Learned tenor banjo to start then found mandolin. Attended lots of traditional sessions to pick up northumbrian tunes and sets and the right rhythms.
Learnt to read dots and now attempt anything.
I have a good ear and like to change tunes' keys to suit a 'feel'.
I can chop or strum good accompaniments and will let loose solo parts when warned/advised.
I do what I am told.
I would like to play more chamber music with accompianists, guitar or piano keyboard.
