Puberty was very vague. I literally locked myself in a room and played guitar.

I actually learned the guitar with the help of a Pete Seeger instructional record when I was 13 or 14.

I got my first guitar when I was 16. I'd play for my family and friends, but taking that guitar out there into the wide, wide world wasn't something I ever thought about.

I picked Dad's guitar up when I was 8. It hurt to play, so I put it down and picked it back up when I was 15 and dug in. The guitar helped me come out of my shell and kind of gave me an identity at school.

I got my first guitar when I was 15, and I just used to fool about with it, more or less, as time went by, though, I got more interested.

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

I borrowed a guitar at age 16 and taught myself to play because I wanted to write songs.

It wasn't until I was 18, when I was graduating high school, that I went and bought a guitar on a whim.

I kinda taught myself how to play guitar, and I still play to this day. It's become a pretty big part of my life.

I first picked up a guitar when I was ten years old; my parents surprised me with it for my tenth birthday. I started taking lessons when I was thirteen, but only for a few months, and then I just kept teaching myself.
