My musical background before 5 months ago consisted of one lesson each of piano and guitar over 10 years ago and that's it, so basically nothing.

But I don't think people give enough credit to listening music a lot to develop your ears.

But in terms of your typical musical background, about 5 months ago I threw myself into reading music theory and sound engineering books like crazy whenever I could and have been hooked ever since.
