I have been playing guitar since 1970 after my brother bought me my first guitar, a Monaro electric, for Christmas in 1969. I started lessons in February 1970 and the rest is history, well almost. I've been teaching guitar since 1973. In 1981 I recorded a mainly instrumental album, "Take Your Pick", releasing it independently in 1982 on vinyl and cassette (remember those?). I sold less than 100 and never paid off the cost of recording it! :-( I continue to compose and have accumulated many instrumentals which I will record one day and upload here.
