I started playing in high school, about 25 years ago. Used to play quite a bit until about 5 years ago when an accident at work cost me half of my ring finger on my left hand. I do miss playing. Every now and then the urge hits me strong and I pick it up and tinker around with it but thats about all i can do now. :(

I just started some lessons two weeks ago in hopes that someone can help me clean up my playing a little and fill in some of the gaps. I mostly use it to unwind at the end of the day. Don't really have any aspirations of entertaining any one.


I heard someone the other day who called it "mathematically precise noise"

Guitar, Sax, and drums not so well. Also like the tech stuff, and have run sound for people like Joe Diffey, Diamond Rio, Clarence Carter, and Marvelous Marvin Sease...

ran sound for these guys for a couple of years

I pick a little.....very little the last 10 years...but more often now as the kids get a kick out of daddy playin'.... I'm down to a Couple of Gibson's now (Les Paul and a Les Paul Jr. that is kind of unique, it has a Steinberger trem on it) and a Seagull 12 string....the Seagull gets the lions share of the use cause I sold my amps years ago.....

I play the banjo too...along with the mandolin...does that count as different?

I've been playing for about 3 years. I have a Gibson Les Paul and a Ibanez acoustic/electric. I prefer the electric (loud!) because the noise I make definitely sounds better at higher volumes.

It's been quite an addictive hobby. I just wish I had more time to play.
