Paavo Downing is one of our reporters here at the PHS Press. In his Meet the Staff interview, he talked about learning to play guitar. 

He got in to guitar for kicks 5 years ago on a Fender mini. He self taught for the most part using the internet as a guide. He also got help from his dad. Later he started playing a Marshall Kelly, as well as a Yamaha. 

Mostly he plays Indi and Rock and Roll. He will sometimes play with his dad in their basement.
