Hello,
I am Mel Hughes from Sparta, TN, a little community nestled into the western edge of the Cumberland Plateau, about 90 miles east of Nashville. I have been playing guitar in some manner since 1963 or so. I played in garage bands, then with small folk groups. Most of my beginnings were self taught or picked up from band mates. Later, I studied music for several years in college but ultimately took a different career path (thanks to Uncle Sam and the draft...) In the last few years, I have been trying to expand my skill, trying to learn more fingerstyles in a broader range of music from James Taylor things to Bluegrass, and even some blues. So this forum and the lessons have been a great source of information for me.
