I started playing guitar about around 11 years old (taught myself), then started writing songs using existing chord progressions. Toured with my high school choir (singing my own folk songs) around 14 or 15. Had to give up guitar a few years ago, broke my heart, due to carpal tunnel. Then got a little Martin & took a few guitar lessons to learn to play with a pick - now I gig regularly, playing bluegrass & folk. Took me awhile to work up to being able to play for a couple hours, but the little Martin is a dream to play and I can even fingerpick the odd ballad as long as I don't push it. Just got myself a baritone ukulele for fun, also have a mandolin & have had a few lessons.
