I've been playing for about 25 - 30 yrs. Guitars (in order of preference) I play are: custom Oskar Graf, Martin OOO-18 (1967) and a Martin D-1R (a couple of years old). I use a flat pick and finger pick with my middle and ring finger so I can switch from flatpicking to fingerpicking on the fly. The type of music depends who I'm playing with but ranges from acoustic blues to bluegrass as well as some jazz and show tunes.

Interestingly, I took up fiddle a couple of years ago and while that's a slow process, I find it's helped my guitar playing as far as developing my sense of melody, phrasing, etc.
