THe guitar is my 1st love. Though I can play about a dozen different instruments with varying degrees of proficiency, I wanted to play the guitar since I was around 7 or 8. I think I've finally succeeded. Though these days if I pick up an instrument for my amusement it's usually the fiddle. After 30 or so years I have finally started to get somewhere on that most difficult of instruments. Come to think of it though, none of them are really easy.MArk Ross
