Guitars & Music Tech

Yeah, music and guitars have been my obsession since I was 12 (I'm in my 40's now). When I was younger, I took a music technology course and worked in a small studio for a bit, but failed to turn that experience into a viable job, due to the usual challenges an autistic person faces (plus, I had no idea I was autistic back then, which didn't help). 

The only wise choice I made in my life was to never stop playing the guitar. Music helps me decompress, and it's really the only thing that allows me to feel like my true self. 

I haven't been able to make my own guitars as of yet, but it's definitely in the bucket list. For now, I set them up and customise them. And I build / modify pedals, which is whole other addiction in itself...

Oh wow. That's so great. I totally share the feeling of being myself with a guitar. Second only to cats, guitar is my favourite thing and greatest sense of 'one-ness'. 

Hard industry for anyone but the extra challenges must be massive.
