Jim Marquard
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I've been playing guitar since I was 11, back in 1974. I have had training in classical guitar, though it has been years since I've played that type of music.
Your musical influences
I was raised on the Beatles and heavily influenced by them as well as Eric Clapton, David Gilmour, and, for acoustic guitar, John Denver. An odd combination of influences, but, so what.
