    Now that is a story in itself @bronhookyahoo-ca truth is I started young but work got in the way so I barely had time to practice. Then illness in my joints took over and I couldnt practice or play. Guess you could say the music was in me because my guitars collected dust but I wanted to sing and play. So I bought a 25 buck piano on clearance and played that until I could figure out a way to heal my hands. Medical system couldnt figure out my issue so I did tried an out the box fix did research applied natural repair used open C chord on guitar as my feedback when I could hold an open C without pain knew I had the right direction. Picked up the guitar and started playing again. Joined guitar teaching courses online courses once my internet connection would allow it. So about 4 years some chords cant use normal finger pos not enough down press. So that there is no buzzing. Got a real nice playing guitar in Nashville that almost plays like an electric. Still have buzzing with my Martin and 12 string but keep trying never give up one day I will play them cleanly again. Guitar any music you do is a Journey you will have ups and downs reward your self when you get small wins learn some finger pick patterns you like and flat pick patterns. Strumming patterns. I mix picking with strumming to fill the song dynamics more. Pick songs you like strum with guitar muted along side the original when you have the count 4 /4 3/ 4 6/ 8 then apply your vocals but above all make it fun enjoy your journey.
