Hi, I'm Klara and I live in France. My username is derived from my real one, my main guitar ambition is becoming good enough to play with a friend who's quite an accomplished recorder player, my best guitar is the Faith Naked Mercury I bought three days ago which is also the reason I joined the forum and as to my #1 track - I don't have an all-time favorite piece of music because when I like one I hear it so often till I can't stand it anymore. If we are talking racetracks, it would be the one in Chateaubriant
