Hi GMC, just wondered what made you guys pick up the guitar? Why did u choose that instrument? What was the first song or "thing" u learnt??
I picked up the guitar because i was grounded for skipping school once I was so bored and i learnt my first song Seven nation Army by white stripes Since then guitar and music became my life -------------------- "Never give up!"

A coincidence really, I've played various instruments since I was 7, mostly the electric organ and clarinet. Since about age 12 I was curious about the electric guitar but was still into other instruments. I also concidered drums. Not until I was 20 there was a guy at work who was selling his equipment, a beginner amp and guitar. I was working night with absolutely nothing to do so I decided to finally start learning to play so I bought his guitar and amp and started to practice there during my night shifts.

Just kinda happened really. I was watching something on Tv about Guns 'n Roses and saw slash playing and said 'What the heck I'll give it a try". That was about a year and a half ago and I still remember it. Good thing about it was that my parents loved the idea. Had to pay for it though but it was well worth it

I was bored one day, and saw the old acoustic guitar on the floor, and decided to play with it a bit. And that was that

I learned some things by memory on piano in high school, but couldn't read music, and always just assumed guitar would be impossible for me. But music was still my greatest thrill... Fast forward 30 years, and I'm thinking maybe I could just get a cheap guitar and learn Amazing Grace with a slide. Then one day I heard a solo by a favorite band, and I fell off the cliff. I said "that's it, I have to at least OWN the instrument that can do that."
As we all know, once you pick it up, you're hooked. -------------------- "I dreamed a lot when I was younger.. I'm older now but still I hunger For some understanding. There's no understanding, now. Was there ever? ...Joe Puerta (Ambrosia)... Finally got a YouTube page going. |

Was around the mid 70's I bought Caress of Steel by Rush (thinking it was a new Pavlov's Dog album
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvDE3eBlVHg ) and I heard Bastille Day...that got me hooked. I made the same mistake in the mid 80's when I bought Alcatrazz's No Parole from Rock and Roll thinking it was a new MSG album (Graham Bonnet sang on both)...that got me hooked on shred!
