Why I'm Here

I’m an off-on-off-on intermediate player for many years.  I started in middle school, playing w/ a school ensemble, and then my interest waned during the ensuing several decades.  I picked it up again around 2004. I’m mostly self-taught and play by ear.  I’m most interested in learning folk/blues/pop songs from the 60’s and 70’s.  I am here at TAC to pick up on some skills and improve my playing.  I have tried flatpicking but I’m much better at fingerpicking.  I have played out occasionally at local bluegrass jams.  It’s a lot of fun! My favorite guitarists are Etta Baker, Libba Cotten, Joni Mitchell, Muriel Anderson, Mississippi John Hurt, and Jim Kweskin.
