This sums me up pretty well too.

Started on a classical and then transitioned to steel string. Never really used a pick, just fingers. Later I saw Mark Knopfler playing and said "Hey, that's the same way I play! uh, just not quite as well..." Good enough to have fun and at least entertain non-players and beginners, anyway.

I've always been more of an analytical math/science guy. Learning to play guitar has been a great way to, probably, use my brain a little differently.
