Hey Tom, welcome to the forum! I would suggest to start with either MILD or WILD (with or without WBTB). Check out all the sticky topics here about these techniques and make your choice, depending on what you like best. Just remember that in general WILD is pretty hard for a beginner (for a pro sometimes even). Good luck! ---

Thanks for the reply man, i’ll check out the topics and see what method appeals to me most, cheers.
