Started playing music at age 12 in my school brass band. Learned to read music and gained a good foundation in musical theory. Played bass in a few garage bands up until my mid twenties before life got in the way. Since then I've mainly been playing 6 string for my own amusement, but have been practicing fairly regularly over the past 3 years or so. Looking for people to jam with and have a bit of fun mainly, but a bit of gigging would be nice too.
