I never even held a guitar until I was 23 and living in California, but then loved it. I'm really not an accomplished instrumentalist. Maybe that has something to do with why I write and sing.

My dad wanted me to play when I was a kid, so I learned to play the guitar. I pursued a career in music because I love it so much and I enjoy what it does to those who hear it.

I loved playing the guitar and I knew I was pretty good at it, so that's what I wanted to do with my life.

When I got into music, I wanted to learn guitar just enough to be able to write songs. I wanted to be able to express myself.

Everything I did is because I wanted to do it. If I weren't playing this arena, if I were playing a club, I'd still be doing it because that's what I want to do. I love playing the guitar.

I even played bass for a while. Besides playing electric guitar, I'd also get asked to play some acoustic stuff. But, since I didn't have an acoustic guitar at the time, I used to borrow one from a friend so I could play folk joints.

I was always just kind of obsessed with guitar, even before I started playing.

I started writing songs when I started learning guitar.

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

I was a guitar player first off.
