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

Yeah, my dad bought me a guitar when I was like 10, and I didn't really want it then.

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.

What I do now is all my dad's fault, because he bought me a guitar as a boy, for no apparent reason.

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.

My father was a guitar player, and I was raised with a super high standard of what good guitar playing was.

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

I watched my daddy play that guitar, and whenever I could, I would pick it up and strum on it.

My dad always played a lot of music, so I heard him playing all the time, and then I decided that I wanted to learn to play guitar, so I got an acoustic and started taking lessons. I wanted to be able to shred like Yngwie Malmsteen.
