I've been playing for about five years, I think. I took lessons for the
first 4 and a half of those, then, because of time constraints, I had to
stop. So I've been trying to get more technique and versatility under my
belt on my own. I am the "official" fill-in at my church, as well as being
one of two bassists that play at my youth group, and I have a band. So the
playing time is there, I'm looking to expand my capabilities.
