Who am I?
I'm just a 40 year old boy who strongly believes that age is in the spirit, not in the body. I work with computers, but I rarely think of using them on music, as it would imply an artificiality that I don't like. I feel quite pleased with the fact that guitar sounds are very difficult to emulate using synthesizers or similar electronic "gadgets".

How come I play the guitar?
I had this friend who was having classes on accordion. Later, he got himself a guitar. I didn't like much of what I heard him play on the guitar, and I thought to myself that I could easily do better than that. I bought a book and off I went. I've been playing now for more than 20 years, and it has been an extraordinary voyage. I believe it will continue to be.
WholeNote has been a tremendous asset in my evolution as a player, in every way. I hope you'll enjoy the site as much as I do.
