After 6 months, I'd had my own guitar for about three weeks, and I was driving the rest of my family crazy while I played for five hours a day. I was in high school at the time, and I had a morning paper route, so I was basicaly getting by on about four hours of sleep a day. I don't remember what I was playing at the time, but if you check out the Top 10 charts circa 1968, you can see that I had a lot to try for!
