Hi all,

I'm Evan, an all-around nerd. While I was camping with some viking re-enactors, I realized that I was wishing I was able to add to the group's music with more than just slapping my hand on my thigh. So, the next year I started teaching myself to fiddle using OAIM, a traditional Irish music education resource. I've spent a few years learning the fiddle, and picked up a bit of the mandolin family of instruments as well (they're all tuned in 5ths like a fiddle, which means the fingerings are largely the same as a fiddle). I also love guitar, and I used some tutorials to teach myself the very basics of classical guitar, since I very much love the sound of solo guitar pieces (and those sweet sweet nylon strings), but I decided I wanted to learn a bit more of a contemporary style that would be suited to accompaniment as well. So here I am, ready to learn, and eager to progress (for as long as the ADHD lets me).
