Playing Guitar
Self taught average guitar player. I'm a lefty, which presented a problem when I expressed interest in playing guitar. Left handed guitars were quite scarce 40 years ago, so I had to make concessions by converting right handed guitars and accepting the discomforts of playability. I have been afforded a much better selection these days as left handed guitars are much readily available. I enjoy all forms of music so my interest in learning new pieces is always piqued.
Additional Information
I am a happily married husband of 35 years and father to a 35 year old son, 24 year old daughter and grandfather to a 12 year old granddaughter. I married my high school sweetheart after we dated for 3 years and consider my family as very important to me.
