I play electric guitar since my teenage years and picked up a five string after I visited KY in 2005. I learned to pick some bass, mandolin and acoustic guitar along the way. At this point I study piano, rockabilly guitar and mostly Scruggs style on the banjo. I also play in an electric band and produce electronic music.
