I've played piano and guitar when I was younger.

When I was younger, playing piano and guitar were all things that I wanted to do for a short period of time, like any kid.

I started playing guitar back in '56. I was a teenager, and guitars had just come in, and I had a thing for it and got one. Started learning lead breaks from songs, because that was the easiest thing to do at the time. I had the guitar for two years before I learned any chords. Really.

I've actually been playing music ever since I was a young a kid. I got my first guitar when I was about 7 or 8 years old, so I've always been doing music.

I grew up playing classical piano and percussion.

I taught myself how to play the guitar. I never studied music.

I never really trained to be a musician, but I've been playing guitar since I was around, like, 13 years old. For me, the guitar has always been the instrument that I've played. I play a little piano. I taught myself everything by ear. I don't read music at all, which has not really been a hindrance.

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