My dad bought me a guitar and people would ask me to play.

My dad bought me a guitar when I was very young, and I never looked back.

I picked up a guitar, and I knew what I wanted to do.

There was a guitar that my uncle owned and never learnt to play. He sold it to my dad, and when I heard 'Layla', that was the tune that really grabbed me. I said to my dad, 'Wait, there's a guitar, right?'

Besides being a guitar player, I'm a big fan of the guitar. I love that damn instrument.

So, my big brother was playing guitar and I figured I'd try it too.

It was my love for the guitar that first got me into music and singing.

I picked up the guitar at 12 yrs old - basically, my mother and father bought it for me for Christmas. I played one at my friend's house; when I say played it, I just played around with it at my friend's house. It just struck me as something I really wanted.

When I was 15, I begged my grandfather to give me this guitar he'd always had in the back of his closet. I promised him I'd learn to play it, but I never did. Then my grandfather died, and I felt so guilty. So I started playing.
