I've played "things with strings" in dozens of bands over many years.
Electric and acoustic guitar, mandolin, bass, dulcimer and bouzouki to name but a few. And I've played in many genres - rock, pop, blues, acoustic, folk, Traditional Irish, in fact almost everything except jazz and opera!
These days I mainly just write and record in my home studio. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
