Only about two years or so really. I learned a few chords about 20 years ago, but then just put the guitar up for all those years. I got it back out about two years ago, when we needed music in the Youth Group I was leading. Our piano player wasn't "into" much teen stuff, she was grandmother's hymns and little kids the B-I-B-L-E stuff. The teens where not responding at all. So when she took off to have her second child, the door was opened to try something new. It has worked great, they kids really like it, and it has opened up our Worship Service in a great way. There is just me on guitar, no band, we are working on that. Some songs come together very quick, so don't. I practice just about everyday and try to add a new song to our list every couple of weeks. I have written a couple of songs we use for P&W.
As of last month, we have changed our last Sunday evening Service each month to a song Service. I will be expected to have a new song for this Service every month, we have alot of guest that come to these Services, I am always on the lookout for new stuff that the Lord has really touched me with, and that I can make an effort to play. Thanks, for your help.
God Bless,
