I have been playing I say around '95 or '96. I took lessons before but I really could not play much of anything when I got to my church in 94. God has blessed me. Im not where I should be though. I can play blues and jazz style somewhat. Im not good at soloing. I currently am working on playing melody over my chords. I thinking I could teach someone what I know in a year but I have not found anyone to make that commitment and stick to it.
