What, no one else here learned guitar to pick up chicks?



Well, alright, I guess the main motivation for me was I wanted to be good at something, and I knew that piano and violin were waaaaay too hard. Then someone in my Gr. 11 English class made up a little band and played a couple songs (one was "Creep" by Radiohead) for an English project (that English teacher was a little flaky and let him play full on electric with real drums in the middle of the school day). When I saw him playing guitar, I was so impressed by the power and magnetism of the instrument that I knew I had to learn. That was also around the time that I was really starting to get into rock music.

So, I got my acoustic (Yammy FG-310S) probably about 7 or 8 years ago and my electric (Fender Mex Strat) almost exactly 5 years ago, and I just can't seem to beat the chicks off of me!
