I've been playing guitar for almost 30 years.   I started when a Youth Pastor offered me free lessons, and from there learned from practical experience and some music theory classes in college.
I've always been in the worship team of whatever church I'm attending, and have been in my current worship band for the last 5 years.  I've also played in several cover bands back in the 90s, and was a member of a Christian rock band that might have had a shot had we been located in a more populated area.

I record using Cakewalk Sonar X1 Studio
