for me I think it was the desire to have "that feeling"? know what I mean? I could hear some people play....and actually feel it in me....and I wanted to chase that feeling and make it come from my fingers...and feel it. I still feel that when I hear Dave Matthews or john mayer..but for some reason I just dont seem to play like them...lolol. Anyway.....no words...just chasing the feeling I felt when I heard what touched me!
