Why I'm Here

I’ve been playing acoustic for 25+ years, but never really focused on the guitar other than as an accompaniment to my singing and songwriting.  This challenge will be the first lessons I’ve ever taken and I am excited to see where they lead me.  My main acoustic is a Zager ZAD-80 with rosewood back and cedar top.  Love this guitar and the ease of play it has.  Secondary acoustic is my Epiphone EP-J200, a jumbo with maple back and spruce top.  Great strumming guitar.  My electrics are a Gibson Nighthawk, which was Gibsons attempt to make a hybrid between a Strat and a Les Paul.  I also have a Squier Telecaster.  I don’t play much electric though.

I've always really loved acoustic only songs and always wanted to play like that but never would commit the time and effort to practice and learn the techniques.  This acoustic challenge seems like a perfect way to start practicing and learning daily and allowing me to get to the freedom and skill to play like I've always wanted to and know I can.
