I guess my father got me started. He tried to learn air-guitar. He'd sit in his chair for hours and practice. I'd sit at his feet and wonder. But he never was that good, so he got frustrated by it and the air-guitar went into the closet under the stairs. A few years later, I found that air-guitar and started messing around with it.

It wasn't until college, though, I actually bought my own guitar. I decided to try something different, so I picked out a Gibson acoustic. There have been many guitars since. I play about an hour a day, amplified, steel-stringed, or nylon.

XD

It was just a cheap one. I think he picked it up used. Money was always a bit tight in our house, growing up .... as were a few of my relatives. But that's another story.

Beatles first. Then later on The Monkees. Lots of good session guitarists on their records.

I got interested in the guitar about two years ago. When I was looking through my Dad's music collection on his computer, I came across Stevie Ray Vaughan. This was the first blues music i ever listened to. And Stevie Ray blew me out of the water when I first head Texas flood. Then a few mouths later I was invited to an Eric Clapton concert in Boston. Obviously I went and this might have been what triggered my desire to play. It was about a year ago. Then I discovered Jimi Hendrix by way of Stevie Ray Vaughan. Then I went out and bought all three of Hendrix's albums.

And then it was only a few mouths before I started to play that I discovered John Mayer. Someone at school mentioned they say him last summer. So I descried to look at some vids of him on youtube. And one agen i ended up buying all of his albums and loved them. I think John Mayer was the final push to get me to pick up a guitar. I did so in January 2007. And I got a squire strat.

And as for other influences such as the Beatles the Doors, Nirvana, and Radiohead. I grew up with there songs, and it effected my taste in music greatly.

And I never regretted buying that strat for a second. :)

I recall being a toddler in Texas a long, long time ago. I heard "I've Got To Get You Into My Life" on the radio one day.........that hooked me and I wanted to make that incredible sound that I heard for myself. So, I guess it was the Beatles.

I'd have to say that Eric Clapton was my biggest influence. I started taking lessons in the 60's, and Cream, Blind Faith, and Derek and the Dominos just blew me away,
