I think I started playing guitar because my best friend played guitar and drums. His drums were these cardboard snare-shaped things that he managed to make sound like drums.
My first guitar (Degas) cost $100 Cdn in 1975. I somehow learned to play it, not realizing there were such things as minor chords. I went to a catholic school that had money for religious education, but not for music. The guitar ended up in my sister’s garage for 20 years, along with the tuner and a crucifix or two.
Fast forward 20 years. My kids got a Casio keyboard for xmas. I commandeered it because it could make Pink Floyd-like sounds and I learned that it too had minor chords embedded in it.
Then I realized that the Casio’s keys lined up with the guitar fretboard. 20 years were wasted, but I haven’t looked back.
My daughters all can read music cuz they played in band in public elementary and public high school. They like a wide range of music, from classical to Taylor Swift, but can’t stand most rap stuff cuz of the awful lyrics that Frank Zappa fought for.
I wish I could read music. And that Frank was still with us.

I originally came from Tweakheadz site, bet there are some here who remember it.
I’m a Canadian born in Montreal but live in Ontario now.
I mostly play guitars and started playing back in 1976.
Yes, I sing with a deep, deep baritone but I still try to sing, thanks to Melodyne.
I’ve been a hobbyist for 20 years now.
I am mostly into rock but try to be avant garde with it.
Of the modern stuff, I really like Radiohead.
I don’t try to sell my work, it’s a little too “out there” (as am I), so I’m strictly a hobbyist although a Christmas song I did makes about $5 a year.
My goal would be to keep going into my 70s and 80s.
That’s it!
