Started to play at around 16. Took two lessons and went from there. Played with friends from 16 to about 25 (not having any idea what I was doing, just copying what I could). From 25 until 52 always had a guitar around, but played a couple times per year at most. Now in my mid 50's I have decided it's time to learn to do what I loved so long ago, and now that I have the free time to do so I have no reason not to. What I have discovered over the past few years since I started playing again, is that I have learned a lot of BAD habits over the years, that mostly hold me back. I am dedicated and focused to be the player I know I am capable of being. I'm in Montreal, QC. currently.
