Does anyone play? How did you learn? What kind of music do you play? If you travel with it, how on earth do you do it?
As for me, I picked it up after playing klezmer and 'folk punk' (whatever that means) on strings for a couple years, and by imitating someone else who's also self-taught and didn't exactly 'know what they were doing' either. I recently got a book of Sephardic tunes (by Merima Kljuco) and I'm trying to learn some more interesting rhythm-hand techniques. I also play more Leonard Cohen songs than I think anyone else I've ever met.
