Clarksville’s Tim Lynch played his first guitar chord at the age of 3. “That’s what my uncle David says.”
He chuckles and continues, “It’s hard to believe anything he ever said anyway, but I remember starting to play guitar when I was about 5 or 6. Learning chords, playing songs and you know, back then there wasn’t no YouTube or nothing. You just get a book and try to learn or watch somebody else.
“I was always kind of shy about it, you know. So… the way that everybody would get me to play is they would have to pay me.”
