<p>Patrick Donley started to play the acoustic guitar religiously (pun intended), around October of 2004, giving him five years of experience with that particular instrument. He began learning on my mother's Yamaha dreadnought, and continued with his grandfather's Washburn D10 CE acoustic-electric. Around January of 2006, he picked up ha first electric guitar, and began to fall in love with the ease of play and faster action of hihs black Samick Silvertone (Stratocaster-lookalike) 6-string electric.</p>
