Q3: What's your main musical ambition?
I played music for a very long time but stopped rather abruptly and never got back into it. Now as a Dad to young kids they've pulled me back into enjoying music together with them. It's been serendipitous and wonderful, like reconnecting with a long lost friend. So, I guess I want to share in the joy of music with them.
From a purely personal perspective and as a musician, I'd like to deepen my understanding of the guitar and music in general so that I understand why certain chords and notes sound good together. I have no aspirations to be a singer but would like to feel comfortable playing and singing competently in front of family and friends. I want to try my hand at building a guitar. But my big one would be to learn how to boogie on the piano. :-)
