Graeme K Whippy

I first picked up a guitar at the age of 46 on Dec 27th 2008 and started learning to play. Every month for the first few years I posted a video to YouTube as a way of giving myself something to aim for and to help me see that over time that I was gradually improving. Over time, I accumulated other stringed instruments and started abusing them too!

My uploads got less regular after 2016 when I started a new job and had less time, and in 2020 I got hooked on playing the piano which now takes my music R&R time, but hopefully my videos will encourage others to give learning musical instruments a go - age doesn't matter (I was born in 1963), neither does having small hands (this concerned me before starting out).

Check out Justin Sandercoe (Justin Guitar) who convinced me that I could learn to play the guitar and helped enormously on my journey, and take a look at Playground Sessions, the app/learning system that taught me the essentials of the piano and how to learn to play it.
