Let me explain something about guitar playing. Everyone's got their own character, and that's the thing that's amazed me about guitar playing since the day I first picked it up. Everyone's approach to what can come out of six strings is different from another person, but it's all valid.

Aww, come on man, I can barely handle 6 strings.

I did pick up a guitar once, but the strings hurt my fingers so I put it down again.

I stuck with that size because I could bend the strings so well, and somewhere along the line I must have gotten it into my mind that I had small hands, so I was thinking I'd never be able to play a full-scale guitar, but I also felt like I was cheating or cutting corners.

I've really gone into business since I got the 6 string, which was like starting all over.

I've been playing a guitar since I was 10 years old.

I don't recall getting a first guitar.

I tried the guitar, but it had two strings too many. It was just too complicated, man! Plus, I grew up with Steve Cropper. There were so many good guitar players, another one wasn't needed. What was needed was a bass.

I started playing guitar kind of by accident.

I play the guitar a little bit.
