Played guitar and lead vocal with my own group for many years. Played in some of the best places in New York. Play Boy Culb -- Terrace in the park -- Tavern on the Green --ect.
In 1985 I moved to Florida. They reconized a guitar player as a seventh instrument in a group -- very little work --- so one-man-band

My guitar had a midi attachment, I used it to drive the keyboard. It was as if my left hand was fingering the chords, but I could not use the set-up to play solos. As I improved on the keyboard the guitar was not used as often.

I sold my three D'Aquesto guitars and bought a good rock guitar,A steel string taylor guitar, and a nylon classic guitar.

There is nothing like the sound of a real accoustic instrument -- Guitar is still my favorite, although I do not play it as often.
Maybe as I get older, I just turned 73. Amen
