One thing I've noticed over the years is that young players - I mean 10- and 12-year-olds - really like my guitar style. There's something in my guitar style that they totally can latch onto and learn quickly, and then go from there to your Yngwie Malmsteens or your Steve Vais or whatever.

Being 16 years old and getting an electric guitar is never going to get old. There's always going to be kids making music. There's always going to be kids in bands.

Guitars have been the obsession of my life. I first picked one up at the age of four and I've been a guitar junkie ever since.

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.

At my high school, there were always kids carrying acoustic guitars around, which is why I named my band the Mountain Goats. I didn't want to seem like one of those guys who brought his guitar to the party whether you asked him to or not.

I shared guitars before I actually got one of my own and played a guy's Silver tone and played another guys Danelectro 12 string and it was at about age 17 that I actually started playing.

Young kids should be doing music that has shock value. They'll grow out of it.

Music was something I found on my own. I got my first guitar when I was around 10, and it just all developed over time.

All I thought about when I was a kid was getting my guitar and entertaining people.
