Can we have everything louder than everything else???
What made you get into playin guitar????
For me it was watching Ritchie Blackmore on a mtv concert when they used to play real music!!! Anyway the way he just played and then went nuts on his strat blew me away,My favorite part was when he was playin the Smoke on the Water riff with a frisbee.After that I told my folks I wanted a guitar and after that things have never been the same.

The punk explosion in 1976 it made me realise that anyone could do it. I bought a guitar played it for about 3 weeks, forgot about it and returned to it 21 years later. I regret not keeping it up all those years ago.
It takes 3 chords, 2 fingers and one asshole to play rock'n'roll

That nylon string guitar standing in my living room 8 years ago, it looked very intrigueing! So I picked it up one day, and started playing, fell in love with it from the moment I knew my first 3 chords! hehe
It's weird how you start loving it more and more the more you play though, freaky stuff!

Hendrix, he was a god. No one will never amount to him. He is the main reason while i wanted to play.

Yes, I learned how to play giuitar on my mothers 1950's Yamaha nylon string acoustic. Its great when you can learn fingerstyle before everything else, because it really helps you get in touch with your natural abilities, and later on down the line it definitely adds a great amount of fluidity to your overall technique. Personally, Jimmy Page inspired me in so many different ways, what really attracted me to his style is the fact that he in't afraid to go with his impulses whether its blues, rock or classical pieces. There aren't many people quite like him who aren't afraid to rely on themselves.

The reason why i started playin was mainly that i admired the skill involved and practise needed to be able to play.
I felt i owed it to myself to give it a go..
Its better that all this trance music crap, guitar has voice, guitar has sole and above all.....
IT ROCKS!

To improve technique and of course trying to keep all as clean as possible. I know my own limits and speed limits and so on I never play anything I'm not capable of. That wouldn't make any sense. After three years of playing I tried to play everything as fast as possible and that sounded, I would say, like shit, and I didn't realize that if I'd play bit slower things than I was capable of playing then everything would sound much better.

I guess I was facinated by the fact that I didn't have to blow into it to make it sound it makes the noise all by it self. When I was young this was really a cool thing for me, then I heard Aldo Nova, Def Leppard and AC/DC. I really liked heavy music. I met a guy at High school who's brother was in a band called Sweet Poison. I got to roady for them and got to watch Frankie Alcazar play his guitar and make such cool noises out of it. I had to learn, I got a harmony guitar from another kid in school and a little Garilla amp. I have been playin ever since.
