    I've played for about 13 years now. I have a standard telecaster, a reissue of a 56 Danelectro U2, and my first guitar, a 92 Squier Strat. Also an acoustic electric Epiphone PR5-E.
    The catch is that I'm left handed.

    I taught myself for the most part. Took a few lessons at the beginning, but all this guy wanted to teach me were cover songs.
    I think if you come from a musical background when you're young, you can teach yourself more easily. I played trombone for 3 years in jr. high and I was also in the choir when I was in private school. Started listening to stuff like The Cure, Depeche Mode, The Smiths, New Order, etc. when I was in the 4th grade - that all had a big impact on what I wanted to hear come out of my guitar when I started playing.

    Love playing guitar/singing/being on stage with my band or by myself more than just abou anything in the world.
    For those of you who have never been to my band's site, it's here: http://www.theatlanticdivide.com… Songs are in the music section.
