Took up the guitar at 45, but had played the flute and piano as a child and throughout high school. I am big supporter of music programs in school because of the benefits I got from my music education. I have a teacher and started with Guitar Tricks last November. I love learning and actually performed a guitar duet with my thirteen year old son of the song Cielito Lindo in an International Show. I guess you could say it was my first gig.
