Matthew Curry is an American rock and blues musician from Bloomington, Illinois, United States. Curry originally began playing guitar at the age of 4 with the encouragement of his Father. Naturally born a left-hander; Curry’s first guitar, described by Matthew as a “cheap-o Walmart guitar,” was a right-handed model that he flipped upside down. Today, he typically plays a left-handed Eric Clapton Signature Fender Stratocaster. Mostly self-taught, Curry learned to play by playing along to music by artists like ZZ Top and the late Stevie Ray Vaughan.
