Guitars

I practice guitar, I never said I could play.

Why I play

I love the guitar. I love the challenge. I love the fact that there are technical aspects as well as creative aspects of the guitar. I love that you're never really "done" learning how to play it.

It's a lot like developing good software and being a good problem solver. I don't know if I'll ever be an expert at it, but I do know I'll always love playing it.

The lineup

• The favorite

  Paul Reed Smith

  The black electric on the left. My favorite.

• The acoustic

  Fender acoustic

  It's nice, but a tad on the cheap side.

• Gone

  The bass

  Bought for $80 on Craigslist in the hope of further challenges, but it was only ever a novelty. It was gone a year later. I just wasn't into it.

• Someday

  A Martin

  I hope to get a really, really nice acoustic someday, when I get good and can justify it.
