BIO
My first real memory of crying was at age four because the Carpenters blue plastic 8-track tape broke while I was at school. I started up music lessons around that time, and fiddled around with that until well into college, never really mastering anything.
I never connected with an instrument creatively until I started playing the guitar, about 10.5 years ago. I hate telling people how long I've played because it sounds more like I've been playing about 3 years. I've gone for long periods without playing, so I guess it's ok.
I like recording and messing around with production ideas/bgvs/the like. Right now what I record sounds like poop in a can, but the ideas are there in my mind. Oh well.
RECORDING
Right now, into a Samson condenser USB-cabled mic, hooked up to my little brother's computer, which runs the Audacity program. it's very rudimentary, but it gets the job done.
INSTRUMENTS
Alvarez PF90C, which is a retired acoustic/electric, slightly larger than a parlour body size with a single cutaway. I use Elixer custom light strings exclusively, along with white, .46 mm Jim Dunlop nylon plectrums. (ha! I said plectrum! I'm much a nerd!) I've had this guitar for just about 10 years exactly now, and it has a couple of cracks and some chipped finish here and there, but it sounds better today than it ever has.

I like 'plectrum'.
In fact I like it so much that
I created a new word with it.
You see, I'm a neologist,
which is a fancy pants way
of saying word maker upper.
So, when you pick with your
fingers, you are fingerpicking.
And when you pick with a plectrum
you are "plectrating".
I like to plectrate. Don't you?
