GMC Forum _ Artists & Bands (Muris) _ How I Started Guitar

Posted by: Crazyfret Jan 8 2008, 05:46 PM

Hey Muris how ya doing?

Well my first foray into learning the guitar didn't get off to a great start. Probably got my first guitar when I was 7-8 yrs old for christmas, it was an accoustic. I write left handed and my parents believed I would play left handed and therefore the guitar was strung accordingly. However christmas came around and I pick up the guitar and put it on as though for a righthanded player would do!! My parents seeing this said no the other way!! Me being a dumb kid did so and struggled to finger / play for a while and then gave up!! Not realising that I find playing righthanded more natural LOL.

I suppose the moral is don't always think your parents are right

Lol, that's awesome. We all have our moments though, so it's all good. At least you can play now.
