Background

I've been playing guitar since I was 13 years old. Primarily, I wanted to learn how to play and sing songs that I was fond of, one of which was Good Riddance by Green Day. I also gravitated to that song because my first guitar was acoustic and I've mostly played acoustic since then. A turning point in my playing came when I learned how to finger pick which happened when I was 19 when I was trying to play Such Great Heights by Iron and Wine. That was a cover of the song of the same name by the band Postal Service, and I learned that I really enjoy playing acoustic covers of songs that were very far from acoustic. A few of my most appreciated acoustic covers include songs by the Gorillaz and MGMT.
