Why I'm Here | I played a little in my teens & 20s, but never seriously. About 40 years later, I’m retired and determined to become a ‘real’ guitar player. I’d like to be able to play all kinds of music, but my main focus these days is on jazz and bossa nova. I still have my first guitar, a 1965 Gibson J-50 dreadnaught, and a 1975 Les Paul Custom from my rock days. But the guitar I play every day and study on is a Cordoba Orchestra CE (Cedar top, Rosewood back & sides) – a nylon-sting ‘crossover’. |
City | I love music. It's a great joy to be able to make music and to be able to share it with others. The more I improve my technique, the better I can express myself and the more I have to share. But also… I feel like I failed myself by giving up the guitar all those years ago, and it's not too late to correct that error. |
My Guitar Goal
What I'm Focused On Now | Re-establish a consistent practice routine. Build strength & dexterity. Learn a few new songs. |
