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

I got a guitar when I was about 14, for a Christmas present, and went from there.

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

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 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.

I played the guitar in ninth grade. My sister's friend went on a semester abroad, and she left the guitar at our house for nine months.

I was 16 when I started playing. I borrowed a friend's acoustic guitar, and I had a Beatles chord book. I just taught myself that way.

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.
