Of course then the ladies was not exactly a factor in the decision
to start playing the guitar, they were more of a very pleasant
side-effect later on!
Electric guitar first seemed cool when I was 13 and heard
Metallicas "One" for the first time.
So later that day I went to "GFX Music" and bought myself
a Falcon Stratocaster and a Marshall 15w amp (I still use
the Marshall for practice, a quality amp).
I spend all my money, ca. $250, but it was definetely worth it.
