Well she played guitar as well, and she gave one to my brother and I used to play it (make noise I mean by that). I was about 10 or 11 now. Well then he kept annoying me with it one day when I was trying to watch TV and I called my mother at work. She got pissed off because we called her like 278 times that day, so when she got home, she smashed the guitar into a thousand pieces. Needless to say I was upset.
Then came junior high, I was about to recieve my first guitar and begin lessons, but wait, changed my mind and opted for football instead (doh!). Then after I graduated highschool, 18 years old, I bought my first guitar, a Squier strat. Traded that in about 2 weeks later on another Squier. Have had that guitar ever since and have picked up a Washburn acoustc/electric since then.
All in all, I wish I would've started when I was 10 or 11. I'm 21 now and have been playing since I was 18. Still so much to learn.
P.S. I'm getting a new guitar this month :)
Sometimes I hit notes only dogs can hear.
