I've had some classical musical education in my childhood years, with piano lessons which ended pretty fast. Later I took up the drums and when I got tired of not having a place to rehearse I picked up a guitar only to find out that I was mostly interested in what the bass was doing in the music. So I changed once again to the bass guitar and stayed with it ever since.

I am an amateur and only play at home for leisure.
