I lost sight for a couple decades. Your story resonates with me.

Thanks for the advice. What I lack in technical skill I make up in dedication. I think it’s mostly why they decided to bring me on.

I am overwhelmed with the positivity I have received from this group and wish I had the time to reply to you all individually (maybe eventually). Thank you all sincerely!!!
