My first guitar was a Gretsch 6120, and I just loved listening to artists like Elvis, Chuck Berry and Stray Cats.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My real interest in music was the old 78 records and the sound of the music. I loved it and began to realize that one of the main sounds on those old records I loved was the guitar.
It was my love for the guitar that first got me into music and singing.
Music was something I found on my own. I got my first guitar when I was around 10, and it just all developed over time.
I was a guitar player first off.
My first instrument was the piano; I played in the church, and before that I sang in church. I didn't learn the guitar until I was 24 years old.
I was always just kind of obsessed with guitar, even before I started playing.
Well I was on the one hand, the more I played the guitar the more I began to really love the guitar and to love virtually any kind of music that anybody played well on guitar.
I've always loved the guitar. You see Jimi Hendrix playing the guitar with his teeth, and OK, you know you're never going to be able to do that, but I always wanted to play an instrument of some sort.
My first really good guitar was a Gibson J-45.
When I got my first guitar, I played along with everything I heard that had guitar in it, like the Ramones, Nirvana and Sublime, as well as whatever hip-hop and R&B stuff was on the radio.
